Aspen Wilde 31370 Report post Posted July 28, 2012 Had a great reunion this morning. Went to the market, bought a bunch of kiwis. Now I am naked, in the sunshine, dancing to great music. What don't I love about my life? And can I suggest that we all pause for a moment and ponder the word 'kiwi'? 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Katherine of Halifax 113931 Report post Posted July 28, 2012 Last night I was picked up and taken to a beautiful organic farm two hours outside of St John's. Our drive to destination was breathtaking and the home and property I visited was a place of unique beauty and charm. The large property was full of every kind of berry, flower and vegetable. I was taken care of the entire night, was awakened by the ocean surf and had a delicious breakfast served to me in bed. I was treated like a queen and I thank my wonderful host for such a delightful and memorable evening. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The guitar was out, steak and lobster were on the menu, the beer was good and we went swimming at their beach. T'was the closest to skinny dipping I have done in a long time. :) 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cometman 35115 Report post Posted July 30, 2012 Returned home 30 minutes ago from my 10 day motorcycle trip. 4100 kms. from NS to NB, Que., Ont., NY, Vermont, NH, Mass., Maine, and back home. The last day was a marathon 16 hours from Mass.- NS.......14 hours of which were in the rain. My dogs showed me they missed me when I got home. Met friends (new and old) and relatives along the way. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Old Dog 179138 Report post Posted July 30, 2012 Don't freak out, but the highlight of my day was my... NINJA POOP! The poop that disappears. The poop that didn't happen. The poop where when everything is said and done and you look into the toilet bowl... there's nothing there! It's disappeared into the hole... I found out why!!!!

jafo105 39057 Report post Posted July 30, 2012 I am so excited. My application to adopt a cat was accepted. The only thing left is a lady will be coming to my home Saturday to ensure that I have a safe and clean environment for the cat. I have had cats before but not since 1998. Those girls I had for 10 years. I had to give them up do to an out of town work assignment. And I could not find a sitter to take them for the three months. I am so excited... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeeRichards 177238 Report post Posted July 30, 2012 I was driving my truck on a prairie dirt trail where I work and stopped at a clearing off of a dead end. To the north was a bright yellow canola field in bloom....to the west was a bright blue flax field in bloom...to the south was a golden brown winter wheat field that a combine was just pulling into to harvest their first crop of the season. A lake is close by as well with the sun beaming off of the water. I sat there for a long period of time and enjoyed and pondered life. I saw a moose, 36 deer before I quit counting, many ducks, some Canada geese and literally hundreds of other birds and waterfowl, a coyote....didn't have my gun unfortunately, some rabbits, and a trespasser that I had to ask to leave lol. That I suppose was a highlight too cause I can't stand the arrogant prick. Anywhooo....one of those moments where you love being a country bumkinses !!! WAIT !!! Not done yet ;) haha After some pretty awesome inspiration as of late and some soul searching I have decided this morning that NOW is the time to finally pursue my lifelong dreams ! Professionally and personally. Like a lightning bolt that snapped me out of a freaking coma I can see again !!! That is my biggest highlight of the day. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest t**d**teur Report post Posted July 30, 2012 My highlight of the day was realizing I hadn't had a nicotine craving in three days. This is my Day 13 without a puff. I had been smoking some 45 years; that almost 1/3 million cigarettes. But I'm not ready to go jogging or join a gym yet. I think I'll just continue with this hobby.

Professionally and personally. Like a lightning bolt that snapped me out of a freaking coma I can see again !!! That is my biggest highlight of the day. Mine was the same as Lee's... except for all the nature stuff. Instead of a moose substitute "redhead" - deer should be replaced by "brunettes" - ducks replaced by "blondes" - the birds should be replaced by "hot chicks" and the trespasser should be replaced by "younger fit guy that was taking too much attention away." That's life outside in downtown Ottawa on a warm summer's day.... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aspen Wilde 31370 Report post Posted July 31, 2012 I spent my yesterday on a boat, and also off the boat, swimming in a beautiful lake. I acquired some more magnificent burn lines while lying in the sun with my French political philosophy. Good people, good beer, and the spaciousness of nature made for a wonderful afternoon. At sunset we went out again. I floated on my back in the water and all I could see was the sky -empty except for the moon- which was a delicate shade of blue paling in the fading light, and the water, which reflected the trees onto the surface around me. I stayed that way for a good long time. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
