Monday May 31st - Smelts for dinner

MJ & Albert worked on Albert's quad. Went and emptied the black water from the trailer (not my best chore of the summer). Lynn and Blake dropped in for a bit in the afternoon and everybody watched Albert and I eat clams that he had dug up on the week end. What a feast. Wish we had those nice clams out west. They are so much better than the small clams we have in BC. Tried to figure out the movie/photo camera Lorraine got from our cousin. Not successful.
Will try tomorrow. Had smelts for dinner that Albert had fished last winter from his ice shanty. Another great dinner. Ya, Janice, had to mention food.

Thursday ,Friday, Sat & Sun. May 27, 28, 29 & 30

Lorraine & I went to my niece's Lise (in Edmunston) to help her out with her garage sale. More like a mega sale. She was selling everything but the kitchen sink. Had a great time with her, her hubby Pierre and I finally met my two great nieces: Jessie and Shanie. Cute girls or what. Pierre & I had a fire in the back yard on Friday and Saturday. Saturday rain started around 10:00 pm and had to come in the house. MJ stayed in Charlo and she and Albert finished putting the box on the back of the trailer and painted the back trailer bumper.

Wednesday, May 26

Nice day. Visit from my friend Aline. Niece Lynn and her friend Sylvie. MJ started her second cold since leaving home. Guess she caught mine. Janice: we finally had our lobsters. We all had a 3 pounder, and for once in my life, I couldn't finish eating it. Getting old I guess. MJ and Albert worked on our stove and we are quite happy with the results. Now we can cook outside when the weather is not nice. Watched Americal Idol and my guy Lee won the competition.

Tuesday, May 25 - Rain, Rain & more rain.

MJ & Albert went to get the metal this morning to weld our junk box on the back of the trailer bumper. The four of us went to Campbellton to return Albert's rubber boots that were too small, couldn't find another pair that fit. Went grocery shopping. had a quiet evening at the house, Lorraine, MJ & I watch the last two episodes of Grey's Anatomy on the puter.

Monday May 24 - Hot then very cold

Weather started hot, hot, hot, then in late afternoon, the east wind came up and cooled thing down so that we had to put layers of clothes on. MJ and Albert did some of the little things that had to be done for our camping stove. MJ got her lathe out and started making a bowl for Lorraine. Sylvie, Lynn, Blake and Toby came to visit for a couple hours before dinner. Watched the Canadians lose to Philladelphia. Now I don't know who to cheer for since our Canucks are out of the picture, guess will cheer for Chicago since they beat our Canucks. Thunder, lightning and rain during the night.

Sunday May 23rd - Hot, Hot, Hot

Hot day in May. However, nice day with Albert & Lorraine. Showed Albert all we wanted him to do for us while we are here. Like, fix the camping stoves we have. Weld brackets on the back of the trailer to put the metal box we found at a garage sale. Fix the door on our truck canopy.

Sat May 22 - Gorgeous sunny day

Welcome to everyone following us. You may find some days I feel like the bug, some days I feel like the windshield. Speaking of which, went for a little shopping trip yesterday to buy my bro some new rubber boots, his looked like a patchwork quilt from hell (they are too small, gotta exchange them). MJ & Lynn were sitting in the front of Lynn's car and me in the back. My lucky day. A wasp or bumble bee came in and hit MJ', left lens and went into Lynn's right ear. Lynn didn't know what the heck hit her, she plucked the bug out in a flash and threw it on MJ's seat and MJ picked it up and threw it out. All this was done in about 2 seconds. Screams and movements like thunder and lightening. Funny now, but at the time quite nerve racking. Had dinner here with Lorraine, Albert, MJ, Lynn and her two boys (Blake & Toby). Gotta love those kids. Quiet evening. On a side note, this cold of mine just keeps persisting. Not going away.
