Holy Mackerel!
I can't believe it has almost been a month since I wrote on this little blog. I would say that I have been way to busy to have been on the computer, but such is not the case.
Summer has finally arrived here in Delisle. In fact, it arrived last friday. Summer Solstice. I kick myself because I didn't celebrate the day like I planned. In fact that day was miserably hot and I got grumpy. Grumpy because I HATE being hot. We spent the entire day outside and my head began to ache more and more as the day went on. Finally Paul told me to go put my legs in the pool to cool off. I did, and lo and behold, I felt much better. Sounds like I would be an excellent candidate to live in Kansas hey?
Athena spent a good portion of the day in the water. I re-applied her sunblock I don't know how many times. Can't be too careful. Jill came by around dinner time and we had a wonderful meal. Actually, we had wonderful meals all weekend.Let me expand.
Friday night we had Tandoori Chicken Kebabs with Indian scented rice and Cauliflower with turmeric and cumin and some Naan bread. Oh my. I was in heaven. It was so good. We ate dinner on the deck.
Saturday night we ate Tilapia Piccata with Oven roasted potatoes and hmmm... what veg? I can't recall. We also had crostini with Baba Ganoush.
Sunday we ate grilled Steak with Mole Poblano rub, mushroom ragout, corn on the cob and grilled asparagus. Yum.
This week, Paul is away to Winnipeg so we don't eat quite so well.
He comes home Wednesday night only to fly out to Kansas for his final interview, Thursday morning. Back on the plane for sales meetings in Toronto tuesday morning. Canada Day if you can believe that.
About Kansas... we have all but decided if it all works out legally, we will be on our way. We are quite excited about the possibilities but on the flip side, we would be equally happy to stay. We finally have our back yard in shape, Paul's travel will be reduced as they hired a man for Manitoba and of course, the familiarity of life as we know it. It won't be long until we know.
On another note, I found out that I have to have a surgery this summer. I am on the urgent list so I hope to have it done soon, before we leave anyway. I am not sure about US health coverage and here in good old Saskatchewan, it is free. Free to me anyway. Someone somewhere is paying for it. ;)
I'll keep you all posted about our possible move and about my surgery too.
I'll leave you with a couple of pictures to feast your lovely eyes on.
