catching up

June is always busy and we haven't been able to get out to Shadybrook much. We did take a road trip this week to check on things. There was a wicked wind storm a couple weeks ago and we had a tree come down on our shed and another right by our water hook up. It was a year ago that the storm hit the site and many trees came down. Soon our site will look like Little Phoebe on the Prairies.

There are some trees marked with orange tape on our site so we assume this means more firewood for us. It looks like this tree will be on the chopping block - unfortunately it is holding up our lights.

Last weekend we were in Saskatchewan. We visited with family, took a bus to Regina to watch a Roughriders game and won (and then lost) at the horse races.

This weekend we have family visiting so we'll stay in the city.

We have three cocktails to review and we have guest judges - Mellissa's mom and dad are visiting from Victoria. The cocktails we reviewed are the Pineapple Orange Creamsicle Mimosa,the BBC (Bailey's Banana Colada) and Strawberry Shortcake Sangria.

All were good you can check out the reviews here. 

We also had visitors from Calgary and watched my nephew, Ben play ball. When did he get so tall?!?

The tails even braved the heat to catch a ball game.

We finished the weekend by doing yoga in Ford Hall at Rogers Place courtesy of the Edmonton Oilers Entertainment Group. It was simply splendid and just what we needed to relax!

At home we had an Aperol Spritz with dinner. These don't need a review - they are always good!
