I Is For Inventions I LOVE

I love this fan. This fan is the best thing to happen to me today. Ahhhhhhhhh......something cool in the heat wave! This fan has been around forever! I remember it when I was a little kid. Thanks Mom for bringing it to us!

H Is For History Lesson

We spent today with Alex's brother's family and went to see his nephew play lacrosse in New West at Queen's Park...this is the historical time line of the park, the arenas and the other stuff in the area.

G Is For Goody Bag

We spent the day with Alex's family and had a bit of an early birthday party. This is the bag of goodies that Alex's mom sent me home with...good thing birthdays only come once a year!

F Is For Fridge Gadget

This thing is a bit of a waste of space...we never thought we'd use it since we're not big beer or pop drinkers, but lately, ginger ale has been the cub's beverage of choice, so Alex brought a case home. This only holds 9 cans, not a whole case, and after the first one, they're a bit fizzy when they come out.

E Is For Evening Entertainment

Not only do I get to hang out with Alex in the evenings, we had the chance to play a game tonight. I could get used to this...very used to this! Quick, what game and what did Alex just roll?

D Is For Daddy-to-be

Who happened to move just as I hit the shutter button. Silly Daddy-to-be! I've had a treat the last two weeks because he's been working the midday shift instead of the evening shift...means we actually get to have dinner together and spend more than half an hour together and see friends at night. AMAZING!

PS D is also for Devon whose birthday it is today...Happy Birthday Devon!

C Is For Cocoa

Otherwise known as hot chocolate, also known as "how Shannon starts her day." Yummy...

And yes, I do know there is a similar picture back in December/January.

B Is For Blue Sky and Boats

The view. I know. I've taken pictures of it before. But it's nice out today. That's unusual...at least right now it is!

A Is For Audience

We just got home from a very cool event at the Chan Centre. This is the audience at intermission.

Train Tracks

I took this as we walked down to Granville Island for dinner. Where the tracks used to run, people have planted pretty gardens - food and flowers. And this really is a corner.

Not A Street Corner

This is how we spent our super exciting Friday night (okay, so we have to be at the hospital at 8:30 tomorrow morning for prenatal classes, but I think this means we're gettind old). On my way to bed at 10:30, I realized I hadn't taken the street corner picture today...since I'm ready for bed, I'm not going outside to find a corner (and I've already posted the one you can see from our window). Better luck tomorrow!

Crossroads

These sign posts are all over campus...I pass this one on the way to work every morning.

Path Corner

Okay, so it's not a street corner, but it is a corner...and it had traffic...

Kitty Corner

The Spy Store is kitty corner to the gas station from Sunday night. Yes, I do go out during the day. No, I don't spend my evenings hanging out on street corners. Yes, kitty corner is a correct term. As are catercorner and catty corner.

Room With A View

If you can call it a view...this is the view from our living room late at night. Because tonight, well, I forgot to take a picture. Again.

Heading Home

After a nice afternoon and evening with Alex's family, we finally arrived home just before midnight. And I forgot to take a picture until just before we got home. And gas is 146.8. Ridiculous. And out of focus. Sorry.

This Little Piggy

Our friend Shannon is here from Toronto for a few days with her fiancé Sunir for a few days. This afternoon we walked down to Granville Island and, of course, spent ages hanging out in the Kids Market playing with toys and puppets. Alex and this pig got along very well!

Watermelon Lemonade

Summer is here! Tonight I made watermelon lemonade...yummy!

(note: I increased the watermelon and added four cans of water instead of three)

Remnant

I have a basket of leftover yarn that I spent hours rolling into balls. The plan is that one day to create squares out of the leftovers and make a patchwork afghan for me. This was great yarn to work with - I made Isabella's baby blanket out of it. I used the same yarn in blue and in white to make two other blankets. I might just have to go see if I can find more of it in one of the yarn shops...once I've reduced my current stash substantially!

Triple Pink

I had to go upstairs to visit my friend the photocopier and came back to see these three pink things in a row on my desk. I totally left them that way, but I didn't notice until I went away and came back. The highlighter I was using earlier this morning, the Nalgene is a decoration and the flower is part of a pen that is disguised as a flower that I got at some Girl Guide event a while ago. I'm not sure if I've ever used it or if it even works, but I'm sure it ended up here because I didn't need more clutter at home...it even survived the move from the old building to the new building last summer.
