June something or other...

Well it's almost the end of June, and I haven't got the house in order just yet. Everytime I think I finsih a room, or a space, we find something in our garage, or something in another room taht has to be moved, sigh... I'm trying to get rid of the clutter, but Friggin' eh?! I have a lot of junk.

This week is going to be a busy week for us, we have a lot of work to do on the backyard, all prep for the patio. I can't wait to have a place to just sit outside and baskin the sunlight, to sun tan, and to one day have patio furniture so that I can entertain. We have to finish tearing up some of the lawn, leveling out the land, and spreading out crushed rock/old concrete... then on Saturday the men can begin building.

Thrusday Mom and Dad Skafte are coming up, with Steve in tow. On Friday morning Steve and Dad S. will be heading up to Moncton to get Janet and all her things... to move down here to good Ol' Truro. I think that most of the moving will be done Friday, Saturday is patio day... and Sunday we rest. On sunday afternoon Mom and Dad McGuire are coming up to Truro. sunday afternoon will be a BBQ at our place. Monday will be the finishing up day for the Patio - and hopefully the putting up of Siding.... sigh so much to do and only so much time.

Oh Thrusday David and I have Dentist appointments... yikes, I'm not really a big dentist fan... but I'll brave it and go find out if it'll cost us less than 2 grand or not, to fix our teeth... yeesh!!

updating for updating's sake

Today was a day, I got up late, did the laundry, cleaned up the living room, moved some furniture, and then napped a bit.

tonight I'm making mayonase and dill smoothered salmon, garlic mashed potatoes and steamed veggies.

We are adding a patio to the house, and we are coming along very well. by July 3rd we'll have it up and running - well standing... I've been taking Photos to document it and when it's all said and done i'll upload them.

umm i think that's it for my life right now...

umm yeah so everyone else - Friggin' update eh!?!

Our FIRST Anniversary

Ahhh what a wonderful weekend, and It's only Sunday morning. I'll be updating now and then the rest tomorrow. For a few pictures - check out My Pictures -

David and I went to Moncton to Château Moncton. It was great. This is where we stayed our first night of our honeymoon. Sigh I thought he might book us a night there. It was great. We love the complimentary breakfast. It is one of the better, if not the best we've seen.

We went to East Side Marios fordinnerr, I had the Tettrazinni, and David the Steak. It was so very delicious... We love eating there. Sigh I just love food....Ahaa...Sighh.

We saw Janet and Garret and stopped by to see Brandy and Ryan (only Ryan was home, oh with Hailey) (sorry we missed you Brannie)

The Fairholm Inn was built in 1839 - it is beautiful, and has such a historic feel. Everything is wonderful, the curtians, the colours, the beds, the dinning room, the cultery, the silver.. sigh. perfect. The room is so great. There is an Island made brick archway, queen-sized bed, 2-person tub, sitting area, fireplace, it was lovely!

For our Saturday Night dinner, we went out to a beautiful Inn /Restaurant - the Dundee Arms Inn. It was quite remarkable. As part of our Romance Package we had a voucher for a fabulous meal....Soo we ordered,

- Lobster & Scallops Seafood Cakes!! Pan seared seafood cakes garnished with fresh garden greens and a chive cream fraiche - They were probably the best part of the meal, the lobster was tender the scallops wereabsolutelyy "to die for"
- Peppered Beef Tenderloin! The best Island 8 oz tenderloin, pan roasted and served with a rich brandy and cracked peppercorn sauce. David enjoyed this so much, I even got to steal some bites, sigh it better be this good for $30.
- Green Olive Chicken, so yummy. Onion, spinach and feta stuffed chicken breast crusted with panko and topped with a green olive with wine cream. This was my dish, it was very tasty. David also liked it. I think that I preferred the beef, but the chicken was great. We thought about getting a fish dish but since later on today we will be heading to the fisherman's wharf (all you can eat buffet and Lobster dinner) we thought maybe not tonight!!
- Dessert was - 9 Nut (pecan plus) pie, and Chocolate Cheesecake .Both yummy, but not as yummy as the seafood cakes...Sighh... I love Lobster!!

So now it is off to the beach and lobster - woot woot woot.

oh! I nearly forgot . David bought me the thrid part of my ring... it's beautiful....

Failing my Drivers Road Test...

Well I got the courage to drive witha a stranger and have him Judge me... and because I didn't use my Emergency brake (every time we parked) (which I have never seen ANYONE do) I failed.

sigh I get to go again.


I'm also FINISHED for the Summer!!!
WOOT



Oh and I got Ruthie's Invite to her Wedding - it's beautiful.!!
