A Full House!
I looooooovve summer!!!! You just never know how full your house might actually get in the course of a weekend, and as far as I'm concerned, the more the merrier!
As most of you know, my cousin Dayle Baker has been boarding with us for the summer. It has been AWESOME having her here, even though she has been south of RD for most of the time.. hee hee... just teasting, D! On Wednesday, Dana, Dayle's brother, arrived and he is one hilarious boy! We have been laughing NON-STOP since he arrived and he keeps the conversation at the supper table very entertaining! And, last but not least, Edith Bennett, came in on the Greyhound last night. Edith is an old family friend from Halifax and it has been a blast having her here... too bad her stay is so short!
We had a hilarious episode last night picking up Edith... well, in hindsight it was funny! :o) We borrowed a friends 1972 Dodge truck to pick her up; making it there was fine, although we were nervous at how long it took to start it... :O However, LEAVING the bus station was a different story! Just before Edith's bus arrived, 2 young guys approached us to give them a boost... well, that was the first disaster! ha! The guys assured us they had all the tools, booster cables and the know-how to get the job done. So, Dayle went to start the truck and.... put the key in upside down! Well, we didn't know any different!! To make a long story short, The Husband had to come us and a good 1/2 hour later we were on our way! We did not have kind words for '72 Dodge on the way home.. ha! :D
Anywho, we are all having a great weekend so far... I love love love having a full house... it's what makes a house a home: being able to entertain, have over good friends to have good conversation and enjoy each other's company!
Hope you are all having a great weekend! What are your plans??
Cheerio!
Jess
