Happy summer

When I changed my living room drapes recently to lighten up I caused myself a design problem , the roman blind in this entry did not co-ordinate but clashed , I have wanted to change this blind for a while as it was becoming sun bleached and falling apart . I found the perfect bamboo blind for less than $30.00 at our Canadian Tire store , it only came in 24 inch wide and 36 inch wide , one was too small and 36 seemed too wide but I installed it on the outside of the frame and it turns out to work just fine in fact it makes the window appear a little large , which I like .
The garden is filling in so very nicely around this time of year , I am just waiting for my day lilies to start blooming . We will have to cut down this tree at the end of the season , it is very diseased with canker , we tried to cut it off but we were too late to save it , I had someone come take a look and he said enjoy it for a couple of more years then cut it down , its been a couple of years , we will miss it .





I love the wear and tear on this fence post topper it's just right .



Hope you are enjoying some wonderful summer weather .

Aloha from Sophie's 9th Birthday Party


My little sweetie sure was happy yesterday , she was practically a glow with excitement .

The ice cream cake turned out devine , it tasted just like a DQ cake , I haven't had one in so long .
The weather co-operated nicely with just a mere sprinkle or two not ruining our fun , the girls had some fun in the pool then we had some cake and sang happy birthday , they all raved about , phew!
Sophie and her friends all had a great time , this was taken after a swim , one of many swims , they did nails and ate lots of sweet treats and drank lots of pretty colored pops , watched movies and we even had sparklers just in time for a huge thunder storm to roll in .






We had a great stress free day , now this morning they got up too early for my liking but all was good , no not good, great!
