Back to work

Jen and I closed our store for 5 days so we could have much needed time off. I enjoyed tremendously my extended stay at the cottage last week. The 4th was hectic but the other days were very pleasant and enjoyable. I was able to read, uninterrupted, 2 books, listen to the birds, I even saw a humming bird, enjoy the weather, watch my Cavalier, Belvedere, learn to swim, (I am such a proud momma), wave to G Man from our deck while he motored by in the boat, and do nothing. In my lazy haze I managed to get to Starbucks twice. I found a nice salon in town and had a pedicure, so my feet look great in my flip flops.

Today is back to work. G Man stopped at Tim Hortons for coffee instead of Starbucks. The company, Tim Hortons, buys some of his products so he wanted to try their coffee. Eehh, not as good as Starbucks, but it will do in a pinch and I like to support companies that buy from G Man.

Lucy our yellow lab came back with us so G Man can take her to the vet this afternoon. I think she may have a yeast infection, ya know down there. Poor dog.

It was kinda weird coming home. We have been at the cottage for the last few weeks and have not been home much. Our son cleaned the house, so there wasn't any dog fur bunnies scattered across the floor and in the corners and the frig is empty. Newspapers were piled up outside and stacks of mail were 6 inches high on the table. It was quite. We are going to commute from the cottage to work for most of the summer, it's about a 40 minute drive each way. Not bad.

I have plans to work in the park like gardens in the front of the cottage for the summer and get them in order. Our lawn guy said he thinks there were rats ( I prefer to think of them as cute bunnies) nesting in some of the bushes so he pruned the bushes back and removed the lower branches. This should help get rid of the "rat" bunnies. Apparently rat bunnies like to nest in low growth bushes. So far the dogs have not been going crazy so perhaps the rats were long gone before we arrived or our lawn guy was teasing me.

I can hardly wait for 5 o'clock.
