With all the excitement this weekend, I just didn’t have the time to post about my awesome package of candy!
Friday the postman brought my “Candyswap 2006” package. And boy was it sweet.

Andrea knew just what to pack to entice me to eat sweets. My faves, “Skittles”, were there in all their glory as were some “Slowpokes” (Neilson’s version of turtles…yummm), some “Lindor” chocolate, Pop Rocks, “Hot Tamales” and..
…some “Fear Factor” candy. Super Sweet Gummy Octopus in gummy sauce. I haven’t cracked that one open yet, I am still afraid 😉
The Candyswap was lots of fun and I look forward to doing it again next year!
Thank you Andrea!!
Blogger has been giving me trouble, but I am able to finally post. Wednesday we had a day of feet. We, being myself, my two Sisters, yes one of my Sisters is home from North Carolina so we are spending every moment possible together, and my Mom. My youngest Sister, the one visiting, and I took the longest withour feet. Scrubbing, shaping, softening and finally polishing.

“Back to the Beach Peach” was so irresistable in name that I had to make the purchase. Our feet were scrumptious. My other Sister had really hard callouses that were actually making it uncomfortable to walk. Had I known this a long time ago I would have pulled out the foot spa earlier. However, since she didn’t mention it she suffered along. After our foot spa we neede to go out, just to show off our toes! We headed to Bayshore with out sandal on, sans enfants!!! And ran around, up and down the stairs, it was almost heavenly… until we missed our little gaffers and headed home.
And what did we find? Two maestros playing a duet. Happy as can be twinkling the ivories for Grandma. Now, if only everyday could be as glorious.

We had the best ribs and pulled pork at the Rib & Chicken Cook-Off down on Sparks this weekend. Of course, I have been trying to get Hubby ( a rib lover) to go for years. Now that he works Downtown he finally understands why I love it so much. He had ribs for lunch on Thursday without me, so we had to go again on Sunday. It was so yummy, and we brought A who had pulled pork for breakfast (yes, he is truly a teen, slept in till noon!)
Here is one of my pictures from Friday, before the battery died. J loves fountains so this was the first one we visited. This fountain is located at the end of York Street. To the right is the US Embasy and the left is Stats Canada. I got the clock from Parliament in the background, which J loves, he is still singing the “Ding, Dong, Ding, Dong” song of the clock today.
I thought I would include a photo of me, yes, I am slouching, but A took my photo at the Cook-Off and I couldn’t resist posting it. Most of the photos of my are taken by J in the wee hours of the morning, when I have just woken up. So I had to be thankful for a not so bad photo. And yes, that pulled pork was AWESOME. And it was soooo hot down there on Sunday, I am surprised that you couldn’t see the sweat around my hairline, but it was so worth it.
And finally J at the fountain. I think I am going to make it a thing this summer to take J to as many fountains as I can. I know of a few more around town that we could go check out so it might be a fun project to work on. It would be a fun summer photo essay of J and the fountains.
*If anyone knows how to post a slideshow on blogger without using flicker, I would be forever grateful for the instructions 🙂
***Edited for Dani!! I knew that the fountain was in front of Revenue Canada, but somehow when I typed it, I thought Stats. And we did think of you when we were there!! Appologies.
