2005: Summer in the City (that rhymes with a female body part)

Despite a CBC shut-out the Summer Games were a success; despite a City Strike, life still managed to go on without busses and not very consistent public service or garbage disposal...
Although we rarely saw a city worker without a sandwich board or a picket, we saw this little guy a lot - hopefully he's digging a nice drainage ditch under under our garage to improve the spring drainage! He seems to work for peanuts and the ocassional slice of apple!
Rob came down from Edmonton to visit with us... Here he is in their backyard. Malcolm and Sandi went down to the Grand Canyon with Doris and Ward later on in the summer.

Chris came by mom and dad's and made SUSHI... Or something like Sushi that I can't pronounce. It was the same servings only cooked and reeeeally delicious. Served plain or with WASABI in very small quantities!!! Rice, shrimp, clams, nuts, chicken or other assortments; all wrapped in seaweed. Here he is wrapping some with bamboo. After you wrap, you slice and then, voila: small and round bite-sized and delectible.


Here are David and I in back of the big hill near Douglas Park. Just behind us is Wascana Lake, and you can see the Saskatchewan Science Centre over to the left in Holly's picture. In the background you can see the city skyline.


Steve Fearns came in and David worked at the Exhibition grounds this summer... They sold Glue - good stuff: sticks to anything, dries immediately without the solvents and has staying power: yet if you get it on your skin it safely comes off if you soak it/wash it long enough in hot soapy water.

Snifter (mom and dad's dog) visiting with David at our house. He's a Shi-tzu and we tend to think of him as an idiot sauvant! Posted by Picasa
