Only 6 more sleeps

Only six more sleeps until I get my new dog. I am so vey excited. His name is Desoto and he is a 1.5 year old Douge de Bordeaux. For any of you that have seen the movie "Turner and Hooch", he is the same breed as Hooch. I have to drive to St. Stephen, NB to pick him up next Friday and I cannot wait. The breeder, Paula Grant, of Grant Bordeaux - here is their website -Grant Bordeaux
has been so helpful with getting the dog and I just cannot wait to bring him home. Wiggy, the cat, may not be so overjoyed.
I will post some pictures as soon as I bring him home.

I am so very glad that its Friday and I get to leave my very warm office and sit on the deck with a very large glass of red wine.

Have a great weekend.

Its not the heat....

Come on, you know the rest of the saying - it's the humidity! Thank goodness the sun is finally out here in PEI. It has been raining and cold since I got back from my trip, but the sun has finally come out and summer is here. I love summer. I love the heat. I even, well maybe not love, but tolerate the humidity, as long as I am at the beach. Working on the 4th floor of a non air-conditioned building sucks. I keep waiting for TPTB to send us home since it is clearly too hot to work. So far, still waiting. Cruel and unusual punishment. Don't they realize that I haven't been to the beach once this year!

Photos from my trip

I just recently returned from a trip to South Africa. My friend Christine and I took 3 weeks and toured around. We flew into Cape Town, then rented a car and drove along the coast, eventually flying out of Johannesburg. What a great trip. I have posted a bunch of pictures and will be posting more later.
