04/09: I'm Back

Posted by: The Agnew Family
Recently, I was told that I hadn't updated my blog in awhile so I thought I had better get at it.
Between being busy with life and working on my Newfoundland slide shows the blog got pushed aside. Life continues, but the slide shows are 75 percent complete so it's time to get the blog back on track.
Activities in the second half of July included a crochet tournament party at our backyard neighbours, several trips to another neighbour's cottage, geocaching plus a couple sets of company that stayed a couple days each. We had good visits with both sets of company.
The crochet tournament is serious business (not) --- the judge was on the course settling a dispute.
Proof I do manage to connect with the ball --- it just doesn't go where I want it to go.
Right after the trophy was handed out, the skies opened up and the rain came down. Luckily the barbecues were under cover.
We made it up to Rob and Ellen's cottage several times in July. During our visits, Ed helped to install counters in the kitchen, we took the ATVs for a ride, and my mom and brother came up with us just to visit. We had good weather except for the day my mom and brother came --- it was cold and rainy. Ed and Rob took the ATVs out while the rest of us went for a walk and played cards. We still had a good time even though the weather didn't co-operate.
Hooray!!!! for the beach!!!! Zaph finally got to do some swimming this summer.
Managed to be at the beach on a Tuesday when the car show happens. Looked like it was going to be good, then the sky opened up. Felt sorry for the people in a couple of the convertibles that didn't have tops.

another after shot. The kitchen looks amazing -- can't wait to see it after the back splash is up.
During one of our visits the sunset was amazing.
A friend of Ellen's has started a new business baking and selling dog treats. Ellen manned her friend's booth at the Sauble Beach flea market. I helped out while the boys finished working on the kitchen.
The area around Sauble Beach has a number ATV trails. The purple line shows where we rode. Rob's cottage neighbour rides a lot so he was our guide.
Some of the terrain we road on.
the ATVs.
A very interesting looking geocache.
I still say that Geocaching takes you to some pretty and some interesting places.
Another cache.
