MOLLY AND KITSU JUST HANGING OUT!
I thought this was such a good time to catch the two puddy tats together! Kitsu is from Tokyo and her name means "Comfortable"! We used to wear ukatas in our hotel rooms which were like cotton house coats and you could just lounge around in them! They were very "kitsu"! we were in Tokyo in 1983
We are having another wet day--not again! Last Tuesday I managed to get in my first game of golf and it was great to be out in the fresh air wildly swinging my club and the ball going wherever!! I wear my brace to help with the hernia.
Yesterday and the day before, we went to TimberMax and Schmidt's Greenhouses--my favourite time of year! I LOVE flowers! Must be my British blood!! It is like going into a candy store as far as I am concerned--all the colours and perfumes! I bought 4 hanging baskets for the front--1 fuschia with its bell-like flowers and 2 gorgeos peach coloured hanging begonias. Also a mixed spring bouquet with pink, blues and mauves in it--yum!! Margot is going to come over tomorrow and help plant some stuff and do some general weeding and tidying up. She is so fast and so good at it! I can't even bend down to fasten my shoelaces so it's lovely having a talented daughter-in-law who will help her crockety old mother-in-law!!! :-) Alan said he will come over and cut the grass soon as we have a great crop of dandelions!
Major work this year will be to rebuild the swim dock. We are going to have a work party and BarBQ and sleepover if necessary!! We'll wait until the lake warms up a bit more!
We watched "White Noise" the other night and I kept on waiting to be scared!! It just didn't, to me, come across as a scary movie, I felt it was relying too much on electronic noise effects and a rather lame premise. I get scared by movies like "Alien", ""The Ring" and " "The Vanishing". What do you think??
Sylvia phone today, it was great to hear from her! She is now 86! We went to Teachers' College together from 1969 to 1970--the tail end of the 60's era!! It's great having a friend that you can pick up with at any time and carry on talking as thought it were yesterday!
This year is the 150th anniversary of David Livingstone's discovery of the 100metre high waterfall on the Zambezi River-now known as Victoria Falls. It must be awesome to see it!
Victoria Falls and Zambia Enjoy!
Time to view my blog!!
Well, here are some pics--I hope--from C.J.'s birthday so keep your fingers crossed!
I think this just MAY have worked everyone! Aren't I getting a techno geek?!!!! :_)

Great post! 
Molly looks like a friendly cat, I can't wait to meet her.
I'm glad you got out for a game of golf! I hope you get lots in this year. I was going to go on Victoria Day, but we got rained out. So did the fireworks that night. 
I love going to the greenhouses every spring too! Must be my British heritage. 
I didn't think White Noise was scary either, and I usually get really scared at horror movies. I agree that they just relied on loud music to try and make you jump and the premise was stupid.
Say hello to Sylvia next time you talk to her for me!
Those are some gorgeous waterfalls! I'm only an hour away from Niagra Falls here, so I'll have to go see them again this summer.

Kitsu and Molly remind me of Jasper and Lily when they're lounging around.
I look forward to having a round of golf with you this summer mom. 
Flowers and the smell of summer.....relaxing.
White Noise wasn't scary, just a little disturbing.
Wow, Sylvia's 86? Does she have a computer so you can e-mail her?
Your link to Victoria Falls is absolutely stunning mom.
Great find.
btw, that's a very nice pic of you and dad.
And....it's true....fresh of the press...you and dad are techo geeks.
