this morning i opened the big freezer in the kitchen and found the phone book on the top shelf.<\/p>\n

THE PHONE BOOK.<\/p>\n

of course i put it there; i distinctly remember that it was lying on the floor for a day or so and i kept thinking, “why do i have to pick up that stupid phone book?”\u00a0 I almost definitely the one who dropped it there to begin with; there’s all kinds of other stuff on top of that freezer stuck back in the corner, and sometimes if i reach waaaay up there to pull something down or put it back, stuff falls.<\/p>\n

you can see, though, the BRAIN CELLS QUICKLY DISAPPEARING…pop! there goes another one! because for some reason in my addled state i put the phonebook neatly on the freezer top shelf.<\/p>\n

it’s well-preserved now.\u00a0 also well-chilled.<\/p>\n

amy told me that after getting ice cream out of the freezer she then put it back in the fridge and it melted of course, but she re-froze it and ate it anyway.\u00a0 at least it was a food item, is all i have to say.<\/p>\n

i can’t believe i forgot to post this photo of erica winning a PRIZE at the sound of music sing-along which we attended a couple weekends ago.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

i would give you three guesses, but you will never guess her costume…she was captain von trapp’s whistle.<\/p>\n

yes she was.<\/p>\n

when they called the people in costume up to the stage (and there weren’t very many people in costume), johnny molson, the MC, made a beeline for her, because of course she had that beer box covered with foil on her head.\u00a0 and of course she got a t-shirt!\u00a0 mostly adults were dressed up, mostly female, mostly wearing drindel skirtz, boooooring.\u00a0 but not my friend erica, she was much more creative.<\/p>\n

a little kid dressed as a brown paper package and his sister with a big paper snowflake pasted on her face also got t-shirts.<\/p>\n

johnny was also handing out suckers but for some reason he wouldn’t give erica one.\u00a0 i think he thought he’d run out before giving them to the kids, but he had plenty, and then started giving them to the adults but erica missed out entirely.<\/p>\n

she was jubilant nonetheless.\u00a0 a good time was had by all.<\/p>\n

here is numie when i babysat him the other day.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

chester, doing his chewing paddy-pawing thing.\u00a0 we never tire of him doing that.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

last evening i was outside and saw this lone gull sitting on a buoy and it was vividly illuminated and the lake was so purple that i ran to get my camera.\u00a0 of course i couldn’t capture the strikingness of it, but this is the general idea.\u00a0 it was like a spotlight was pointed on the bird.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

i did manage to take a picture of the geese who were annoyed with me disturbing them in their yard, and flew down to the lake.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

i have to go find other things to put in the freezer now.<\/p>\n

ok then,<\/p>\n
