Just trying this out
Have a blog on msn spaces; but in looking at other blogs on this site, it seems that they have more to offer. This remains to be seen.

July Is Here
Well July is here. Yesterday we went to watch the parade in town. Didn't upload any of the photos to the albums online as they were not very good. Camera batteries were low, so by the time it took the picture the float was halfway out of the picture. Wonderful. After the parade we watched some of the entertainment that was going on, strong man competitions, fur trader competitions(which we couldn't really figure out) and some live bands on the refurbished outdoor stage. It is Albertas centennial this year also,so everyone was given buttons and a copy of the centennial song.
Today we decided to chance the weather and went out to Stoney Lake, which is about 15 miles from us, we wandered around a bit; but as there is not much of a beach there, we decided to head off in the other direction. We ended up at Whitney Lake which is about 15 miles in the other direction. Nice sandy beach, we walked along the shore around the lake for about 1/2 mile and watching the clouds decided it was time to turn around. You can walk around the whole lake almost on the nice sandy shore. Posted some pictures on the webshots album of the lake. We also kept getting "dive bombed" by some type of gull, who must have decided that we were too close to their nest. The wild "tiger" lilies are all in bloom right now and because of all the rain we've had the ditches are full of them. The countryside is lush and beautiful this year. We just made it home before it started to rain again. This evening it poured again for awhile.
Oh yes, the grad photos were taken on the 30th so that is done with, now I can slack off abit on the yard!!
We will be dogsitting for the next week(starting tomorrow) so that should be interesting, 3 dogs!!! Speaking of dogs, our German Shepherd, who is totally petrified of thunder, did the funniest thing the other night. We had an amazing thunder and lightning storm on Thursday night. Of course she was in the house, she had disapeared and I never thought too much about it, as she tends to hide out wherever she can. Well, I went into the washroom and there she was totally laying flat out in the Bathtub!!! What a sight, we had a good laugh over that. She stayed there all night,wouldn't budge!!!! Think she was a little stiff in the morning though.
Well that's it for now.
