August 2006

		Check out this squirelly character. This guy showed up at the kitchen window a number of days in a row to lick the window. Even getting the "ever scary" Jake after him did not faze him. I guess he must have seen Jake jump and figured he was in no danger.

Mary and friends came over to swim and . . . .



		Some lovely artwork.
		Silly kitty. Jake is having some fun with the railing.
And, of course, the annual marathon of button making for the Cosmos.
Welcome to Toronto, Agnes and Chris We had a Swiss Chalet feast to spend a couple of hours with Agnes and Chris on they way through Toronto.

Next, on our busy August, it was time for Dennis to be 30 YIKES
I was invited to a lovely party for Dennis and Christine's birthdays

	That was pretty good thinking, Jean. Have them at the same time and just one party per year.
		Winston takes it easy at the party













		A very very happy birthday to Dennis and Christine Keep on having fun every day

The time has come the car owner said to talk of no more repairs and gas prices. Yup. Time for the great white boat to be off to that Cruisin Beat in the sky.



Next: Visit the kids



	Finally! I get to meet Charlotte and say hello to Mommy and Daddy after such a long time.

			Ruby likes Charlotte


		I even get to hold her and say hello fo the very first time.
	Can't forget Cabot came to visit as well
		Steve will do the holding (acting very nicely as a baby chair) While Mommy feeds pretty Charlotte
	Daddy can be the bed.
	Finally Mommy gets a minute to have a bite.






		That's it. A lovely day with all of the wonderful children, babies and dogs comes to an end.
Time for a little Blue Jays break.
