Frozen Chicken Halal (Ceccon Export E Import Repres. Ltda, Brazil)
This is kind of funny...I started off on a link to sellers of shoes and went to a Brazil site, and before you know it, I found a supplier of Sandles and Frozen chicken. Isn't there something odd about that combination?
The other sites I came across, specialized in selling used clothing. One company won an award for the highest amount of trade in used clothing, auto parts, tires etc...to Africa of all places...and they netted over five million dollars last year!
Another company, from British Columbia, that employs five people, netted over a million selling those charms or dibets, that go into the holes of holey shoes... I think I am in the wrong industry...
To be truthful, I heard that the used clothing industry is huge, so huge that there is no way of tracking how much used product is being sent out of Canada. So when you take your old duds to the thrift store, beware of which one, as someone is making a lot of dough from you and me!

Hot Howdy

Today and the next few days will be a test of your heat tolerance ability. It was a scorcher today in Nelson, but is expected to rise to 40* both tomorrow and Friday. Chris bought another fan and extended the ducting on the little air conditioner that he brought from home. We kept the lights turned off for most of the day and all in all, people were walking in and saying that it was cooler in the store. The temp eventually rose to 82*, but that is 3* less than the day before ,when it topped 85* by five o'clock.. I suspect that air conditioning will be a pipe dream for us, but in the meantime, the current solution is temporarily working. ...especially if I am at the back of the store, where it si the coolest. We'll see how things go...
something to remove the humidity would be the ideal answer.

So lots of things are happening. In fact, the days are breezing by so quickly that before I know it, we'll be heading down to Vegas for C's big 4-0 birthday. I can't wait! So many of us will be there, that it will be a blast. In the meantime, we are still looking to book a flight out to the Grand Canyon...just can't decide on the right one. Sonia is the senior researcher in that department, so I am counting on her to come up with a great plan! I am getting excited!
I think Lynn is already packed!
It will be a fun time with so many of us there at once. Any recommendations for entertainment ? Let me know, tho I am a bit of a magic show junkie...but anything will do...just a matter of getting out to do it.
So , has everyone joined up to Facebook now? It is the coolest way to connect with friends and relatives, and has an easy upload for photos...makes blogger's system look like a snail. In fact, the whole facebook system works so well, that I might have to ditch the blog in favour of Facebook!
In any case, it has opened up a whole world of reconnected friends...especially for my daughters.
The people I look for , have dropped off the face of the earth. One good thing to do, is to add your maiden name to your name for ease of people finding you.

Other happenings, include dinner at our house for the Chris and Carolyne and family on Friday.
I am working on a peach desert, my friend told me about.

I am off Friday, and then I will work for Patricia on Saturday instead. On Sunday, Emil wants to try out his new Kicker motor, so maybe we'll take the boat for a spin.

Now my raspberries are starting to ripen,s o it will be raspberry heaven in the days to come. I weeded out a bunch of nettles out of the raspberries tonight. Just to make picking a little easier.

Then there is a surprise event on the 28th, and then Sonia will be here with the kids(and pooch) and it will be "Look-out Vegas Baby!"

Okey dokey...bedtime has come and gone...so I am heading to bed.
Parden me if I slow down on the blogging. Summer is always busy, so my posts will be sporadic... Check facebook to see my minute by minute updates..ha-ha!

Happy Everything....


Of course,each time you upload these photos, they wind up in total reverse order...So "Happy Greg and Sue",
Sonia's school friends ( and Sue is her co-worker). They gave us a call Sunday morning to say they were on their way from the BC girls' softball game in Salmo, where their neice played ball for the past few days. They pulled in their trailor and parked overnight. We had a fun time on the beach, drinking a few Carona's while we sat in the lawn chairs that were parked in the lake. Everyone, but emil went for a swim ( tho he had his feet in) and Sue and Greg's kids built sandcastles and played with the "Beamo" on the beach and in the water.

Sue and her son, Carson... the nicest 10 year old little guy that I have ever met!

Their daughter "Becka"

Emil showing Carson how to light it up with one match! First fire in the year. Good thing Emil shoveled out the firepit,earlier in the day! Sue brought the S'more makins, so we dined on those for desert!


A nice pic of Pete at Bill's memorial dinner on Saturday. We had a beautiful meal and had a good chance to reminice about Bill. The sorry thing was that Bill never once had this many people over for a big BBQ...especially when it included all of HIS family.

Happy Emil! Oh yes, Happy Birthday to John...his was the big 07/07/07.
Just think, Morgan's will be 08/08/08, next year! All of those eights are supposed to be pretty lucky!

Some of the gang at Bill's on Saturday. That is Bill's son Arnie, with his arm up, and next to him in the lime shirt is his sister Debbie and her daughter.

Arnie just showing me that actually, he is cooking nothing.

But here is what he did cook,after he did the steaks...Yum-Me!



Happy Birthday to Francoise...my long time friend!

Happy Kendra adn Virginia!

Kendra giving me the big boo-ya!

Happy Birthday to Emil...Kendra helping to blow out his candles

Don't ask what happened to the sides of the cake. Lets just day that Pudding put into the middle of the cake, doesn't really hold firm in the middle. It just squeezed out and rendered the icing useless as far as sticking to the cake..hence the big smounch on the sides...Oh well, it tasted pretty good!
