Tugboat Beach

Pip on the legislature lawn with her “clean” camping face.

Went to the beach with my gals for a picnic lunch. A good thing too because Tugboat Beach (my favorite) is going to be closed for the next 3 days for triathlon activities. The water was so gorgeous today.

Painted again today–a wee bit. I like to edge myself gently into the whole process again because once I’m hooked, I’m a gonner.

Have a dinner invite next week for our family. A friend’s film just got selected for shorts at the international film festival in Montreal. It’s at his house so I hope we get to see his film “Kanadean”–about what it means to be a Canadian with international parents. Hey, all of us Canadians can relate to that. We’re nearly all products of first or second generation immigrants. Theresa, Kyran and dogs arrive tomorrow night for a short stop over.

I’ve been researching my Olde English Bulldogges and have found the Bulldogges of my dreams–new pups sooo cute. His web site was in French so I assumed Quebec. Alas, France. 1500 Euros a pup. That with the flight and taxes…not any time soon unless an unexpected trip to France happens in the next 6 months. Girls are wild tonight. Wrestle, wrestle, wrestle!!!

Loved the German movie “The Lives of Others.” Why oh why do people label fascism communism? It just isn’t! And Carl Marx would be horrified. I wonder sometimes if our family name of Mix wasn’t just Marx?
