It's been way over a year since I sat down and wrote. Too much has happened to be able to write it all out. And to be honest, I'm not really interested in writing about past events. So, currently, I log in to this old blog, only to find that my lovely background that I slaved over to create and include (that's an overexaggeration but hey) has been "removed or deleted by Photobucket"? Ok, I say, I'll just choose a regular template until I can find some time and modify according to my liking. No problem. Wrong. This girl has completely forgotten her HTML language. I actually got really good at making changes, moving this and that, adding such and such...that's all gone. Poof out the windy.
Oh well, I'll just change it to a simple template, one I don't have to think about. Yay, it worked...sort of. Now it's pretty in pink with lovely shadow birds flying off to far places...but my watermark stamp letting me know that the image I once had, is no longer available is STILL THERE...taunting me.
So I read the HTML lingo and try desperatly to find the location of that image to remove it...can't. Being the way I am, I want to run to the nearest Chapters and buy a book on HTML language or research online for a "how-to" video on writing a blog in techie speak.
However, I decide to write out my frustration and go from there.
It's been a lovely summer. (Topic change make me feel like I'm in control.) The backyard has seen a makeover with tree branches cut down, bushes receiving a complete overhaul, plants being moved around and of course a beautiful pergola and cedar deck extension on the existing one. New "conversation piece", fish in the pond, (see my fish entry on
Emmalicious), a firepit and just lovely lovely peace.
I've found a new favourite drink - Vodka Gimlet...who knew lime and vodka was so fantastic, shaken with sugar and ice...oh my.
Simon found our fridge packed with fresh limes and wondered what the heck was for supper one day. 24 limes take up a lot of space. (They were on sale!!)
It's almost September...cooler evenings mean sleeping is easier. Love it.
Almost September means my dad is visiting...I'm sure there will be a post about that...along with my sister's wedding.
So long for now.
