Backlog blog

I'm back! I have been absent for awhile now, mostly because I had to wipe my hard drive clean which meant I lost all my pictures too. Then a few weeks ago, I had to take the computer back in and got a whole new hard drive (which means I lost my pictures AGAIN). Thanks to my husband, I can update everyone using his computer.

Back in April, we went to a housewarming party for our friends, Bill and Colleen (and Daisy the dog). They bought a beautiful new condo out in Langley, BC. As you can tell, it was a quite a fun party. I love going to Bill's parties because he makes some of the best fresh salsa and guacamole I have ever had. They also showed off their new rio5 and spectra cars from Kia too. I am very happy for them and I can't wait for the wedding in the Dominican Republic!!! Woohoo!

I've also been walking more and taking pictures of all the spring blooms. Its nice to see fresh blooming flowers and trees in front of all the condos and churches in our neighborhood. Louise the pug likes sniffing at them too. The above picture is only a small sample of the different flowering plants in my area.

For May 5th, or Cinco De Mayo, we had a lovely feast of nachos, Sangria, tacos, and flan. I am trying to cook lots of different foods lately too.
I made this udon soup for lunch one day which was way too much for one person. It was tasty though! Next, I will try making ramen from scratch. Stay tuned!
May 6th 2007, Vernon "Grampy" Sweeney, past away at the age of 83. We all will remember him fondly. My husband had to go back to Halifax, NS for the funeral. So, to cheer up the dog and myself, we decided to take walks down by the ocean and Fraser river since we couldn't go back to the Atlantic ocean and pay our respects.

When David (my husband) returned, we decided to all go to the river for a walk with the dog. As, you can see, she had lots of fun and met some new dogs too. To see more, you can just head over to Louise's blog.

Louise and I also ran into one of the local neighborhood skunks one night. Thankfully, we were not sprayed, but the skunk didn't appreciate Louise's excessive barking. Click on the above pictures to get a better look at the skunk. It was kind enough to let me take these pictures from 10 ft away.
Well, that gets everyone up to date somewhat. I will post soon, as I am having lots of adventures over the long May weekend holiday here. Hopefully, I can get a new computer soon so I am not keeping my husband from posting on his own blogs. Anyone want a G4 ibook laptop computer?
