Adventures in JanetLand!

Oak Bay Avenue has been a full on circus for more than a week.  They are paving, but not the whole street.  The traffic and hold ups are huge!  Janet took me for a big walk the other day and this is a small sample of the vehicles involved in the process.


This is Janet's fancy pants slow cooker.  She has used it 3 times in the last two weeks.  Most recent was baked beans with ground beef and bacon.
Yay!  Shirley has borrowed Phil's electric car to take a driver's license test(s)!  Third time was the charm and Shirley was super happy!  We think Frank was even happier!
Remember how I told you Noodles doesn't mind the vacuum?  Lucky for her she is really old because Janet didn't want to make her move, but instead vacuumed all around and Noodles never batted an eye!
In Victoria, it has been our version of super hot - 29F.  We have not had any significant amount of rain for at least a month.  Check out how many people flock to the beach closest to our house - Willows Beach.  We are so lucky as this beach is 2 1/2 blocks from our house.  Janet says we are super lucky to live where we do - Willows Beach, Bowker Creek, Oak Bay Village.  We agree!
Check out that really blue sky!
Janet had some leftover steak and turned it into Steak Salad with Chipotle Dressing.  She has not made Steak Salad before and they really enjoyed.  She doesn't want to turn the stove on!



This is how I sleep when it's super hot out:
And how about those Adventures in JanetLand?

On the right is map to all the shops in the Fabric 'hood!
Karen made a quilt for Toyoko (Toshio's wife) and wanted to take it to Tokyo.  Some investigation revealed that Toyoko is not well and is not expected to live for a whole lot longer.  End result - Very spur of the moment, Karen and Janet are going to Tokyo tomorrow.  We doggies don't know any of these people and haven't a clue where Tokyo is.  Janet will be gone one week and says she is worried about leaving Noodles as she is really old and creaky.

This might very well be the first pair of sandals EVER that Janet can wear all day.  She is super chuffed as she is sick of wearing runners 24/7.  The problem is Janet's feet are very narrow (the last remaining narrow part of her body, so a guy would think she would embrace it!).
She also bought some super cute clothes with asymmetric hem lines which Janet is a major sucker for!
