Another Day In Paradise!

Janet turned 63 on Sunday.  Her knees agree!  Like all birthdays, this one was also ticker tape parade worthy!  The only thing out of the norm was that Briana and Ted came, which they orchestrated on their own.

 In hind sight, it might be baby steps as at least Phil remembered, unlike last year.  And on another good note, Janet barely turned the stove on all weekend!

Pizza Prima Strada for lunch!

Part of Janet's birthday was another card from the Watson Line of Fine Stationary and Cards!  Check it out!

As with all cards in this high quality range, there is a photo on the front, in the centre and one on the back!  Briana says that anyone who thinks it's easier to make a nice card at home than go to the store and purchase one is nuts!

This is Janet's newest, not good idea food item....homemade Onion Rings!  Too delicious!

They have "kind" of a healthy look, don't you think?

One of the neighbours who lives on Lulie stopped by to chat with Phil about some real estate.  Noodles, who has become completely shameless made short work of turning her into a BFF.

I'm off to a roaring start on baseball season.  Nineteen balls thus far and it's still only May!  The 19th one was hard work - I had to go in 7 or 8 times, bushwacking Holly which has many sharp pointy leaves to finally get.

Janet says I am so smart!  I never go in if I don't know for sure a ball is there.

Success was enjoyed!

Mrs. Spoil Sport tries to take them from me right away.  She says it's because she doesn't want me ingest the leather cover, not to mention the million little rolls of string inside.  We always take the good ones back to the park for a team to reuse.

 

Move over, Hawaii!  Poke Sushi has arrived at Janet and Phil's favourite sushi joint - Shizen Sushi!  Jimmy, sushi chef and super guy has been talking about doing it for some time and has now produced the goods!  Really, really delicious!  Janet says in case you don't know, Poke is a Hawaiian specialty which consists of chopping fresh, raw fish and mixing it together with a variety of ingredients such as sesame oil, shoyu, avocado, onions, etc, etc.  There are many, many variations.

Noodies old age is starting to catch up with her.  Sometimes, when Janet wants to take us for a walk, Noodles will get all leashed up but can't face going down the front steps and Janet is afraid she can't safely carry her down.  This is a new condition.  Ted helped carry her down the stairs twice this last weekend.

Also, her nose is really, really dry and is starting to crack.  Computer Whiz Janet did some research online and found a product to help.  This isn't the same product, but someone at A Pet's Life had special ordered this one and never picked it up, so now it's ours!
