Well I am up early again this morning and the sun is once again shining like crazy.  With coffee on the go, I quickly finish up the blog then get started on the pies.  I will have them done before John even gets out of bed!!
With the pies done (two for Gary and one for Shirley) I quickly did up some macaroni so that we could have a "cold" supper tonight.  Who is going to feel like cooking and eating something hot in this 32C heat?
I washed clothes today as it was was hot enough to have them dry out on the clothes line by the time the next  load was ready to hang!!
Gary came by for a quick visit.  He is more than pleased with the pies I have made for him.  I think I still have enough apples to make a few more!!  Dave stopped by while we were sitting with Gary.  He arrived on his quad with some garden refuse tied to the front rack.  He is on his way out to his deer stands with more bait and just wanted us to know he was going.  He said if he wasn't back in a couple of hours, to come looking for him.  It is always a good idea around here to give someone a heads up as to where you are going and when you are hoping to be back.  I see he carried his little "coach" gun with him - just in case he came across a "too friendly" bear!!
He was gone for nearly 2 hours and I had just asked John if his two hours were up when we heard him coming down the road.  He had squeaked in under the two hour time limit!!
Shirley arrived home from work shortly after Dave arrived so we all sat around in the shade and chatted about the day's activities.  Shirley is apparently off for the weekend so she is happy about that.  We will have to get out on the quads or go fishing on her days off.
John found a fishing boat for sale on Kijiji and it is in Saskatoon so Jace will have to go take a look at it this weekend.  He discussed it with Dave who also saw it and was thinking of buying it himself!!  He said it looked like a good deal and thinks he had one just like it previously and he loved it.  It has a "wide" body which apparently makes it quite stable in the water.  It would be totally awesome to have a fishing boat up here and available for fishing the lakes around here.
