Summer Lovin'

Ahhhhh summer. Remember when you were a kid and the 2 months you had off school seemed like an eternity? I hate to say it but the summer of 2006 is almost over - where did it go???

In June I changed jobs. Well that is to say I've gone back to my old job again. Confused? I'm back working in downtown Toronto at the same place I started at when we first relocated to Southern Ontario in 1998. It was quite an easy transition and I'm glad to be back! Luigi is happy with the salary increase of course and Troy is happy for the car pooling buddy.

We spent the Canada Day weekend in Montreal, made a trip to Sudbury and had plenty of houseguests in July (a busy month!). Oh - and Brayden became a brother in July, which you'll know if you've read Jen's blog. He asked me to post a picture of Geran to show him off.



The first week of August was spent at Clear Lake just north of Huntsville where we've gone for 4 summers. We had beautiful weather and it was a nice break from the heat and humidity of the city.

Clear Lake - beautiful and serene

This one was worthy of printing and framing - thanks Penne!


The condo that Luigi and I purchased is coming along. The structure is about 4 stories high now - ours is on the ground floor facing the park. Yesterday we made a pilgramige to Pickering to have a look at tiles and cabinets. Man that is time consuming! Hard to imagine doing it for a 3,000 square foot house never mind a 550 square foot condo that we aren't even going to live in.
