New addition to our Front Porch......

For Father's Day, our son and family, bought him an "Adirondack" chair for the front porch.  As you can see it is a Football/Soccer themed one, in honour of the 2026 world cup.  It's made of a super heavy duty plastic and weighs a ton!!!  Which doesn't make me as worried to leave it on the front porch and someone walking away with it.

As we liked it, son suggested he would buy us a matching Canada one, as our Christmas gift.  We said yes and it arrived a couple of weeks ago.

I generally find these Adirondack/Muskoka chairs uncomfortable; however these ones are not as far back and the legs suit my shorter legs....LOL

They are Canadian made and very unique.

Short and sweet.........

Happy Father's Day to all the Father's out there:

We are very lucky parents......

This is what we got as a joint Mother/Father's Day present off the kids:





 Now to be fair we got a great deal on it. It should have been $500 and we got it for $200 + taxes.  So thank you to our generous children for buying it for us.


This was what I had left after the garage sale last weekend:




 
 I donated everything to the church garage sale.


It's been another busy weekend, we got a few things accomplished in the garden though, so that is good.  Got a list a mile long though of things I need to do this week so lets hope we have good weather.  Are you going to be busy this week?

Happy Father's Day to all those dad's out there.

We celebrated Father's Day on Saturday, as dd (dear daughter) boyfriend has to work on a Sunday. His weekend is Friday and Saturday. Ds (dear son) came down for the weekend, and my dad and step-mum came over as well. Ds and dd boyfriend barbecued for me, and they lucked out as the rain stopped while they barbecued.

It was a pretty miserable day as far as the weather went, as it poured down all day and it was pretty humid at times, a taster of what's to come this coming week, when the temperatures will be hitting the high 30's with the humidity. It will also be a tester for me, as we don't have central air, so I wonder how I will manage?

Anyhow back to Father's Day, we gave my dad money. I gave dh (dear husband) a chainsaw, ds gave him a wrecking bar (please don't ask me to describe that thing?), 7 cans of Strongbow cider, should have been 8 but he drank one....LOL Dd bought him a bathroom reader (a book of quotes to read while sitting on the loo) and an LCBO (liqour store) gift certificate, so all in all dh did very well.

I had a taste of one of the Strongbow ciders, but must say I prefer Woodpecker cider, as its sweeter. I don't drink alcohol, but I wouldn't mind trying a shandy again, as its years since I have had one. I don't like beer normally as its not sweet enough for me.

Now it won't be a complete day of rest for dh on Father's Day, as we are going to do a little bit of yard work, plus we need to make a trip to Home Depot in the afternoon. One of our goals this week is to make some sort of stand thingy (don't know what the correct word is) for the logs, as I want to get the wood ordered and delivered for winter this next week. So we need to get the materials to make that.

We bought a cheap shop vac on Saturday so we can vacuum all the blown in insulation out of the attic. That may seem a bit extravagant buying that, but that is going to be one heck of an icky job removing that from the attic. I am hoping to get the rest of the insulation bats removed through the week, I'll go up first thing in a morning before it gets too hot.

So a Happy Father's Day to all you dad's out there, I hope you have a lovely day.
