So this week could not have passed any slower. A few weeks ago I had made plans to go to the Elixir on Thursday May 19th to see Chris Koster open for the Golden Dogs. I had made a date with my friend Grigg, and due to the fact that freaky things always happen to him, I assumed I would be going alone. How delighted I was to see Grigg's smiling face that night!
So here is Chris Koster, his drummer Cloin (Colin)and his Basist Scott.
Here is Chris using his guitar as a shooting device:
And this is the Golden Dogs from Toronto. Its funny, I will never forget the first time I heard the Dogs; it was last June at the Grad Club. The stage was so small, the basist had to stand on an amp in order to play:)
Here is a picture of the ever entertaining Jessica:
My favourite Golden Dogs song YEAH!!!!
Suffice to say, Friday was a very looooong day for me. 3 hours sleep is hard on this old body, but I was fortunate enough to get off work fairly early and came home for a nap before we went for dinner.
After we ate, we visited Harly's place but he wasn't home. A bunch of the Amherstview boys were there waiting in the driveway, wondering where the garage-owner was. Due to the fact that we didn't have a key to get in, and there was work to be done on a boat motor, we asked Tony the neighbour to let us in. Of course I was the only girl there, so I had to take some pictures. Here is one of Harly's tractor with the new stickers on it.
We found out afterwards that Harly had been out depleting the comerant population & that our friend Jim had dislocated his shoulder when he fell through his garage roof earlier that day. Perhaps our plans for a weekend at Jim and Brenda's cottage was out of the picture. The phone ran around 8am on Saturday to tell us that the trip to the island was still on. Jim's arm was in a sling, however, he could still perform a few cottage-opening tasks, so the weekend was not a total loss. I believe the real reason was that the 600lb harvest table that Jim built for the dining room at the cottage had to be moved from their house to the truck and from the truck, into the cottage. I was actually surprised how quickly that whole process happened. And how well the table went with the rooms decor!!! It's a beautiful addition to place! Check it out:
naturally we had to test out the new table by playing multiple games of euchre and crib on it to see how well the cards would slide across its surface! Here is a picture of Brenda, myself and Jim's dad Bill playing crib. Suffice to say, Brenda and I beat him at both games!
Isn't it a beautiful piece of furniture?
My friend Judy likes to pretend she is a rock star:
And finally, here is a picture of Trina and Shelley providing the evenings entertainment:
Today we are half-ass planning on putting the boat in the water...depending on the weather, of course. Keep your fingers crossed for the sun to make a guest appearance!
