   I think Irving is just a wee touch insecure about his job.

   A beautiful holiday Monday here although the beauty is spoiled since my younger daughter and son-in-law left for home this morning. They both have to work tomorrow and it is a 7 hour drive for them. House is way too quiet.

   Have a great Monday – even if it is not a holiday for you or even if you are back in school today like Lil.

   Trouble is with Cathy is it would not have been a slice of strawberry pie but the whole pie.

   Happy Sunday – especially for those getting a holiday on Monday (some Canadian provinces like here in Ontario).

   Like this is summerdog said – wrong candidate. Cathy, I wonder if Irving’s phone would like to go for a swim?

   Looking forward to a great weekend. My younger daughter and son-in-law are arriving later tonight for the long weekend. Doubt if we will get into the lake as it is going to be a cool, wet, weekend. Still, I am sure I will enjoy their company.

   Have a great weekend yourself.

   Somehow headphone splitters does not seem anywhere near as romantic as the other decades.

   It is a good day for A/C. lightenup got a temp fix to keep her cool and the tech just finished replacing the bad fan motor in ours. I suspect lighteup needs the A/C way more than we do as it is in the low 70’s and cloudy with showers today.

   I hope everyone has a nice cool (or hot if you prefer) day today.

   Yes we can get Generacs in Canada and there are a lot of them in the area. I found the Kohler generator to be a better fit for what I needed – plus it is quieter.

   I have seen this happen – people searching for a cell connection way out in the middle of nowhere. I will admit I was surprised on our tour of Scotland a few years ago that there was cell reception on top of a mountain on the Isle of Skye. Did not care as I was not carrying my cell phone that entire trip.

   Sorry to hear about your AC lightenup and I hope it can be fixed or replaced real soon. I know how it feels. Our house AC has been intermittent for two weeks now. Fortunately our temps are a lot lower than yours most days. A new fan motor should be here in a couple of days. This has been a bad year for equipment for me – the replacement for the gas fireplace in the basement, which died in March, finally arrived last week but without the ceramic bricks and blower. Not worried since I do not need it for another month or so. Also my standby generator died last week. Tech was here yesterday and declared it toast. It should be under warrantee but since it was never certified by a Kohler tech it may not be. Hopefully I can get a replacement within a couple of weeks as I do not like being without standby power.

   Of those 146 emails Irving got I would guess 145 are spam.

   Irving really does not understand the concept of ‘vacation’. Yes, in these times having a mobile device is almost a necessity for planning your days and making reservations but phones and tablets are a lot smaller. Having access to everything you should have left behind is not part of a vacation at all. Wendy Emlinger is right – if Cathy leaves to go sight-seeing Irving probably will not notice.

   Happy Tuesday!

   Yup, 2010 and 2021 look pretty much the same for pictures.

   I hope everyone is having a great weekend. Ours kind of ended this morning when my daughter, her fiancé, and their two dogs left for their home. House seems kind of empty now. Ah well, we had a great two days – the first on the beach and in the water, then sitting around the fire. Yesterday it rained all day so played some board games and watched Olympic highlights. Miss them already. Looking forward to next weekend when my younger daughter and her husband will be here.

    Add another vote of support for me – and I am a man. I doubt that Irving can pull this off next time though. Oh, he did not need the latest phone to do that either, his old one would have worked just fine.

    A day to celebrate today. My older daughter and her fiancé arrived last night. Then can only stay until Sunday but I will take every minute with them I can. Have not seen my daughter since last August and her fiancé for two years.

    Have a great day yourself.
