Day 5 of July

  I've got friends in low places........no this wasn't a dig at my BFF's.  It means we are going to Garth Brooks.  Short version of a long story.  Bill came home last week from work and we were sitting around the dinner table; Bill, myself, Ashley and Ethan (Patrick's substitute) I think the daughter was talking about getting grandstand tickets and Bill made a comment that he turned down Garth Brooks tickets.   I looked at him and told him to stop teasing, and of course he made that face that tells us he was teasing.  I told him I knew he was teasing because there is no way he would have turned down Garth Brooks tickets when he knows what a big fan I am.  I had told him when the tickets first went on sale, that I wouldn't pay for tickets to this show because we had just seen him in Vegas.  And I didn't want him to call in any favors for tickets, again, because we had just seen him in Vegas.  But if he were offered tickets, I would love to go and see Garth again.  So yesterday, after work, guess who comes home with Garth Brooks tickets?  And it looks like we have great seats.  I am a very spoiled lady.  I guess I will be going down to the grounds this year.  Remind me to get my black cowboy boots back from Ashley.
  While I was camping last weekend, I had received an email from Patrick.  It basically went something like this:  Still safe, and having the time of my life!  He didn't sign it with our code name, so I'm hoping it was him (hahaha)
  Also I mentioned that  I sent a note to the owner/company of Lundbreck Falls to mention my dismay about not being able to put up tents in the regular camping area.  Well yesterday I received a reply from the company:

hello. thank you for your email in reguards to tenting at lundbreck falls. you are correct, you can have a tent on any site as long as it is registered. i will be meeting with our manager to clear this issue up.this person is new and he is mistaken on this regulation

In hind sight I'm wondering if I should have mentioned the inappropriate comments from the caretaker.  My concern was that I had paid for the campsite with my cheque, which has my address and the last thing I want to do is tick off a creepy guy who knows where I live!!!!!

It was another beautiful day yesterday.  It is hot, hot, hot, but I'm not complaining - I'll take this over the cold, winter days any time.  And when I looked out into the back yard this morning, I have roses blooming all over the place, and my peonies are starting to bloom.

Unfortunately I still have the ant problem by our back window.  Before I left for camping, I put out corn meal.  I think it was my sister in law who mentioned if you put out oatmeal, the ants eat it, the oaatmeal expands in their tummy and they die.  Humane - their ants, I'm not feeling too my anguish.  Although the oatmeal didn't work, so yesterday when I stopped at Co op I picked up these little ant traps.  It says they are supposed to be used inside, but I secured them in amongst those tiny workers.  I sat and watched then ants last night, and there were so may and they were moving so fast, all I could think of was the movie Ants or Bug's Life.  Really, it was a scene out of the movie.

Anyway the treadmill isn't going to start itself, so I better get a move on.
Enjoy your tuesday.
