You say Tomato and I say Tomato

Went for a run at lunch yesterday and came back to work looking like this cutie.
 
 
Well, actually, I really looked like this woman.  Man its humid these days.

 
I went for a long run on Saturday over the new bridge to Manotick.  I found my next home.  It is nessled in the trees on the river and convenient to the bridge.  I just need to find a very rich, very, very old guy to leave me lots of money :)  I found a great park that was filled with people playing in the splash area, having bbq's and just enjoying the day.  There were also ponies and a goat who had pool noodles on his horns.  I imagine this was so he wouldn't hurt the kids but he looked very funny.  I hope the ponies didn't laugh at him.


I spent Saturday evening creating this Super Pops (I know - what an exciting social life you have Sandra!).  These super pops are for my run team for this weekends Run for Men's Cancers.  In my books, everyone is a super hero for joining the team.


Sunday was another lovely day so J and I got on our bikes and went back over the bridge to Manotick.  We watched the boats and seadoos on the river and then had lunch on a bench beside this tiny little cemetery.  There are some very old stones and I'm glad to see that they made a nice fence for it in the park.

Thankful to the makers of saunas and that my gym has one so that I can warm up after a cold ride to work this morning.  (If my sauna had these chairs I'd never leave.)
Thankful that it is Thursday and there is only one more sleep until the end of the work week
Thankful to be having lunch with a friend tomorrow at the Scone Witch -  yum
Thankful that my legs hung in there for the entire uphill battle of getting downtown this morning And just because....

What do you think of this beautiful dress?  I bought this to wear to the wedding reception.  Your daughter only gets married once right!  A definite reason to put on a party dress.  Also a reason to hit the gym and work on those shoulders.

Happy Friday! Looks like it is going to be a fantabulous weather day…for a change.Get outside and enjoy it while it lasts.
