Furniture for our new home

The furniture buying spree for our new home has begun!

This past weekend we went to Idomo (I thought I'd never buy from that place!!!!) and picked up the most spectacular diningroom table, chairs, hutch and mirror that will sit on the hutch.

Plus we bought a coffee table that moonlights as a wine rack and storage container. You have to see it to believe it. It's awesome.

Aannnnndddddd we redeemed for some Rona Gift Certificates, which will go towards our new BBQ.

Soon friends and family can enjoy a fabulous steak/ribs/chicken a la George while sitting around a most wonderful table.

Can't wait.

This past weekend was spent camping with some friends at a provincial park on Lake Simcoe.

Despite the rain, we had a great time. Needless to say, there was a lot of beer and marshmellow consumption. And some shrimp. And chili. Who says camping has to be barbaric??

We tried taking a swim but that lasted about 2 minutes. It was freezing!!! Certainly sobered us up. Or was that the 3 hour nap?

Unfortunately we didn't take a hike like last year. Next time.

The dogs had a terrific time and were very well behaved. Even Lola, surprise surprise. We weren't sure how Cierra was going to react since this was her first camping trip but our worries were quickly eliminated. She never left our sides and was a joy to be around. Of course, both came home completely filthy.
