Warm and Hanging

Here is the gallery.

We drive all the way out to Fortinos in Woodbridge as they are the only ones that carry Italian Ice, that I know of. I get the rainbow, lemon and orange. The rest are awful - incase you like Italian Ice too. It is a drive and wish we had one closer to us.

I also had to go to Deboers to get a battery for my clipper. My old battery lasts about 10 to 15 minutes - not enough time. They don't make these particular clippers anymore so when this battery goes, I am told I need to buy a new clipper. Not sure why the batteries will no longer be made. Like anything, they want you to buy new but when it works - well why?

We had dogs come and go today. They so enjoy hanging outdoors with Dennis. The weather is warm but not hot. It is enjoyable. Those that don't want to go outside at a given time find Nathan and the tv room comfie. I have dogs that I rotate out in the room the pusp in so I can comb them out, check bums, ears etc

We have been going to bed earlier lately. The dogs don't mind and its only a half hour earlier. I am sure some dogs know the time but others don't. But last night Ziggy jumped in the pool - yes jumped so I had to rinse and dry him putting me way past my normal bedtime. He best not do it tonight. LOL If he had fallen in, I get it but he JUMPED in. I guess I should celebrate another dog jumping in but not just before bed. Let's see if he does it tonight. What are the chances? Yes, I am so laughing!

Lots of places carry Italian Gelato, I'm talking about the small shops, bakeries, etc. Is that the same as Italian ices? I grew up on St Claire Ave, very Italian at that time so I know good Gelato, ie lemon, banana, pistachio, spumoni.
If you are desperate for Gelato I could get you some, as well as some for myself!

Gelato is custard base. Italian ice is flavoured ice. I guess I should buy a snowcone machine and make my own. LOL
