Nat and I broke into the sparklers.. notice nat's concentration on the circle! 

I got to ski again.. Oh how I love the feeling of everything involved in skiing.... The whole process is such a release.. even the falls are fun! 

Nat and I found hats in the cottage, that will be used to their full capacity when the RSP crew comes up for their annual visit...  

Nat and I took pictures on the dock while suntanning.. I put this up, because I mentioned earlier that the life was escaping from my eyes... That I felt as if they were dead... The life is comming back, slowly but shurely.. This picture froves that.. It's still not all there, but there's more life than there used to be, and I will take all the life I can get. 

I got to hand feed my little deer friend again.. Back for the 2nd year in a row.. He needs a name tho... Any good ideas? 

Noodles and I decided we needed an extention of our beach trip to fully recover.. so off to the cottage it was... We skiied, boated, hung out by the water, played with sparklers, got some board shorts, had a breakfast on a terrace, and chatted.. It was great and much needed... I LOVE that place.. IT brings you back to what's important, and what is definilty not... I think it's a place I'm gonna go to this summer as much as possible.

All four of the beach go'ers on the beach... 

After having a significant number of "daily problems" it was decided that a trip to the beach was necessary.. So Noodles, Dave, Patty and I embarked on a trip to the beach for the day.. It was exactly what was in order.. Filled with random strangers, who gave us gifts after posing for pictures at the gas station, to a full out game of "I never" at a beach side bar, to playing frisbee on the beach adn girls in Ugg boots!?!?! 

After having a significant number of "problems 

This picture was taken post party (the day after).. J, spent the entire day helping me recover from events past. I don't know if I've ever had such a selfless friend with whoom I can have so much fun. It was a day of beach, and football, and Ben and Jerry's ice cream, and Laguna Beach (which I swore I would never watch)!! I don't think there are many people as lucky as me to have a friend like J. Makes me wonder more than a few things.. Regardless, this is a pic of a pose he suggested I do.. Its goofy and fun, just like us! 

This is from later on at the house party.. I showed up with my tequila and a big jug of Sunny D. IT was a night of crazy phone calls to questionable companies, questionable decisions, and a couple steps back.. I had fun, but in the process probably didnt think as much as I probably should have... Having said that, this is a pic of me and my tennis buddy/good friend... obviously alcohol was in full force, as so demonstrated by the quality of this picture...  

J and I hung out at the beach/pier for the morning, before I had to jet off for shopping, tennis and a house party... I really like this picture because it shows the level of comfort we have together (if you knew me and him, you'd see the little mannerisms in this picture). there is anohter "set up" picture of the two of us in a similar pose, but this one is more candid.. more real.. I like real. 

J and I at the end of the long but fun Orillia trip! 

J and I went to Orillia for the day.. We went skiing (or at least I did), and to a little surf shop where I got a new neclace and green flip flops that I havent taken off since. We also went to the casino, where I read up on Craps, J scared a few people away from a black jack table (with his "bad luck") and then drove home..
