~ One Doobie ~
As in Doobie Brother... what did you think? LOL Last night we went to a free concert at Artpark. Every Tuesday and Wednesday they hold free concerts in the amphitheater. The amphitheater looks over the Niagara Gorge several mile past the actual Falls. Last night the featured artist was Michael McDonald. I've always loved his voice and last night was no different. The concert was awesome. On the drive out there we drove thru some heavy rains and really thought that we'd be getting wet, but luck was on our side. It sprinkled for a few minutes and then it cleared up.
Tonite I'm dragging my ass and I'm off to bed... but I wanted to do a quick entry. Hope everyone is doing well.

~ Answer Honestly ~
First a little bit of an explanation. Molson Canadian (pretty neat site by the way) is a beer. LOL It is pretty popular around here and several family members drink it. It's ok... it's a bit heavy for me but I find any full flavor beer is. Always fills me up. It's no fun drinking if you are full to the brim :) LMAO So anyway, they regularly do some fun things on the labels. Silly sayings, pick-up lines, and most recently answer honestly.
Recently while together with family members this label appeared on a bottle. We all laughed our asses off. So now, you took the time to stop in to see what this was all about, you're here, you've read, now leave a comment... you all know me... what do you think my answer is? Keep in mind I'm divorced, not dead! Ohhhhhhhhhhh and I'm also a huge hockey fan. 'Cmon... do it.... guess...... LMAO

~ Soothing ~
With the work week starting I thought I'd give you a bit of my weekend to start yours.... the lake was a bit rough... waves crashing on the shore... the breeze... the peaceful setting... soothing. Take a deep breath... maybe you can smell the fresh air.... relax... enjoy. Have a good Monday!

~ What!?!?! It's July 20th ~
Yeap, it is. Who said hockey is just a winter sport? LMAO Lots of things happen in the off season. Unrestricted agency starts on July 1 and General Managers go into some kind of morph mode and over pay players to get them on their team. The lock out was to get a collective bargaining agreement that would keep salaries in check and impose a salary cap. An entire year without hockey only to see the cap continue to rise and the salaries follow suit. Bidding wars, the highest bidder gets the player. It matters not what happens to the rest of the team.............. or the rest of the league at this point. The cap is right around $56 million for the upcoming season. They did impose a floor too, $40 million. The object was to keep things competitive. Not so says some cities.... there are teams that are as much as $27 million away from reaching the minimum. OUCH!!! My boys are doing pretty good I have to say :) We are about $9 million below the cap and right around the self imposed cap the front office told us they would follow. It's ludicrous to just keep spending. Sure we'd all love that number one player on our team, but at what cost? Ticket price increase? I don't think so!
On Friday the front office announced locking up Ryan Miller for a six year extension. Wuuuuuu Huuuuuu After next season he will be earning about $6.25 million a year. One of the top paid goalies. Top goalie? I'd say above average, but not sure about top 10. Last year was not a good year. Lots of changes in the line up in the off season. On the way back to Buffalo after their first game Ryan found out his cousin had passed away from cancer. One of the reasons he started The Steadfast Foundation. I'm hoping that was a fluky year and the previous two are more his game... more the teams game.
It was whispered that Ryan wouldn't sign, but rather wait until the end of next year and test the market. Get involved in that bidding war process, get way overpaid, and most likely go to Detroit, his hometown. I inserted the audio version of his interview shortly after the signing. Hardly seems that is what he was thinking!
I am stoked he is signed, and looking forward to the front office getting Pommer's extended as well. That would make me happy. Really happy! I'd still like a stud defensemen, but signing Rivot for the blueline will be a good addition. Now... when does the season start?!?!?! I need a hockey fix!

~ The View ~
.... and I am not referring to the talk show :) As I said last night, it was pretty hazy at the lake yesterday. That, however, did not stop my nieces from sitting on the ledge and looking out at the water. Listening to the waves lap the shore, see some folks swimming and playing, watching the boats and jet ski's go by. Deep in thought, in conversation. I wonder what those whispers would reveal. The view is beautiful and the smell fabulous.......
Talking about beautiful.... my sisters girls. Still sitting on the ledge but me at a different angle. A huge water float behind them. The one on the left will be the beautiful bride come October and her sister the 'Maid of Honor'.... what an honor it will be.
Before dinner some went swimming, some took a walk on the beach. The most interesting.... and the one that I have permission to post... this little guy playing... running and trying to beat the waves as they crashed.
I found these gorgeous flowers off at the edge of the beach. I have no idea what they are, but it's a perfect backdrop for those bonfires on the beach. I played around a bit and added texture for a different effect.
Dinner was served and eaten under two huge trees. Out of the little sun we had and a nice breeze. It was perfect... for without that breeze we'd have all been in the water! Our host made the biggest pot of chicken cacciatore and pasta. I brought a huge chef salad and bread to accompany... As we ate the rain came. It was a light drizzle that could only be felt if you walked away from the tables. The massive limbs of the trees adorned with huge leaves protected us. We finished eating and cleared the tables. Just in the nick of time too! As the rain came a bit harder we packed up our outdoor chairs and bags and headed to her back room. The entire back of the house is an enclosed porch with windows on all three sides. We sat and had desserts, yes plural, and coffee. The rain splashed the windows and rolled endlessly down the glass. Safe inside we could see the waves get a little larger and the horizon turn dark.
The rain did not last to long and when it stopped I went out to get sunset pictures. In the middle of the yard, and the edge sits a covered gazebo. Two sides holding benches and the center is large enough for a table if needed. To the left, the chairs, looking out at the water. The cushions were safe inside out of the rain. I just couldn't resist. How many nights are friends and/or lovers sitting watching the sun go down?
I happened to be in the gazebo at one point, and noticed the sunset reflecting on the railing, the water drops left on the buds, and the painted sky. What a day..... what a view!
Today will be spent doing nothing! LOL it was raining this morning when I got up but the sun has since come out. It's still overcast but the breeze is wonderful coming in the open windows. The rain brought in cooler air and it is about 78 degrees. Perfect for a lazy day of being alone, nothing but quiet.... aaaahhhhhh Hoping everyone had a great weekend and a restful Sunday...
Hugs

~ Tired ~
..... or as my friend would say 'Tarred'... ::giggle:: she's from Pittsburgh.. and I know some of you know exactly what I am saying... she also says 'the Stillers' LOL Sound familiar to any of you? Hmmm??
The day was great... it was warm, a bit humid, and extremely hazy. The house we were at has this view all day long. She sits above the lake but also has beach front, you go down about 15 steps to the beach. It's a fabulous place. The shore line of lake Erie has a number of bays. Today in the bay to the right of her they had sailboat races. As they came out from behind the point you could see them. It was a distance away, and the haze made the view a little faint, you can barely see where the water ends and the sky begins. On a clear day the color in those sails would pop! There really was no 'sun' for the sunset, but the colors and pattern that came thru the clouds was magnificent. I don't think the picture does it justice...........
The fresh air was fabulous, but right now I am tired... just wanted to share a couple shots. I will do another entry tomorrow. I plan on nothing tomorrow... other then waking up :) Hope you all had a great Saturday!
Hugs
