Summertime

The Road and the Radio

Summertime is finally here

That old ball park man is back in gear

Out on 49, man I can see the lights

School's out the nights roll in

Man, just like a long lost friend

You ain't seen in a while

You can't help but smile.

~

And it's two bare feet on the dashboard

Young love in an old Ford

Cheap shades, a tattoo, new doo, bottle rollin on the floorboard

Her favorite song on the radio

Sing along because it's one we know

It's a smile

It's a kiss

It's a sip of wine

It's summertime

Sweet summertime.

~

Temperature says '93

Down at the deposit and guarantee

But that swimming hole

It's nice and cold

BikINI bottoms underneath

But the boys heart still skip a beat

When them girls shimmy offThem old cut-offs

~

And it's two bare feet on the dashboard

Young love in an old Ford

Cheap shades, a tattoo, new doo, bottle rollin on the floorboard

Her favorite song on the radio

Sing along because it's one we know

It's a smile

It's a kiss

It's a sip of wine

It's summertime

Sweet summertime.

~

The more things change

The more they stay the same

Don't matter how old you are

When you know what I'm talking 'boutYeah baby, when you got.

Far Away

by Nickelback

This time, This place

Misused, Mistakes

Too long, Too late

Who was I to make you wait

Just one chance Just one breath

Just in case there's just one left '

Cause you know, you know, you know

I love you

And I've loved you all along

And I miss you

Been far away for far too long

I keep dreaming you'll be with me and you'll never go

Stop breathing if I don't see you anymore

On my knees, I'll ask Last chance for one last dance

'Cause with you, I'd withstand

All of hell to hold your hand

I'd give it all I'd give for us Give anything but I won't give up

'Cause you know, you know, you know

I love you

And I've loved you all along

And I miss you

Been far away for far too long

I keep dreaming you'll be with me and you'll never go

Stop breathing if I don't see you anymore

So far away (So far away)

Been far away for far too long

So far away (So far away)

Been far away for far too long

But you know, you know, you know

I wanted I wanted you to stay

'Cause I needed I need to hear you say

That I love you

And I've loved you all along

And I forgive you

For being away for far too long

So keep breathing

'Cause I'm not leaving you any more

Believe it

Hold on to me and never let me go

Keep breathing, 'cause i'm not leaving you any more

Believe it

Hold on to me and never let me go

Keep breathing

Hold on to me and never let me go

Keep breathing

Hold on to me and never let me go

Introducing Mr & Mrs. John Farrar

~~~

So we spent tha last week on holiday in the Rockey Mountains, well actually Jasper to be exact. Tracey & John tied the knot, we climbed some mountains and wandered through the quaint shops.

We had an awsome holiday and it was os hard to come back to reality being in the mountains seemed to have a way of hypnotizing you. It is such a relaxing place to spend a vacation.

Holiday In Jasper !!!

OMG....I am a terrible blogger...

Where has the time gone to....

I am just gonna put some pictures on here and let them tell the story....

Well it has been a pretty busy week around here. I finally got almost all my flowers planted...Thank God !!!

Tracey & John were up with Duke & Duchess on the weekend, we had a nice but short visit. We did however make it to Clark's for a delicous lunch....YUMMY !!!

My nephew also arrives on the weekend from Red Deer with his girlfriend Jessica. I guess they are going ot stay with us till the end of the summer. They are both on the hunt for jobs right now...

We also got a call from Kennys cousin George, looking to come out her from PEI to work, we are not sure when he is coming yet...details to follow...

Other than that its been good around here, I had lunch with Teresa this week on Monday. It was awsome to see her.

It has been raining all week, real nice for the gardening and the puppy training...LOL...oh well.

I just finished watching the game....a little bit disapointing but we will get them next time. It was awsome however to see the whole arena singing the anthem again...Alberta pride...no Canadian pride. Those Oiler fans sure know how to show their support.

GO OILERS GO !!!

Introducing Oreo, here is our newest family member. She was born on March 27th, 2006. She is a border collie and we adopted her from the Bonnyville SPCA. Her mother was hit by a car and killed just a day after the puppies were born. So they were brought into the shelter to be properly cared for. They were bottle fed and are quite chubby. There were eight of them and they have all been adopted but one. It breaks my heart, I wish I could adopt him too. You can see him here http://search.petfinder.com/petnote/displaypet.cgi?petid=6295876

She is welcome addition to our family.
