Tho summer brings mosquitoes (which I REALLY hate) and I'm at 2 merging rivers that flooded this year. I still love summer more than winter. And as for Pete, Hubby drives me crazy with the song, 'Pete and Repeat went over the bridge. Pete fell in and who was left?' So I was BAD and sic'd Dragon on Pete AND Repeat, let Hubby babysit Dragon for the rest of the day. Thought that would cure his habit! Now they are BOTH singing it! And Grandpa Troll is rolling around on the floor laughing! Sigh!

Oh, oh looks like the three amigo's are at it again. Hay, that sounds like a poem I should write about Jack, John and Tim. I sure get a kick when I see all three of your beautiful faces. We are definitely going to get a long winter here in Alberta, all the geese, ducks and robins already left for the south. they left two weeks ago. So we're getting ready for winter here already. Love you three, keep writing these great poems Jack. Hugs Theresa
