Things I've Recently, or not so recently, Discovered

• I sometimes really have nothing interesting to say, or anything to say at all, so I just keep quiet. That may come as surprise to some of you. So I'll copy Randi's post.
  
• Towels get really stinky when you leave them in the washer for a few days without drying them
  
• A good way to tire out a border collie is to take him for a 10km run on your bike and then play fetch in the river for an hour.
• You can count on rain when you plan a summer BBQ with 5 young boys coming with their families. It's always better to clean the family room AFTER, not BEFORE.
• People you've known for awhile can never cease to amaze you with some new idea or personality trait
• It's always better to wait a day for the peaches to ripen than to fight with peeling them the day before. With plants and gardens, patience is a virtue.
  
• A novel on a cloudy summer day is a good way to spend an afternoon
• 44 cents for clothes at Superstore is a good way to load up your closet, but if you don't like it now, you won't later, and it's still not worth 44 cents. It can make 2 new pairs of shoes pretty exciting for a 13 year old
• The last week of summer often feels boring and dreadingly dreadful, especially for children. Note to self: next summer plan to go away the last week :)
• An evening with friends is a good way to make a heart feel not so lonely
  
• A bee sting can really put a damper on a sleep over
• If you don't work you don't get a pay cheque
• Cheesecake is always good for breakfast, just ask Kevin
