Eureka!

After two days of unsuccessfully trying every suggestion I found on removing tarnish from and polishing silver I was feeling desperate and defeated. I had moved on to cleaning the black marks off my wall when inspiration hit. With nothing to lose, I tried my Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. I'm not sure why I was surprised because it'd never let me know before, but, to my amazement, it took off the tarnish and polished the silver effortlessly. I didn't even have to rub. It just took the lightest wipe! Perhaps magic does exist.

Happy Birthday Meghan
June 21, 2007

Happy Father's Day!

This is Meghan wishing all the fathers out there a very happy Father's Day. I celebrated the day by making a zen garden for my daddy with my favouritest rocks and fork and some sand from the park on the corner. I also picked out an awesome card with a picture of a digging machine on it, then baked him a really big cookie. I think Daddy liked the rocks the best though.

Later I took Daddy and Mommy to the Brantford zoo where we had a lot of fun. We talked to all the animals, played in the playground, had a picnic lunch, and rode a pony! Since it's my birthday in a couple days, I also got to pick out a nice yellow safari hat in the gift shop on the way out. I tried to share it with Daddy, but it's Meghan-sized and looked funny on him.

After my nap, Daddy and I played some more and then we ordered Pizza (my favourite) for dinner! It was so good! We finished the day with a funny story. Now it's time for me to sleep.

For Schwindt blog news, this is Meghan signing off.

Summer Pleasures

Meghan the Tree Hugger

Vacation in Dyers Bay

On the May long weekend (and most of the following week) we stayed with David's parents at Cabot Head Cottage in Dyers Bay, a small cottage community on the Bruce Peninsula, just south of Tobermory.

The view from the Deck (seen in the picture on the right) was breath-taking. The shoreline was made up of big white rocks, which Meghan loved. She spent hours throwing them in the water, thinking that it was the best thing in the world.
Nearby attractions included: David's parents' property, complete with a newly installed driveway, and a couple newly planted trees; the Gremm cottage; and the Cabot Head Lighthouse & Provincial Nature Preserve. The picture below is of Meghan spotting a snake emerging from underneath the paved Nature Trail at the Lighthouse. Thankfully, I wasn't there at the time.

There were, of course, many other attractions in the area, but this is what we have pictures for. All in all a really great long weekend, which rumour has it, we'll have the opportunity to repeat next year.
