In addition to the power point presentation, sheets and handbooks, we were also given tours of Expo Centre and Rexall. We have to know where the staff areas are, where to swipe in and out, and the sign-in sheets. Rexall was exhausting--it's 6 levels!! But we did get to go into the River Cree Club ( for season's ticket holders) and see those fancy doors that the Oilers come out of to get to the ice. Apparently the Oilers are the only NHL team that goes through a public area to get on the ice. We also got to sit in the Oilers' box and the penalty box!! We went back stage where the performers, bands, etc. hang out--typically Guest Services staff wouldn't be in these areas.

| The uniform--I was pleased to see that the vest was made in Canada!! Yay! But the shirt's not--it's made in China. This goes with black dress pants, black shoes and socks. The vest is made of some neoprene-like fabric on the outside and fleece on the inside. No that won't be hot, especially for a menopausal woman!! Hahahaha!! |
Meanwhile, the heat and humidity has returned and the 3/4 inch of rain we got last Thursday brought more mosquitoes!! We were just seeing some improvement because we had some days without rain or very little. I'm doing my best though to harvest the fruits and veggies. I picked a pail of peas yesterday--the 3rd picking and the last for the season. There are such beautiful tomatoes too, and I got a dish pan full of cherries from the neighbor's trees, so I'm making pie fillings, and will make some jam. I have some tiny onions from the neighbor to pickle--just enough for half a pint. I must wade out there today to see what's happening in the cucumber patch!!!

| Yum!! As my neighbor likes to say, "Peas be with you!!" |

| Tomato sauce coming up!! |

Thanks Jolene!♥
Have a great time at work. I think you'll really enjoy it.
Oh yum, those tomatoes look scrumptious. Are you making some of your tasty relish and chutney as well?
How did your saskatoons do this year?
Well how cool is all of this? I want that vest too.....especially in the middle of the night.
Yum - if you're inclined to share your tomato sauce recipe, I'm on the market for a new one!
We didn't realize until you replied to our pirate post that Duffy has blue eyes. The pictures normally aren't that close to see his eyes. That means Duffy is one of those rare sable merles collies. We can't think of any other sable merles we know in person or that have a blog in cyber-paw space. We had to get a look at that November 2010 picture that shows off his blue eyes.
Shermans Dad was a tri and Mom was a sable. The litter was either tri or sable. It is very unlikely that he is a sable merle as you would expect a blue merle in the litter and the two were breed together twice with no blue merles.
