Hi everyone!!
Sorry I haven't been around, but like everyone else things got busy and with the girls off from school I don't get much computer time.
The visit with my dad went great. I hadn't been on an airplane since 1983, but since the flight is less than an hour (to go what takes 10 hours to drive) it was fine. My dad picked me up at the airport, so we had a nice little visit, just the two of us for the trip to his house. The citizenship ceremony took place at Fort Langley inside the fort, so I got to play tourist and take pics of the fort. Plus they had a demonstration logging show. And on the Monday we went for a long drive in his model A convertable (he restores model A cars for a hobby) he even drove us down to White Rock so I could see the ocean and then by all the beautiful farm lands in south Langey and along Mile 0 and we followed the markers that show the border between Canada and the US. All in all it was a great weekend, I had absolutly no worries and haven't been that relaxed in I don't know how long.
When I got home I continued helping my mom get her rental house finished. we got all the painting done and then got my hubby in to help with updating the plumbing fixtures. Now the tenent has moved in, so thats done.
And yesterday I got a phone call from the drug store I applied at. They asked if I would come in and work full time for three weeks helping with the set up of the new store. Its just a temporary job, but I really like the idea of only a three week commitment. So I start that July 17 thru till Aug 8, working Tues to Sat, I've never had a real fulltime job, so this will be an experience.
The weather is wonderful and almost to hot, right now its 31C (88F, I think) I have so much to do outside and inside, but just haven't managed to do it. The clover has taken over the yard and I have plants that need transplanting, but, oh well.
Hope, I'm sorry to hear about your gain, I'm sure you'll get back on track soon. Has it cooled down for you yet? I don't think we could handle it any hotter here, the dog is about to expire and I've had to put ice in the fish tanks and an ice bottle in with the rabbit.
Heather are you enjoying your tredmill? I love mine whenever I use it. I put the portable DVD player right in front of me and find that one episode of CSI is just perfect.
Leenie, Cathy, leighann and everyone else
Take care everyone and remember, drink lots of water
