Good evening all, it was another perfect day in paradise with temps in the mid-twenties. Just enough Summer and just enough Winter to make things perfectly enjoyable. No bugs that make you stay indoors or require repellent.
The painters are coming in the morning to wash the house and will start painting on Friday. Windows floors, kitchen will follow as we get to it over the coming months. The trouble with having so much going on, we are finding it hard to fit it in. It will get done though.
Sat down and had a long discussion with the kids yesterday as we need to get our will(s) updated. Both kids agreed that trust is the best way to go all things considered. This will offer them the best protection from so many things.
TF, love the sign, it reminded me of a fishing resort we went to for years on Kootenay Lake. It was built and run by a German family and was always in pristine condition and they were a wonderful host. I went back to check the place out when we were in the area some 40 years later. What a heartbreak, it was totally run down, I wish I had not stopped by.
I love woodburning fireplaces and was disappointed when I bought this place as it had gas fireplaces. I had wood at my old house and after a day at work out in the cold, it was nice to park myself in front of the crackle of wood burning.
The Canucks forgot to show up last night. History shows they rarely show up for the first game in a series though, so I hope they come to play tomorrow.
Speaking of camping out in the snow and cold, I took a two-week survival course in February in the mountains about a 100 miles North of Vancouver once. It was horrible. It was a pilot program offered by the school board and I volunteered thinking it was two weeks of getting out of school. We had limited food, a sleeping bag but no tent, just a piece of plastic to put around the bag. Worst experience of my life, but I learned a lot.
I am out of gas early tonight so will join the wife as she is always in bed by 2100hrs. She is soft and cuddly and the same size as she was when I married her. Meryl Streep never really caught my attention until I hooked up with and married a knock off. Then all of a sudden she was the most beautiful woman in the world.
All the best to all.
