Rainy Sunday

Hudith left at the right time for her holiday. It has turned cold and rainy out and is supposed to be like for a bit. Geoff is making supper, Lisa's houseboat ribs.

Geoff and I went for a walk today and stopped across the street at the new townhouses. There is one all staged for an open house so we checked it out. It is very nice, of course all the new furniture helps with that, but it seems bigger inside than you would think from looking at the outside. The main living area (kitchen, dining and living room) is all one big space but nicely laid out. Tons of kitchen cupboards. The view from the master bedroom upstairs is really nice, out to the west. The view from the other bedrooms is Tim's house.

We have booked a flight to Kelowna in October to visit Mom and L and R. Geoff's project should be finished by then and he will need a break. I couldn't believe the airfare - $45 pp each way. The taxes were more than the airfare. Talked to Will today - he is going to Kelowna then too for a visit. Good idea, Mom. Lisa says she will be off the whole time we are there. We are really looking forward to going.
We are thinking we would like to tour a winery while we are there.

Friday was The Mountaineer's 85th birthday. It was 85 years ago that day that the first issue came out, and 41 years to the day since the Mazzas bought it. So we had a little celebration after work with champagne and snacks. It is such a great place to work. It's a good thing I have a job, I was thinking that with no kids around, I would probably become a hermit if I didn't have to be somplace every day. I would sit at home all day brooding about my grudges.

What grudges are you brooding about? I thought you would more devote your time to twitching the curtains and spying on everyone who went past. That's what I would do!

Invited Will for a wee visit when his Ma & Pa were here - the fact that it was reading week was a happy coincidence

That blasted tree in the front yard makes it hard to watch people going by until winter. Can't check out the lights at Tim's house any more either.
The townhouses range from 294,000 to 314,000.
