A decision
Yes! We have made a decision about something. Unusual behaviour.
The decision is about the cabin at the lake. We have been tossing around different ideas: should we build something new? Like what? How would we pay for it? Would we be out there any more than we are now? Geoff has been out there a lot lately sprucing things up so we can get a good report from the yearly inspection. I helped a bit last weekend, and we each came to a conclusion at the same time. We are going to spend some money and time just fixing things up. There is not anything too difficult to fix. We will get running water, put in a shower, change the kitchen around, put in new flooring and a new deck. Maybe some new furniture. We don't need another big place to take care of.
Went to Miranda's wedding yesterday. (Friends from church, Miranda is their youngest kid.) It was good, very lighthearted, not a lot of ceremony and tradition. The ceremony was at 6 p.m. then there was a gathering out at Dovercourt Hall at 7, with some speeches and dancing, then a supper at 10, then more dancing. Ferrey kids, did you know that Becky got married in September? She eloped, not even her parents knew they were planning to do it.
The weather here is beautiful too, but for every couple of warm days there is a day of rain. The poor farmers are having a hard time getting any crops off, as soon as things start to dry they get rained on again.
Geoff has had his interview with the new company. He was told the decisions would be known by mid-October. Meanwhile they are doing a turnaround so he had to go out today and will be busy busy for the next couple of weeks.

I feel that you didn't mention the only thing that is truly wrong with the cabin, that the bottom logs are rotting. This gives it its characteristic pronounced tilt and probably renders it structurally unsound.
Your dad thinks it can be jacked up and maybe have pilings under it which would solve the problem.
This is Lisa impersonating Mom.
Are you guys coming here?
Just wondering if you have made another decision.
Plus, if you do the work on the cabin, we can all have a vacay there!
Lisa again, not Mom
If you would like some help with stuff, let me know. I would not mind giving you a hand.
I didn't know either of them got married. Thanks for the update!
I am happy to hear the cabin will be reno'd, not removed. Maybe I can stop by for a while next year and help.
Lisa, we have made one decision this month already. Are you never satisfied?
I am not sure now if we can make it this fall with Geoff's uncertainty about work plus this turnaround.
Basically, all the signs say 'Geoff retire.'
Then come to Kelowna!
see, I made the decision for you both.
The Alexanders are more than willing to contribute to cabin renovation. give us a call.
