Well the last few days have been amazing. On the sixth right after I posted here, the door bell rang. I, in a most annoyed manner, hoisted out of my chair and sluffed to the door. And…It was my Arnie!!!! She has always been the one to remind Bill and I that it was our anniversary on the sixth. We never remembered.
I almost didn't recognize her at first, it was such a shock! She said she couldn't let me go through the first alone anniversary by myself and not only that, she could only stay one hour! Just think, she took time out of her insanely busy life to drive up here, make me feel amazing, and then drive all the way back. I couldn't believe it. So we made coffee and power talked, she had to stop to email business occasionally, and power talked some more until she had to leave. Best anniversary gift ever!
The next few days were spent trying to see a doctor. The one I want to see wasn't available and each time I went back he was booked. And looking at my calendar for next week, the earliest I can get in there is Thursday.
I got a lot more unpacking done but not enough. Its down to a few last boxes for the kitchen. I got the bedrooms and family room all ready for company. And Friday afternoon Jo and Ainsley came for a visit then Kevin et al arrived. It was so good to see them! I made a bunch of black bean quesadillas and we went downstairs to the only table in the house to eat.
Yesterday we sat out on the deck for ages and visited and drank coffee and laughed. The sunshine feels so good. The family went to Paul Lake and had a trip around and got back in time for a salmon dinner. We ate out on the deck and I have a feeling I will be spending lots of time out on that deck! Gorgeous view and not too much sun.
Now today I shall be taking advantage of having the truck near. Off to Mission Flat dump and down to Value Village. They have to leave this afternoon, dinner with her Mom tonight. I am taking pics and will post tomorrow. Right now I just looked at my calendar and shaw is coming in again today. Trouble with the pvr…surprise surprise. Monday I have to find the gardeners I hired and go pick out a million plants. That should be interesting! So off to a banana pancake breakfast Kevin is making and then the day. TTYL
