SOOOO HAPPY

I am so contentedly happy tonight.  The only fly in the ointment, and I mean the ONLY one are my eyes.  They have become a tad worse over the last few days.  More and more up close stuff is becoming harder to focus on and keep it from becoming double.  Further than a room distance is fine, its just up close.  But other than that my life is so good right now.

My children are on their way here to help this weekend.  Well, April, Myles, Monte and Peter are on their way.  Aryn would love to be here too but she just can't leave down there.  And I haven't heard from Kevin in ages.

A wonderful thing happened today!  I got a call from Amy my awesome real estate lady, and she had the keys to the townhouse early!!!  She came up and handed them over around two o'clock this afternoon.  So I hopped into Tank and barrelled down to check the place out.

It is truly perfect.  I have never wanted a big place.  This place is small enough to please me, but there is still plenty of room for family and guests and an Anton downstairs til he finds a place.

  My little nook is going to be spectacular.  I am putting the red dry sink I kept from Bamfield days in the nook with my tv on it.  My current kitchen recliner must go to the dump...and it will be going in pieces.  So after checking out my new home I trotted down to the Brick and bought a bright red pleather recliner.  My nook is going to be ....RED...and the chair arrives on Tuesday!!!!

I also bought an iron, a really pretty one, bed for the guest room!  I am also going to put my awesome baker's rack that matches it in that room.  Seeing as how this is my forever home (or at least until I hit the senior scene) I must make a proper guest room.  I never did that in this house.  What I didn't buy today were bunk beds.  I need  to look at them a little more before committing.  I am definitely going to be getting bunk beds for the other room, its just how much do I want to actually spend on them.  I have to think it over a little.

The only downside to this place is that due to its age (old timer) there is no water line to the fridge, and no way of getting one there.  So it will be old school pitchers of water and ice cube trays.  Or maybe, just maybe, I will 'run' to the 7 eleven next door and buy bags of ice!  And whilst there I shall maybe get some chicken, or a taquito, or a hot dog, or a slurpee, or a bag of chips or a cup of coffee and a donut...just what a fat broad with type 11 needs, a Sevy right next door!

On the counter when I went in were two very awesome things.  On one counter was a beautiful leather wine bag with a bottle of wine in it with a welcoming note from the previous owner.  Now that's class!  And....an enormous exquisite huge gift basket from Amy!  And she included a beautiful card.  I know that she and I are going to be friends.  We really hit it off.  I can't wait to open that gift basket.  I almost did right there on the spot.  But I decided to wait for Myles and April.  Its so much fun to share the experience!  I mean how often does one get a beautiful ginormous gift basket?  I will take pics tomorrow and share them here.

And...best of all, the place was cold!!!!  It has a working air conditioner!!!  The whole house was a lovely chill.  I am so spoiled!!!

So now I am ready for the kids to get here, they just texted and they are in Merritt.  I am one happy camper tonight!  TTYL

OUT MY WINDOW EARLY THIS MORNING
