PEOPLEl

I am home as you probably could tell by my last post. I loved being down in Vancouver, even with a sick doggie, but I am super glad to be home too.

I picked up Wrangler on Friday morning.  Needless to say we were very excited to see each other.  But he is such an easy dog.  I think that he would be happy with anyone.  But he was happy to see me.

I drove straight to Safeway and picked up what I needed to make curried chicken.  I had a pot luck to go to that night.  Kathy and Kerry picked me up and we had a wonderful evening.  That group is such an interesting and a good group of people.  And the fellow who owned the house we were in had a set of speakers like no other I have ever seen.  They are seven feet tall and a good two to three feet across.  OMG!!!  So we sat in the perfect spot in the room and played..AC/DC, Imagine Dragons, Roxy etc...what an experience.

Anne was up for lunch but couldn't stay long on Saturday.  We are going for lunch on Wed. so we will have more time to chat.  Today Amy was in for coffee.  Its always so good to see her.  I picked her brain on prices of these condos etc.  But I don't want to think about that until I have to.  There are people here I am going to miss horribly when I move.  I LOVE living close to my sister.  I always wanted to live close to her.  At least in North Van I will be able to have Emily over lots.  So I am going to pull a Scarlett O'Hara...I will think about it tomorrow.

I also got the bunk bedroom done today.  That was a big job.  When I got the bed from Kerry for my tan purple room I just moved everything into the bunk bed room and left it there...til today.  I will take pics tomorrow and put them on here.

Tomorrow is Kiwanis day.  I should bake something.  Pass it around.  They seem to appreciate that.  I have this sick need to be appreciated and the only way I am is by cooking.  Hahaha!!!!

When I got home Thursday night, Kerry picked me up at the bus around quarter to nine at night.  He drove me home and, bless him, got out and carried my ridiculously heavy suitcase into the house for me.  And we could hardly get into the place!  I had left a key with my neighbour so he could put any amazon deliveries (I do all, and I mean all, my xmas shopping online) into my place.  Well we were faced with a massive pile of boxes.  A huge pile.  OMG!!!  Hahaha!  I thought there was a mail strike for heaven's sake!  Clearly not!

But I was so tired I collapsed into my awesome homey welcoming red pleather recliner, pulled up a blanket and literally passed out...until twenty to eight in the morning!!!!  I haven't done that since I was a kid!

I opened all the boxes the next day and separated the stuff into piles on my table.  It wasn't all that much.  You know Amazon...they put a deck of cards into a 3 foot by 3 foot box with a pile of air inflated plastic bags.  But I have a lovely pile of boxes now.  I shall be keeping them and slowly filling them up over the next year.

Anywhoo.  Its getting to be my bedtime.  TTYL

TECHNOLOGY:  Well, next to my friends and family, technology is something I am MOST grateful for. Once I got a laptop on my lap, joined facebook, started emailing, writing this blog, bought a serious dslr Nikon, I have not looked back and there would be no going back.  I think though, that my most fave thing about technology is that it allows me to almost never leave my house.  I hate errands.  Now I don't have to go shopping, other than groceries and that I could order online and just might in the new year, I can bank, I can pay bills, I can pay people back, I can write my letters and mail them electronically, I can buy all my books, I can plan and buy my trips.  Other than taking the dog to the kennel, there isn't much I can't do technologically.  I am most grateful for it!  (I just wish I could go to the gym technologically!  Hahaha!!!)
