Yes Shari, Wrangler barks so much at the kennel he comes home with a very high pitched ridiculous sounding bark.  I shall pass your comment about Monte's pic on to him.  He will be happy so thank you!

Well let's see....I haven't been out of the house but once since getting home.  I also haven't done a whole bunch.  

I did a little cooking.  I did a little unpacking.  I did bring the red chair out of my bedroom to the living room.  I did talk to a very sick April. I watched Peter, with Monte's help, build my dining room benches...and they look lovely!  Peter has been a very motivating positive influence around here.  There was a ton of recycling and he got Monte moving on it and they took it all to the recycling place.  There was a ton of it!

We are planning a trip to Nanaimo tomorrow.  Long and Mcquade for music books, Winners for handled individual pie plates for pot pies, Costco for a jillion things.  Maybe Walmart for clear Rubbermaids that I will use in the back of the truck.  We can fill them up.  We have to take Wrangler so the back seat won't be available.

I didn't post this yesterday.  Its now morning on Sunday.  It seems Monte is sick again.  So he won't be going to Nanaimo.  No sign of Peter yet although he was up at four thirty making himself a cup of coffee.  And its frosty out!!!  The roofs are all covered with frost and so are the vehicles! If we still go I am going to bring my old trusty dusty D90 and get some pics.  It is so beautiful out there with all the colours.  

Well thats it folks.  Another pretty mundane and boring post.  I am pretty sure it will pick up a little with trips out, halloween and the big dinner next week.  TTYL

TOO BIG FOR HIS BED

WE TOOK THE LAST SEATS AVAILABLE ON THE BUS AT THE VERY VERY BACK.  ROOMY!  BUT THE WOMAN, SITTING WITH HER HUSBAND RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME, TURNED AROUND AND ASKED IF SHE COULD PUT HER HUSBAND BACK WITH ME AS SHE HAD A BAD BACK.  JEEZ!!!  I SAID NO YOU CAN'T, I AM FAT AND IT WOULD BE VERY UNCOMFORTABLE.  SHE WASN'T VERY HAPPY.
