“I seldom end up where I wanted to go, but almost always end up where I need to be.” -Douglas Adams

Where to start!?

Friday night I cut a bunch of willows down on the south side of the dugout.
Of course I burnt them...in the fire pit......and drank beer!

Saturday, Ray had to go help our friends.
It was the LAST ROUNDUP!
Grimm was getting rid of all his buffalo!
He helped up a couple years ago......The last post should be here.
I should've went.....I make a good gate girl, or stock trailer door shutter!
He had to be there by 8:00am.
By 8:00, I was hanging out the first load of clothes!
I tell ya I was a make work project!
I took the clothespins out.
Noticed Shadows water dish was full of dead grasshoppers, so cleaned that out & got her fresh water.
Then I noticed the birdbath, was scummy, so scrubbed that out, and refilled it!
I picked the rest of the peas, and pulled out the dying plants!
Also dug a couple non-hills of potatoes for supper!
I did another horse shoe pit!
They take 2 huge wheelbarrel loads of sand!
I trimmed the cottoneasters in front of the little deck, front & back, and gave a couple of the mountain ash a hair cut!
Walked 4 babies back over to the cat house.....they must have spent the night on the deck!
By 3:00pm I. WAS. DUN!
Came in and showered, started supper, then the guy who was gonna pump the sewer out showed up!
That was a learning experience!
Thank God that's done.

Supper was awesome with fresh peas & potatoes, and I made meatballs with gravy!

Kalen's been having trouble with his renters not paying, so I was the CEO (his words) in charge of serving the papers for the Landlord & Tennant somethingsomethingsomething hearing Monday, and giving them an eviction notice. Done and Done!
Unfortunately the tenant didn't take the call, so was ruled against.
AGAIN, unfortunately, who enforces this stuff?
I fired off an e-mail to my friend that works at the RCMP detachment.
He's supposed to go training this Friday for a sail, and thinks he has to refuse, cause this needs to be settled....he's stationed in Victoria.
They're effing with my baby's career, and this MOTHER is getting cranky!

Sunday; I finished the stove door, cleaned it out, gave it a bath, and put my birdhouses I made on a rake & pitchfork!
I'll take pictures when I have them where they're gonna live!

I did finish 2 cards over the weekend!
Got Kalens card made, Vanessa called while I was making it.
V: "What are you doing?"
Me: "I'm in my room making Kalen a card?"
V: "For what? You're making him a card for no reason?!"
Me: "It's a 'thinking of you card', want me to make you cards for no reason?"
V: "No, it's ok."

I made her one too! I think her nose might have been a little out of joint!

Here's hers:


And here's Kalen's.


I did promise him, with a note that the next card wouldn't be blue, have a ship or water on it!
Oh yeah, got the inspiration here!
And I LIED, it's NOT an easel card!

Alrighty, the kid's called me twice already tonight!
He's sooooo stressed!
I told him to have a cup of tea, and a bubble bath.....that would cure him.

Have a few pictures for you.


I have to cross a train tracks, coming & going from work.


It had a lot of cars full of lumber!


No caboose........sorry!

This was last nights sunset.


And this is the shack they put right outside my north window at work!


I climbed in there to have a look before I came home.
It's kinda neat.
There are 2 suites in it, one at each end.
An entry, with a washer & dryer, and the water tank is in the middle.
Guess we got some guys who'll live there in the winter.
D told me I don't look out that window anyway!
hahahaha, he's right, my desk is U shaped and my back is to that window!

Better go....gotta read up on the legal e-mails Kalen sent me......to make sure we're really doing the eviction thing by the book.
With the ruling today, I have to file it at The Court Of Queens Bench, and the nearest one is Peace River.
Guess I'll be spending one morning this week at the Court House!

Hope you're all well!
Ta ta for now!
