August 29 Update


Good Morning!

Well it was my birthday yesterday. Yup, 25 years old!! I had my family over for dinner. It was nice. We had steak , prawns, and scallops. With a spinach salad ,and yummy potatoes.

I was so grateful for the gifts I received. I got a new pair of golf shoes and a new 3 wood. A Talormade burner! Looks Nice. I will tell you how it works for me. I have been using a web site called Golf B.C. to book tee times. This weekend I found one that cost $9.30 per person with a cart. Unbelievable!!!! The course is a high end course. One of the best in Kelowna. It is called the Okanagan club. There are 2, 18 hole courses there. I will let you know how I shoot.

Bye for now.

Hello!!

So Tajanna has a boy friend. They met at her place of work. A French Bakery. He is from France and bakes delicious bread and croissants. He has a job starting in Oslo , Norway. Tajanna is going with him. She will also work there and save money for her schooling next year. It will be great for her to be on her own and make her place in the world. Sabestien is his name. I likwe him very much. He is a hard worker and kind.

August 17 Update



Hi again,

So our new gates are up! In the past they were in the back corner of the house. This time we put them at the front of the house. It gives an extra storage space for secure parking. If we sell our house it would be a great extra if the next owners had a boat or an RV.

Chrissy and I have done all the work on our home this spring. Well Except for the gutters on the house, and making the gates. We saved alot of money.

More later!

Hello!!!!!

It was a busy weekend again! I finished a kitchen off yesterday. I did that so I can start a new one on Monday. Today, Chrissy and I put the gates up in the front of our house. They look great. We have been staining them the last 2 days in the evening when it is cooler out side. I will update pictures soon.

I took some pictures at an accident on our way home from camping. Every one in the accident was ok. lots of damage to the cars though.

More soon.

August 15 Update




Hello everyone,

It has been such a busy summer. Lots of hard work and fun!

My back yard is coming together nicely. The new grass is coming in. I custom ordered 3 cedar gates. We stained them last night. Chrissy will do the detail staining today while I am at work. They look very nice so far.

I have been doing my best to stay active and exercise. I have been cycling and stretching after to work and my legs. There is a new road that goes up a hillside east of kelowna. At the top of the road there is a new golf course. The view from up there is outstanding. Of coursea good work out. around 30 minutes of hill climbing. Hmmmmm I guess I should see how long it takes me! Next time.

Chrissy's sister and family have returned home. They were here for 3 weeks. They did stay at our house. That also kept us busy.

Well time for work.

Bye for now!
