A Walk in the Rain

Posted in Activities, birds, ducks, eagle, geese, Nature, pictures, travel, tree, Vancouver, walking, weather, Wildlife6 Comments

I had most of the day on my own Wednesday, since Angie had to work.  She gave me directions to a good place to walk so that was the plan.  It was pretty wet, but not raining when I woke up, so I headed out after breakfast. Of course, it started to rain within a… Continue reading A Walk in the Rain

Spring Flowers

This will be my last spring in this home – so I will be getting as many pictures as possible to show them off.  I will be pretty busy the next few weeks with packing and getting ready to move, but hopefully I’ll continue to get pictures. I have planted many of these bushes, trees… Continue reading Spring Flowers

A Wild Ride (but short)

Posted in Chester, dog, dog walking, house, pets, walking, Winnipeg2 Comments

This isn’t really a ride – but my first house for sale story.  I told you earlier that I had found an apartment for Chester and I to move to and that the next step was selling the house. With the help of a friend, I found and hired a realtor (Josh).  Well, I guess… Continue reading A Wild Ride (but short)

There is seldom much going on around here in the dead of winter and January is about as dead as it can get.  🙂 We’ve had snow (not too much so far this year) and we’ve had cold & windy days.  Today has been a lovely break in the cold with a current temperature of… Continue reading Little Bit of This – Little Bit of That

Progress

I’ve got a little bit of progress here and a little bit of progress there. First – the job situation:  It looks like I will have 3 shifts at the Y each week.  The shifts are 4 hours each – so 12 hours per week.  I also have 3 shifts at Comforts of Home each… Continue reading Progress

I Failed

After years of convincing people that I am perfect, it is hard to admit that I made a mistake and that I failed at something.  If you remember, I retired in the spring this year.  That is what I failed.  One of the employees at the Y suggested that I should be looking to see… Continue reading I Failed

Things

Things are not moving as smoothly lately as they have been, but I am sure everything will be on track again soon.  The main problem is my job, which unfortunately I need to survive.  One of my supervisors decided to remove me from one of my clients without any particular reason, except that he could. … Continue reading Things

Another Combo

I’m gong to have to go back to working full-time.  This retirement thing is getting to be too much work! It has been ages since I’ve had a chance to work on my de-cluttering, but I got some more done in the kitchen this morning.  🙂  Actually, the kitchen is finished now.  Every cupboard and… Continue reading Another Combo

Happenings

Actually – not much is happening around here.  My car is in for service for a couple of recalls and some regular maintenance.  Hopefully it will be ready soon and I can get out and run some errands. I still don’t seem to have this retirement going the way I expected it to be.  I… Continue reading Happenings
