Day 306 - Monday, November 16

I was pleasantly surprised to run into my cousin and girlhood best friend, Ruth at Safeway this afternoon. We sat down for a quick visit.

Day 237....Monday, Sept 7 (Labor Day)

We spent the morning working on clearing the laundry room so Jim could mop the floor several times (because the backup of the sewer is concentrated in that room). Actually, Jim and Daniel did the majority of the work - with Dan taking things outside to sit on the deck until the floor was clean enough to put it back. We filled the gabage bin while we were at it - by 'purging' somewhat. I was too busy working to take photos, unfortunately. (Yes, it is true....I do not ALWAYS think of taking a picture)

The afternoon had already been booked as a BBQ with Vinj and Kath, SheriLyn, and Barry and Judy (from church). In spite of a rather cool wind (which I did not appreciate), we had a good time - and good food. It was nice to share our home and visit with 'new' people.

Barry and Judy brought along their own 2 boys as well as the Anderson boys, so the girls had a blast! They played so hard they barely stopped for supper....in fact, I don't think they did stop, at all - I know Liz and Soph ate hot dogs on the run and Emma never did come get her hamburger.

Some photos from the afternoon.....

Day 58 - Saturday, February 28

The last day of the month......of course, if you are moving - or helping someone move - this is a busy day.

Some wonderful people came by Vinjelu and Kathryn's old home to help clean it for new tenants today........

Lisa F not only brought her vacuum cleaner, she vacuumed in preparation for the Carpet Cleaners.

Lisa's girls, Anna and Esther were a big help - they spot cleaned walls, wiped out cupboards, helped with the bathroom, and babysat Kaden

Desire A.....A cleaning machine! Not the most flattering shot, but the only one I took.

Victoria decides that Andrew's face needs to be washed along with everything else.


Even the hardest workers need a coffee (or cookie) break

Later, Andrew, Victoria, Daniel, Kaden and I took a break and went to BP's for some lunch.

It is lovely to know that there are people who care about you enough to use their Saturday to clean and move for you.....Thanks to everyone for their help!
