I usually wait till Sunday for a blog post, but!

"Rainy days and Sundays always get me down" came to mind, it's a song by the Carpenter's, a band that was popular years ago. I had to look it up, Karen Carpenter the singer was also the drummer, I didn't remember that. I listened and watched the video, but I don't feel down. My thoughts were, if I was to be down every Monday & every time it rains I'd be down most the time here in Port Alberni. 🤣

We had a really good family visit yesterday, with the siblings of Polly's family and the outlaws, myself included. 😄 Was really nice to get together, yak it up, kinda like a Christmas visit early. Heb & Val live in Vernon, so we don't see them often, but the rest live here, as we do now. Most of our family are on the island, biggest group here in Port Alberni, so making easier to see each other. Yesterday was just the best visit, at times in our place we had 3-4 conversations going at the same time, loud it was, sill, felt nice to be together 🤗

Polly said it's like a test Christmas Eve for us in our new place, I'm sure that'll be really good too with everyone that's planning to come on Christmas Eve. On a rainy Saturday I have to say, this has been the best November I've had in Port Alberni, a little rain, but mostly been really nice.

Looking forward, I'm thinking be really nice weather up to the time we fly away to the East, Toronto, then Lisbon, we are both excited for Christmas, and soon after our winter trip ✈️. A visit with friends before we fly to Portugal will be great. Really nice to have so much to look forward to, we are fortunate ❤️ 

Today will be a quiet day here at our place, I'm thinking I'll go for a walk between the rains, if it doesn't stop I'll take my umbrella ☔, be nice to get out. 

Sunday tomorrow, we have our little friend Harley coming for a couple days, Danny has to go back to Vancouver to get his sending unit to match up with what they installed in his head so he can hear again out of that ear. I'm very hopeful that this turns out good, I can't imagine not being able to hear, as I said before, we are fortunate ❤️.

Sure do love our life ❤️
