10 days already Crofton now Port Alberni

Syopped at a favorite beach on way home from Courtenay


Boy that went fast, visiting many friends and family so far, been really nice. Working on getting my shed up, placing the pallets for the floor, and bolting the braces together was tough on this older body, a long with moving all the wood here. All is stored away now, sheds weather proof, now to setup the tools, and make the benches solid. Feeling like it was a big job now. 

      Had another visit with Shayla too


Been really a busy time, love it, we both enjoyed all the visitors here and in Crofton. Tomorrow I go to the loggers meeting at the industrial heritage society be good I'm sure. I have only been in the building once since it's been the Industrial heritage society, so looking forward to seeing inside, a long with all the working friends from many years in the industry. 

Went and signed our tax return today, was ready last Tuesday, but our busy life didn't allow us to get there till today, well along with our forgetfulness 😄  getting a few $$ back be nice, going to need it seeing everything going up in price every day now. 

Polly just brought our the cheezies, nice to have Hawkins, as only in Canada. I've noticed more flag's, Canadian flags around now than ever before, sticking out of car door's, and on the front of house's, the box of a truck, just many more. The economic attack on Canada has brought out some nationalistic people that never felt they had to do this before. It's interesting what it takes to have people feel threatened, and wanting to pull together. 

In Canada really not boasting about our Canadian ness, now though it seems the thing to do, buy Canadian is the way now, well at least as much as we can. I'm hoping this will change for the better soon, but right now it's looking like More is coming. 

Well the cheezies taste good 😆

Soon it will be Easter 🐰🐣, then next May Long weekend, then summer will come. It all happens fast, so we plan now for the times we'll be tubing down the river, and swimming in the lake, as we did today with Dax. Was nice to make plans ahead, he's got plans for concerts he wants to go to as well. Boy's growing up alright. 

Took Jet home yesterday, he talked so much that Polly said when he got out of the truck in Courtenay that she had never had such a fast trip to Courtenay, he kept us listening steady to his plans, and his problems, all his life, was really good 👍. 

Been a really good 10 days, sure went fast!

Looking forward to more as the week's fold into months. Our 5 months here are going to go by fast I'm sure, but will be much fun. 

Love our life ❤️ wherever we are.
