Before BC, I was in Germany for a week. Essentially I had a "use it or lose it" flight to Europe that I had to take by the end of September. It was a business class trip- so I didn't want to lose it! mr t couldn't go along due to work, the kids were in school- and I wanted to go somewhere I hadn't been before, so I fixed on Munich. There was a ( Read more... )

I arrived home late last night after a long flight from BC. The whole family went out to Kamloops this year to spend Thanksgiving together. It's the first time we have all been together in 4 years- not since my parents' 50th anniversary. There were 15 at dinner- which is 15/16ths of my immediate family (my parents, my own family, my sisters and ( Read more... )

Sigh.  Another August.  Another hold up at the bank.  I go 20 years without an incident, then I had one last August, and one today.  Another note passer.  He said he had a weapon, but I didn't see it (they usually claim this, and it's not usually true)- but you can't take the chance.  At any rate- I gave him a small amount of money  (NOT the 15k he ( Read more... )

Finally home after a couple of busy weeks.  I'm tired and still jet lagged, but got in everything I needed to do, and saw everyone I needed to see.

We made it to Pennsic, but it was very short this year- just the second Saturday until Wednesday.  We had planned on staying until the the Thursday, but I ended up coming down with a nasty cold on ( Read more... )

A strange couple of weeks.   Unusual things seem destined to take up my rare days off these days.  I've been working a lot this summer filling in for vacations and stuff- almost full time.  I don't mind much, as the money is always nice, but things around the house keep getting put off ( Read more... )

The last few weeks have been busy- lots of hours at the bank- including a lot of Saturdays (and this Friday, so Trillies, if we make it, will essentially be a day trip.)  I'm hoping the new hires start soon, because I would like a day off- I haven't made it to the gym in ages ( Read more... )

We had planned on attending Pikeman's today, but mr t came down with one of his headaches yesterday (and missed work).  He was a bit better today, but not up to 7 hours of driving, so we gave it a miss.   Pity, as it's an event I always enjoy, but at least we made Crown last week, so we got to touch base with people then. Crown was a nice event ( Read more... )

We're back, and life is slowly getting back to normal.  There is still a bit of laundry to do, and the pictures to go over and delete the bad ones, but the jet lag has finally gone at least ( Read more... )

I have 4 envelopes in front of me for Revenue Canada - finished everything in time, and the cheque is written. I owe a smallish amount (stupid health tax- no way to deduct that one that I could figure out!)  the kids get small refunds, and for the first time in a few years, mr t gets a largish refund ( thank you home renovation Tax credit, and ( Read more... )
