Sunday, Sunday
Hi all,
Had a nice weekend so far, I watched the finale two hours of Star Trek: Enterprise, and I am a bit bummed out that is has ended.
Saturday, Roanna went out for a long walk at one of the parks with her Mom, and I stayed in bed with the covers over my head. Saturday night we went to a restaurant called Cilantro on 17th Ave. (the "trendy") area where there are lots of restaurants and cool, expensive shops. It was a birthday dinner for April, it was pretty nice, we sat outside and had dinner, and talked.
Today we are washing clothes and rescuing Maxine from the roof, again. I have an idea to block off the posts with some chicken wire, we have cardboard and paper right now, so at least they can look out to the roof to see that THERE IS NOTHING THERE TO JUMP TO!!!!
Good News: We have be offered, and have accepted to say at our current address until Sept 2006. Our landlord, will be removing the rest of her items & furniture in September, so we will are looking forward to staying here since we like the area. Unfortunately, Jenny will have a home found for her and will probably be gone by September as well. We will enjoy her as much as we can until then, and since we picked up more of those tape-on-a-roller fuzz picker uppers, we can give her lots of hugs.
Still have not downloaded any pics yet from the camera but hopefully, will be doing it soon.
Take care all.

Here Yesterday, Gone Today
Hi all,
Weather was a bit wacky yesterday with snow for most of the late morning/early afternoon. I walked down to Starbucks in snow, but it was not to bad, the wet stuff that melts really quickly. By late afternoon you could not tell it had snowed.
Today it is a sunny with a bit of a brisk wind, I'm gonna head out as soon a I clean up, to chill and read at the Starbucks.
Other than that there is nothing to serious to report, I got a call from my Mom yesterday, she was keeping me up to date on the Bermuda stuff. And been pretty much thinking I should update the website with a few more pictures by the end of the week.
Hi to all the family that read this... Roanna & I are doing fine, and so are the cats.
take care...

What A Quick Weekend
Well, that was pretty fast! Saturday we cleaned house & car, rescued Maxine off of the roof, since she hopped out through the balcony and couldn't get back in from the roof side.
Watch Pearl Harbour movie, and prepped up for Sunday's Mother's Day.
We had Roanna's Mom of over for manicure and parrifin wax treatments (I had gone for coffee), then ended up having dinner at Roanna'a parent's house. We were supposed to have it at Rich & Kim's house, but Kim was feeling pretty sick. Dinner, beers, & Trivial Persuit was played for quite some time, before everyone left to go home.
On the downside I forgot my Dad's Birthday was on Friday, I thought it was Sunday, so when I called he was out of the house. I guess I will have to mail those cards soon!!
Hope all the Mom's out there had a great weekend, and take care everyone.

Happy 5th of May
Well if I would have remembered, we woudda had Mexican food tonight. Roanna reminded me with a card.
We can't even go down to the Mexican restaurant at Shawnesy, cause they closed last night. Ah, well, I will have to do something next weekend, or some such.
Still quiet, not much happening, still, made california rolls yesterday for lunch, had lots so had some for today as well. Not bad, the rolling of the sushi went better than I expected, my avacado was unripe so I did not use it, I got it on Sunday, I should have put it in a bag to ripen faster. And sadly I brought a sushi rice viniger to season the rice, but it was really bad, more on the sour side than the sweet side. Better luck next time.
We went for a long walk/run to the pet store to get more cat food, came back and watched the BBC series on Winsor Castle, I think it is a four part series, we have seen three so far. For some reason I am really interested in the series. The first two brought me to tears for some strange reason, such a beautiful castle. Anyhoo, just been playing Marrowind on the Xbox, and thats about it, keeping it kinda quiet this week. Tonight it Survior night, so Roanna gets the big screen, it was fun when the show first started.... but I just can't get into it. Ah well.
Take care everyone and hello to you all.

More Deer
Well this morning we had 6 deer walking through the complex, though I did not grab the camera to take any shots. One of these days I will update the website with more photos, and I have a few from last month.
The weather is warming up, and the sun is setting later, this makes for some great evening walks along the pathways in our area. Last night Roanna & I went for a long walk for some exercise, it was quite nice looking at the front (& back) of houses in the area.
We had a quiet weekend, went for another walk along Glenmore reseviour on Sunday with Roanna's Mom, saw lots of water birds (including really loud seagulls), and lots of lots of bugs.
Other than that it again has been a quiet week, just staying home and trying to save up some money. Some good news is that you can apply for a work permit after 3 months of your papers getting processed (so hopefully this will be able to get me to work a bit sooner) though I am not holding my breath.
Crossing fingers.
Take care everyone.
