Another Week
Hi all,
I can't believe it's been a week. Time flies by when your having fun they say....
Flames fever has hit the city, Calgary has made it to the playoffs, so far we are tied 1 - 1 with The Mighty Ducks (annahiem I think). Anyhoo, tonight there is a game, at eight, so since I am off, I'll be a-watchin'.
The weekend was quite nice, relaxing, resting and not doing much else.... Still waiting for a few more sunny days in a row, so I can get my chair pieces stained and protected, then get the thing assembled. Right now it is a bit warm in the sun and chilly in the shade. Everytime I pack away the coat I have to bring it back out again.
Let's see what other big news.... I went and got a cable box for the house, unlike Bermuda you have to buy them, then have the company turn them on. On the plus side of spending money that I didn't need to, we have about 1o channels that are broadcast in High Definition. And let me tell you, it blows me away, I don't watch sports much, but I may now. Now I also have the ability to pump the cable sound through the surround sound stereo, which is pretty cool also. Right now I got the box on digital music (dance), this was the best feature way back when in Bermuda, 30 channels of "free" CD quality music, which repeats less than radio.
Hmmmm, since I was in the buying mood, Roanna kept her head in the practical side yesterday when I got the cable box, and picked up pillows for our bed. These things are nice, we both got double packed pillows, but in the end we used only one. I put one of my old pillows in our closed on a shelf I don't use for one of the cats. It didn't take long, cause Jenny seems to have claimed it for herself. Today, I walked to the bank (we are right in the middle of two of our banks branches...go figure) and on the way back I picked up some cat food, and some cat grass. a couple of weeks ago we brought 1 box of it and tried to grow it and a previous one we brought. Well both went the way of the Dodo, knocked down by some "mysterious" outside force. So today I got one ungrown one, and one grown one, taped it down and placed it on the porch, Maxine was on it in about 10 minutes.
Anyhoo, guess I'll go start some dinner, pasta tonight, a baked dish I hope.
Take care everyone
Ian

Hi Ian and Roanna, boy do you two do a lot of stuff! I showed Momma and Chris your suncatcher you made for me and they were both mighty impressed...I have it here leaning against a bottled candle next to the computer. I think I will just put a piece of white paper behind it and hang it on the wall. I know you said to put it in the window but I don't want to risk having it fall and break...yeah, I have tried to grow cat-grass in the past, I didn't have very good luck either... Your Momma is coming up soon, should be a great visit. I bet you feel like I have done for years...I miss my people and when they visit I am so happy. Once they go home I have a bad day or so because they are not around anymore *sniff*
