Sunday Evening
Hi all,
Been a pretty unexciting weekend, we have not been doing to much, tidying up, taking turns taking care of Elizabeth. I took her shopping with me this morning to give Roanna a few hours alone to catch up on sleep. Roanna made a bottle for her so he got some of that, the Grandparents stopped by later in the afternoon for a quick visit.
Yesterday we had a supprise, a family that lives in the same block had brought Elizabeth a gift, a really plush blanket and a rattle in a stuffed rabbit. It was quite a supprise, we have passed each other and exhanged hello's, they have two kids a boy and a girl, if I see them usually from the balcony when I am at the BBQ, we I say hello to the kids and such. Honestly we don't even know their names!!! but they got us a gift, I was walking with Elizabeth to calm her down and went outside, they family were playing in the tennis court, and the girls came over to give us the gift. Again it was VERY unexpected, and nice.
Roanna had a visit from her old next door neighbour and friend, Marla, her family lives in Pincer Creek, about two hours south of Calgary. Roanna hasn't seen them since our wedding, though we they exchanged cards throughout the year. I was at work so I didn't get to see her.
Speaking of work back tomorrow, wrapping furniture for shipping, I'll try no to damage any this day.... I don't know, give me new furniture and a tape gun with serrated edges and you are just asking for trouble... (those who KNOW me are probably shaking their heads right now).
I told Roanna, it was the first place I have worked at where they *buzz* you to work, to break, back to work, and home.... Kinda feels like school again. It was funny, people will drop what they are doing, machines will turn off and EVERYONE heads to the break room in a mad rush.
Anyhoo, guess it is time to do a last minute tidy, and head off to bed, I already made my lunch for tomorrow, dinner is already made as well for the night. I made pot of spagetti sauce, so possible Tuesday we will make a couple of pans of spinach canaloni. I was cleaning out the cupboard two weeks ago and found no less than 8 bags or boxes of pasta. So this week I have been going through the pasta. At least I'm not in Bermuda, at least 2/3 rds of the pasta woulda been full of wevals by now.
Night all,
Ian, Roanna & Elizabeth.

Hi Ian and Roanna and Elizabeth,
Wow it's been a month gone already, seems like just yesterday Elizabeth made her grand entrance,lol.And congrats on your new job and hope it isn't too much to put up with. Yes being buzzed in and out is something we as Bermudians are definately not used to. I never knew how much leeway I was given working at home until I came to the States. No CP time, having to clock in, short lunch hours that you had to clock in and out too, way to much paperwork just applying for work. It's just a fact of life these days huh. Today is Memorial Day here,unofficial start of summer, hotdogs, hamburgers and good fattening greeze, hehehe. Love to all, you guys take care of yourselves
love Linda

I think I have only had one job where I had to "clock in" Think I lasted about 2 or 3 weeks!

Man those bugs really...well bugged me! Nothing worse than putting a bunch of pasta in the pot...then up come the critters. Although I have to admit they were a good source of protien and added a little crunch.

Exactly. People pay big bucks for "organic" and we got (or get depending on your location) it for free!!
Box remember even the freezer was not a safe haven...you waged war on a bunch of ants in my freezer...stupid ants.
