Two weeks today we leave our little slice of Paradise to move to a new home. It will be a bit busier and not as isolated (part of the reason for the move).
I love living in the Okanagan and we arent moving too far away but I will miss these neighbours (I'm guessing fawns are due soon)

I missed this. .I'll keep watching for things to get better. ✨️
My eyes haven't been good and partly because my cataracts are acting up....still a ways from surgery...I hope.
Keep healing.

Truly.

Reviewing a few things for this year. Not bad for my 70th trip around the sun.
I've read 46 books (so far)
I've crocheted about 2 dozen small to large projects
I've (ok we) bought, sold and moved a home.
I've spent quality time with friends and family.
I've actually embraced home baking...a bit.

It was great wonderful weird baseball the last two games (only ones I watched 😉)
No need to be gutted it was decent baseball and the Dodger stars earned their keep.

Yep until JD and his girlfriend the Widow Kirk can take over.
Oh happy days

BC is ready (we had a referendum) but because of some stupid agreement from the 1940's we have to wait for California, Oregon and Washington to stop the time change madness

I would dearly love to see a special episode of The Crown. One that has the conversations that led to this moment.

So Krema is worth trying?

Glad you enjoyed
We watched, we hoped, and now we don't care. It's a brilliant game with lot's of nuance...I enjoyed the strategy needed and the flukes that control it all.

I'm blaming a couple of good friends...I'd say online because that's where we spend a lot of time but we spent a lot of real time together this year

Have you read any of Genivieve Graham? She writes about the ugly side of our history.

I've actually accumulated a list of great Canadian writers.

I've learned patience...anything to save $$$
Just started a book this week that came out in April...I think I waited too long and I was about 300th in line. Nice to know so many of my neighbours have great taste in books.

Your head's up got me in line fast 👍

Does a refinery worker in Texas have a hangnail again??

Or is this because those massive oil producing countries of Jamaica and Cuba were hit by a hurricane?

PS huge hugs to everyone in Jamaica, Cuba, Haiti and Donimican Republic for the horrendous damage from Melissa 😔 💔

Gas prices take overnight jump in North Okanagan #VernonBC

Gas prices take overnight jump in North Okanagan - Vernon News

It was nice while it lasted. For a brief period, gas in Vernon was a “mere” 127.9 cents a litre as some stations, with the majority sitting at 129.9.
