I made a comment to a friend how I would like to buy a super cheap, old trailer so we could gut it and fill it with bunk beds. I like camping and living outdoors but I am starting to wish that we had something with hard sides for the sleeping part. I don’t like bears. I’m tired of trying not to ‘worry’ when we are out in our flimsy tents in paid campgrounds with our cooking smells like 5 feet away from us. At least in the wilderness you cook away from camp.
As I was explaining this to my friend she exclaimed that a mutual friend was selling their’s. We went and had a look right away, and I was hoping that Kent would agree with my enthusiasm when he got home to see it. He wasn’t quite so much – he always see’s the work – but he was keen enough, that we bought it.
And after a whole ridiculous rigmarole with the licencing place (like 4 visits worth of stupidness) we are FINALLY the owners, and attaching the plates to prove it 🙂 Hello summer!!
Her sweatshirt says live, laugh, run (even though you can’t tell. I would be a much better photographer if I showed you that instead of told you 🙂 It’s a bit of an oxymoron that she is on the computer! Thankfully a lot more running is happening than is screen time.
I am feeling sooooooooooo thankful that after 2 months, Kent is home for good. No occasional weekend passes, but home to stay 🙂 The program that he has been on in Vancouver has done wonders for his back, so we are also feeling very grateful for that. He is moving well, feeling strong, just still struggling to sit. To say the last 6 months have been challenging is an understatement. It is not easy going forward, but at least we are together.
I gave my bike to Sequoia last summer, was using a borrowed bike from a friend that I gave back last fall, and was hence bikeless. I needed one!! I love a simple deal…..checked out a 2nd hand one this morning, bought it on the spot, and was out playing with it this afternoon!!
Spinning tops and flashy lights are pretty enticing for a little sister…..
What started as innocently feeding the ducks, quickly turned into a mud fest…..
It might be the dumbest decision I ever made, but I signed up for a marathon. Oh dear. I better get my butt moving. I need to do some ‘speedwork’. Apparently that’s good for me. It doesn’t feel like it. I was doing sprints at the track with my motley crew, since I don’t have many other options, but to take them!!
He’s always happy when he is winning. Not so much when he’s losing!!
The kids usually run down the sidewalk/footpath when we have visitors leaving us, waving and prolonging the departure. We are saying bye to family who are going on a grand tour of the States for 6 months in the motorhome. Bon Voyage, happy trails 🙂
