Hello Winter!!

 
Well, I did manage to get the front cleaned up and about half the jobs done for Fall, but I wasn't counting on Winter hitting so hard so fast! The motorcycle is still sitting covered in the driveway- haven't ordered the firewood, and there's kid toys in the back yard that may not be seen again until Spring.
I managed last pay to buy pedals and shoes for the bike and did get a ride in to work (because the mountain bike is acting up), what a great ride- looking forward to doing a little tweaking with the fit and getting out next year with it. Actually next buy is an indoor trainer too set the bike on to stay in "riding form" for the winter.
Report cards came home yesterday for the boys- the averages are looking pretty good, and it's nice to see they've left themselves a little room to apply themselves a little more- give them something to do over the season.
Not as much time as I thought to update, I'll try again in a few days. Ta.

Where does the time go??

Last weekend Olivia had a game in Kitchener against Waterloo. I seldom read my emails at home- or at least I get to them every week or two when I sit down at the computer with a coffee and catch up on those that haven't been deleted yet. So, I missed the one with directions to the arena- Moses. I Google mapped the directions from Toronto to the arena since Shelah and I would be coming from that direction- an r&r night at the Royal York- but I tried to call Hailey for her address...since she lives in Kitchener and wanted to come to the game. I'm not much on "addresses" and street names if I've been somewhere before, I just travel by feel. So Haileys new apartment- not so new now, I just get to by feel so couldn't plug into the Google maps. But Hailey wasn't home...and apparently I missed her return message, but, on the way back from Toronto we stopped at Hailey's and I asked her to Google to the arena on her computer. She looked at the address of the arena and said " I think that's close". I said "that's nice, could you just look up the directions so that we don't have to go back the highway and come back into the city?" She humored me and came back shortly with her laptop- map with pinpoints showing. I could see the pinpoints were overlapping. "See where these points are and the big park behind them?" Hailey asked? I nodded in my confused state, and she said, "look out the window".
Yes, Hailey's apartment was right next door to the arena. What a funny day.
