All is going as planned here at the Singular Marina - Dry Storage.  We walked over to Walmart last evening after if cooled off. Phew it is getting hot.  We hung around the pool and read our books and had a cervesa yesterday afternoon waiting for the temp to go down.   Around six we left for our walk and had supper at VIPS which is like a White Spot in Canada..........bought a few things  at Wallie World for the next couple of meals and some more duck tape.   Good old duck tape -Cinta Ductos in Spanish.  Our pastor in Courtenay is a great fan of duct tape............does an incredible impersonation of RED GREEN!  You should check him out..............in our favourite links under Faith Family Comox.

Today we are working at the bottom end of the "To DO List".  Talk to you soon!  Two more sleeps Annika and Cole...........Grandma can hardly wait!

MEMORIES……….are made of this!

  I woke up today with a touch of a sore throat; not sick enough to make a request for light duty but uncomfortable to the point of not wanting to do much. I forced myself out of the bunk. You know how it is-- if you sleep during the day --night comes sleepless! Not wanting to waste the day sniffing and drinking tea .. i do prefer coffee……I attempted to keep myself busy with my chores. My interest quickly waned and I found myself at my desk……I began sorting through the small cupboard that acts as our filing cabinet. Yes, reminding me of the past  boat rule: all items must have two purposes which now  applies to our land home……here in the Comox Valley.   As I thought  of past years piled high within these  files of book work and accounts for our lives i managed a smile and reached  into the back section of the  cabinet.     I knew there was one file that held no numbers;  this plain ivory colored manila folder secured wi...
