So you two are gallivanting all over the country while I serve my time as an unofficial ladder spotter, "gofer", and target for water and mud. Torrential rain this morning, so our eaves trough strategy will be tested. The family didn't come for supper last night, so after the eaves troughs were done, we spent the rest of the day puttering. Then I realized that I was working hard trying to tidy up the basement and studio--which is impossible because the walls are still torn up and my boxes etc are still scattered all over everywhere. ( I had to shift three big Rubbermaid tubs last night just so that I could see the TV.)

Next week the meetings etc. start again. Back into the frey. Summer is over--wait a minute--when did it start? Did I miss it? It is just so "Winnipeg" to see people on the streets and in malls in their shorts, but wearing jackets. The weather forecast has changed to rain all week, so it looks like David will not be going to the lake with his sister. I was quite loooking forward to it. But I still haven't started the spring cleaning ( if summer never comes, I guess I'm not overdue with this task??), and really should get down to it. We had planned to paint the kitchen this year, but the trips to the lake wrote that off. I won't mention it again as I think I would rather have the basement back in shape. I think maybe I'm just having my own private Pity Party.
