Patty you have written a few messages all in a row and I feel that I am falling behind again but then we aren't supposed to feel any such thing when we blog , are we? Just kidding... I write when I can even though I look excitedly every day for messages from you two.
I am a step closer to owning my car. Had the safety inspection done today which I had to pay for. Something called bushings needed to be replaced on the wheels which I also had to pay for. Then I saw the Financial Manager re: purchase and guess what, I now have to pay for the car as well. haha. I go next Wednesday to finalize it all. But they did give the car a much needed car wash which was apparently free.
I went to violin lessons yesterday and I cannot seem to catch onto using the metronome appropriately- I was told I had no sense of tempo. So I asked for some exercises in order to try to improve and I will try but I don't know if it is something that I will ever catch onto to. I remember when I took piano lessons and I had the same problem. But since I also bought a nice new digital metronome I guess I better get with the program eh? So as you can see, I am in the same boat as you Patty and your dilema with your camera and picture taking.
Tonight I watch Republic of Doyle on CBC at 9 pm. It is a new series that started a few weeks ago - I can't say I really love it, but it gives me something to look forward to and it is Canadian. Set in St John's Newfoundland and is akin to the old TV series The Rockford Files. And then I guess starting next week it will be 24/7 Olympic coverage for two weeks. It showed on the News tonight all the dump trucks hauling in snow from 2 hours away to the Cypress Mountains for the events. I'm sure glad not to be one of the Organizers with all the worries of the weather making or breaking the success of the show in front of the whole world. I can create my own little worries right here at home. For example, Harry has bought many many tickets with all his accumulated points on the Radio Station that I told you about - but the draw is for a 52 inch TV and because he is using all his points just to buy tickets for the draw, he probably will have a good chance to win. So then I ask myself how will a 52 inch TV ever fit into the front room - our present TV is about 36 inches and is big enough for the space that we have.
We put together a picture puzzle this past week - it is a lovely picture of quilts hanging in a yard and on fences with a sign on the gate saying Quilts for Sale and so colourful with not only the quilts but also flowers and trees and buildings It was hard but also fun - only thing is when all was said and done, there is one piece missing. I suspect that it has fallen on the floor as the little kitten had to be shooed away several times and it may have been lost somehow. I vacuumed today but did not come across it - at least knowingly. So I put the puzle back into the box and away and hope the piece may show up in the next little while- if not, into the garbage it will go.
Well, time to go for now. Take care
