Before I went to bed I posted a picture of the lights at the Theatre on my Facebook wondering if anyone was interested. Three friends shared it and I awoke to interest from a person in Kamloops as well as further inquiry later in the day. I got permission from the Board to make deals as I see fit and sparred back and forth. Seems most people are seeking free gear for the take-a-way. I understand the plight of small arts groups and it may come down to that in the end but for now I will continue to try to sell them at a reasonable price to bring in some funds for our small group.
I joined my friends for pancake breakfast complete with Mimosas and it was delish! Next I was off to Home Hardware to see if the fencing on clearance was still available. There wasn’t much left but I picked up all the supplies I needed (I hope) for only $321 which is a good deal indeed. I managed to fit it all in my car even to bring it home. As the project progresses there will be more pictures.
On the way to Home Depot I saw the newest art installation in town. I didn’t capture it from the best angle, nor does the picture show the way it gleams in the sun but it is quite the detailed work.
After mowing the lawn in the heat and unpacking the car it was time for a bit of lunch and a break so I started watching Horrible Bosses. I am pretty sure this would have been most men’s favourite Jennifer Aniston movie but honestly with a cast like it had I was sadly disappointed. And oh no I just saw that there is a Sequel.. I shall be skipping that.
Headed over for dinner and many games of crib, few of which Shea and I won tonight. It’s funny with cards, often it is an on or off for one team or the other. When I got home I watered my garden and noted Tomatoes growing!! Simple pleasures are wee harvests and I have been enjoying my strawberries and now am looking forward to cherry tomatoes.
I decided I should bring the day trundle bed in that Danika had given me and put it together which turned out to be a challenge single handed and on top of it the thermometer reads 28 Celcius in my house. I was exhausted and boiling when I was done so settled on the couch with cold water to research the cost of an exterior door with a sliding window with screen. May have to order one in to get airflow as it is much cooler outside at the moment. Looks like the door only will be $315 and will take up to 8 weeks but at least I will be ready for next year.
When it was time to shut it down and come blog I couldn’t find my iPhone. My iPad was in the middle of an update so I swung for the fence and said, “Hey Google I wish you could find my iphone” there was a pause and then it said, “would you like me to call your phone ending in 9432?” I said yes and finally found it down between items in the room where I had been putting the bed together! I love my automation! Didn’t even know that could happen.
I have been thinking the last two days about legacies for some reason. I wish there was a way to preserve a digital life like a time capsule. I wouldn’t want this blog to disappear just because I wasn’t paying for it anymore. It is a slice of life during these changing times. It preserves thoughts and feelings for my future generations. Maybe no one will really care but maybe they will. The idea has floated around in my brain for a while also that once someone dies there should be an automatic conversion of their Facebook, Instagram etc to In Memorium pages. How wonderful for people to have the photos and videos and memories for ever. It would make sure the presence was kept but delete reminders of birthdays etc. Just a thought..
