06-01-21 June is pool time!
Today was … full. My Ancestry DNA test arrived and I am intrigued to see how the results compare to the 23andMe one I took. While registering the kit, I popped into my existing Family tree and see mostly my Father’s side. The other is what I am curious about. I never learned enough and the family left don’t know much either. I saw a spot to click to check immigration papers tied to the tree and up popped the first Bellavances to enter Canada, in 1644, Louis (32) with his wife Marie (22) and their 2 year old daughter, Louise. That was amazing as I have always known about Louis but not the family with him. As it happens my granddaughter’s middle name is Louise! How cool is that? An old family name and they didn’t even know it.
I received a text from Danika asking if the pool was set up and I decided it was a good day to get it going as it is so hot this week. It is dirty and it was a lot of work for me to get it ready for water by myself. I will scrub it and filter the dirt out before anyone gets in. It was so hot while setting it up that I have never been more grateful for a life decision than getting AC. The temp went up over the course of the evening even! 33 outside but a refreshing 21 inside. I was even able to have a nice dinner and finish one puzzle before starting another.
At 8:31 I placed the first FaceTime call to my mom and at 9:33 we gave up trying to solve the connection issue and she is going to go to the Telus shop tomorrow. I think there are a combination of things going on between her Telus phone and her Shaw internet.
The day started off rough for friends on Salt Spring Island as their business, Windsor Plywood burnt down. It is the only store of it’s kind there and employs as well as supplies many people. I know they will rally to get up and functioning again. Ken and Mike are amazing business men with hearts of gold. I wish them all the Best.
