I found myself checking weather around the province today just to show how varied our beautiful BC is. I lived in Bella Bella and visited Atlin. Both are close to the west but one is one the coast and one is further north inland. Quite the weather patterns for mid September.
When I went out to check on things after my guests left I saw that the deer had dragged good salad off my scrap pile. Brats.
As I was leaving to head on a mystery shop tour I saw a Neighbour a few doors down had put out a few free items and I knew instantly that I have enough material left from my patio set recover to make a cushion for this for around the fire place. Great hobo mom score!
I finally broke in the motor on my Tucson which is not bad for 7 weeks.
I stopped at Walmart to buy a wee gift for Danika and Emmy as they are at the end of my shop route. While I was there I spent everything I earned from my guests last night on the last of my Nightmare Before Christmas set for Halloween. I already have a Jack and Oogie Boogie. I think I will put them up on the first day of Fall.
What does the Fox say?
I finished my 4 shops and stopped to visit Emmy and her Mom. Her new room is lovely and the pillows I made match perfectly. I had such a good visit with her. She showed me every single detail of her new home, we played a seek and find game with her drawings and she made me laugh every time she stopped to accept a call on the paper cell phone she made. It seems 911 calls her to solve things as she is a super hero. The first call caught me off guard but she answered, “what? There were 17 that escaped last week, how can there be more? OK I am on my way” She liked the little pumpkins I brought her. They live in a very nice place and I am happy for their family. It is also great that her mom gives me and Jake easy access even if they are 163 Km away.
It does crack me up that they leave boot covers near the doors as it is all coal miners that live there.
I stopped at the Marcer’s on the way home to talk all things Jeep. I am still trying to decide whether to move the spare to the quarter panel where it belongs. If it had been a branded tailgate I would have for sure. Will have to think about it. Turns out I need rear leaf springs as well, sigh.
Dinner was tasty, I do like couscous. The servings are so huge that there is enough left for 2-3 more meals. I couldn’t eat all of one serving.
My dear friend Sarah who lives in Bella Bella and I played Patchwork online tonight. It took a while to get it figured out but once we did it was great. I look forward to many more evenings of that. It was a nice relaxing way to end my day.
