I love it when home feels like home.

This is how I can tell if it Rained in Vancouver !




I have really enjoyed being home this weekend. I think its because it feels like a refuge and I like that alot. Music sounds great in the space and I could sit down and doze off and not think about what I should accomplish or where I would rather be. There are books I have wanted to read, a photo studio in the garage I want to set up, pictures I need to go through and scan onto the computer and many more projects that linger in my head. Today I don't care about all that stuff. That feels really good. Moving is such a big ordeal. A big thank you to those who helped me. Truly.
(my boys, one resting and one working)

My kids and thier friends( I paid in pizza and beer)
and friends from work and a nice girlfriend - My new lampshade? or how to carry less and still make it look like your working? Parker at his best. Thank god for muscles and someone who can just say..... what's the problem. This will be easy.


I wouldn't have made it! A few minutes ago the door rang and when I answered it, it was some girls from the local school looking for non-perishable food items for the homeless. NIce. So I checked the pantry and decided to go for something healthy and something that was a treat. 2 cans of tuna and a chocolate brownie mix. It feels good to do something to help someone else. It's easy. Why don't I do that more often?Maybe I should do something different this Christmas? I am going to think about it.
Even though it costs us a lot of money to have warm nice places to live.... we have jobs.... and we have skills that allow us to get those good jobs. Thanks to our parents and mentors who helped us get where we are today... See how one knock at the door can make you appreciative. There are messages everywhere in this world.

I have had a lot of "I hear you have moved"..... and I thought I would invite my friends who are too far away to come for a visit. I took some pictures because well pictures are worth a thousand words they say.
