I have a place!

I am so excited!  I have found a perfect place through a friend and can move in immediately. So I will take my time and move in slowly and get it just exactly the way I want it. It's in a great area for shopping and walking.  I can get out with Lacey and there are lots of walking trails around and I can walk to shop if I have to.  It is small with 2 bedrooms, kitchen, living room, laundry in suite, nice balcony, underground secure parking and it's in a locked secure building with intercom.  I can see the front door and intercom from my suite. There is nobody below me and there is nobody on the one side of the suite so it should be fairly quiet.

Things have been very busy and I have been feeling very well and peaceful. I have been spending time with family and friends and enjoying the gorgeous weather we have been having this month. I spent a few days in at Moms.  She had to have her kitty put down and she was really sad and depressed. We went to a cat rescue place and she adopted two older cats.  Both fixed etc. so she is feeling much better.  Her and I are going to Victoria in a week and we are both looking forward to it. We plan on doing some walking and touristy stuff.  :)

My last trip up to Celista was great.  The Celebration of Life was very nice and lots of friends and family came. Sue and Peter might be heading down to the coast in the next week or two so I will get a chance to see them again before the fall sets in.  I would like to make one more trip up before the snow flies.  We'll see how it goes.

Heading back to Celista

I am heading up to Celista on Thursday and will be up there for a few days. Sue may be coming back down with me for a few days too. Josh and I took Lacey out today and ended up in Yarrow. We stopped in a park and took a few pictures with his new lens. The pictures turned out pretty good! Josh took the ones of me and I took the pics of him.

Time flies.....

Wow, time does fly and I'm a bad blogger. All is fine with me. Life's ups and downs. I'm still living with my middle son for the next few months. He and his older brother are heading to Thailand for 3 weeks and I will be here until he gets back. Then I will start looking for my own place. As Josh says, there is no great hurry. We can look until we find the perfect place for me.

I would like to find a place that is within the shopping core. Right now I have my car but I may not always have it and so I have to make sure I am close to shopping. I also have my kitty and dog. Both are litter trained and house pets so we'll see how that goes.

I have been up to Celista once already this summer for 3 weeks and I am heading back up this week. Pete's mom Sandy passed away last week and they will be holding a Celebration of Life for her out at Sue and Pete's place. Lots of family and friends. She was a lovely warm person who will be greatly missed.

Mom's birthday is coming up in a few weeks and my brother and his wife and mom and I will be going out for dinner to celebrate. Then the first week of September mom and I are going to go over to Victoria and spend a few days at the Empress. With my brother Steve working for Fairmont it gives us good rates. My cousin Michael who lives in Victoria has cancer and mom and I would like to go over and have a visit. We are going to take the bus I think because we really don't need the car and it is expensive. This way we can just relax and enjoy and let someone else drive.

The girls and I want to have a camping weekend too. We are thinking we might do it at Judes as she has a nice big private back yard and we can lock ourselves in, pitch some tents, fire up the grill and just vegetate and read and visit and eat.....mmmm sounds heavenly. She has a hot tub too so we can just enjoy!

Now I am making some potato salad and then I am going to take Miss Lacey and a blanket and head over to the park on the corner and read and relax.

I love this little face.
