Good morning from the city!  Yes we managed to finish closing up yesterday.  Just in time to finish up with a bowl of soup at the Lark restaurant, our farewell lunch celebration.  Until next spring then, adios to our friends who are permanent residents, and those who will remain for a few more weeks.

  As I was saying we had a bowl of soup for lunch.  Then on our drive home we were already working on refining our list, for things that needed to be completed at home!  What list?  The list I had inadvertently started at the lake, thinking that I would have a bit of a breather once we got home.  Wrong!

  This morning projects include, one garden hose to put away, some more bottle sorting, and then to drop them off at recycling.  Then we still have to go to the big city for a stop at Costco and Safeway for groceries.  Plus Susan and I both have Chiropractor appointment's at 3pm, before we can return home.

  When we return home we have to start getting the house ready for the kids, and grandchildren.  They start arriving for our Canadian Thanksgiving weekend Thursday night!  Oh yes, "Boots" will be here for the weekend as well!  I am thinking he will still have his cone of shame on when he arrives.  Nicole has also Informed me that in the future when he goes out he will be wearing his harness and leash!  They are definitely turning him (Boots) into a refined gentleman!  Nicole you will have to trim his cone down in size, so it looks like one of those old English collars.  He will look like quite like a gentleman don't you think!!! Hahahah!!!  Poor Mr. Pooo!  I am siting here trying not to fall off the couch this morning!  I think perhaps my med's are doing wonderful things for me.

  Anyways I believe it is almost time for Susan to get out of bed for some hot-tub time, (the one thing I miss at the lake) gather up our plans for the day at Building the Simple life..........................
