Moving forward!

So summer has come to an end.  School has started back up for the nieces and nephews.  Weather is changing day by day.

We have accomplished what to most seems like only a little, but to us....it's huge!  The deck is finally done and signed off on, which was the last piece of the puzzle for the whole sign off for the house.  LOL!  And it only took 2 years.

We will always have those small little projects.  Everyone's house always does.  But for now, we can finally settle in and just enjoy it!

Fun times are ahead for us.  Friends and family will visit.  We are gonna get some use out of the smoker and BBQ for sure.

But together we moving forward......to bigger and better things.....who knows what's up next!!!

Passing the time away!

Have you ever wondered why we fill our days with so many things to do?  Errands, shopping, the gym.....the list of things is endless.  Have you ever just stopped?  Spent a day doing absolutely nothing?  For those out there with kids, I know....this never happens!  But doing nothing can be......well, boring. When I "do nothing" it can drive me nuts.  I find that I still need the tv or music on.  A few hours reading a book and having a cup a cup of coffee. We don't always do these things to fill our days because they are needed....we do it because we don't want to be bored!  Bored makes us lazy and actually more exhausted than we are while constantly on the go. We complain about work, but work keeps us busy for the longest period of the day.  We complain about the hour we spend at the gym.....well, for those who do go to the gym.....but it is using up the time that we don't want to be bored! I find myself wanting "to do nothing" but rea...

The cold and dreary weather has finally set in.  A milestone for me.....buying winter boots!  Last year I gave in and bought a new coat so it seemed fitting. Thanksgiving has come and gone (in Canada....US Thanksgiving is coming soon).  With that being said, you know what is right around the corner!! MY BIRTHDAY!!!  LOL!  Oh ya, and Christmas! Mrs. Ree asked me 3 weeks ago when I will be coming to decorate her tree.  She then reminded me last Saturday that she was waiting for a date.....then again this weekend, same thing! Mrs. Ree's Tree 2012 Decorating Mrs. Ree's tree has been a tradition for so many years now, I can't even count them!  But last year was much different. Last year Valerie and Scott moved to BC.  This fact didn't really truly hit me until I went to decorate the tree. It was always just the three of us.  Val and I would start by adjusting the branches after they were crushed from being packed away...

Procrastination

Why?  A question asked all they time. Why do we say we are going to do something but we don't end up doing it? I have many "projects" that I need done or want done.  I keep saying that I am going to do them, but I don't. It's a viscous cycle that gets us no where. Maybe that needs to be one of my "resolutions" for this year.  Accomplish some of the things that have been waiting to get done. 1.  Finish the desk. 2.  Build a gate on the deck. 3.  Clean and tidy the basement. Really, it can be done.  Time to put the mind and body to work so that it will get done!
