Sun, 01-11-2009 - 9:54am

Got back from brandon las night. Grant and i left late afternoon friday. work finally gave out christmas bonus' So we went and stayed in brandon friday night in a motel. Shopped a bit friday.
Saturday we went to value village and i got some cool bottles and two more pots for thomas' leaving home stuff...LOL hint hint!!
No seriously he and i talkeda year ago and he wanted my olddish set and said don't though stuff out he could use in he home...so i have been saving for him.
We went to the re store. It is a store of stuff that they have torn out of homes and building and resell. we you will never guess what we got for $400.00

A corner jetted bathtub!!!! So excited!! we have talked about slowly starting to collect stuff for the new bathroom , and this was step one!!

So we get home and thomas is always wanting something. often i don't make him pay us back ...even for his part of the cell bill. He will pick up stuff for us from time to tine when i ask. So when will we be home he has something in the truck for us and needs a hand unloading it .
So we get a call half way home....when are you getting here. we my hubby..."mr trucker" in the oilfield and know all the roads...missed our turn. we ended up a a town just north of the turtle mountains on the 10 south. I know jo will know the name...it escapes me now. Boissevain.Boom!! Blizzard. White out conditions!could barely seeSo west we went past delorane ...got to wascada and we were suddenly out of the storm. About 20 minites from home now.
Ps: after delorane it is gravel till the melita corner...then pierson and home. Crazy drive, i tell you! We had to get hom dh had a rig move today.

So what was in the truck?? 16 sheats of gyproc (walboard) so we could finish more stuff in the house faster.So nice...now that is love!

LOL i know i forgot to tell you something....

Oh ya thomas got a call about 5am. A shop/shed on fire. Storthoaks is about 10-15 minites north of here. The farm was 2 miles south.
So thomas hops in his car to go get the water bus.Gets a call about 5 minites later...forget it a rig water truck put what was left of it out. The guys was vary lucky the shed was across the yard.He lost the shop stuff(usually tools and men stuff is in them like a garage but a lot bigger.). They lost 3 trucks, the wifes van, anda new quad(4x4)

Oh blizzard warning 10 minites aprox 10 minite south on the boarder...so i am betting we will get one soon too!

this town and area is so old school there will never be jobs in thye fire dept here.Sad but true. Besides thomas' boss would just scoop up the money for the bus services.

Ya it sucks not being able to do much these days. i am so use to being self sufficient.

Ya we have mostly new wiring now and still have power bars on most plugins. if they get overloaded in any way the breaker in the bar will snap off. Good and safe. we also have fire alarms and the other ones for chimney leaks and alike

Oh, come on Glenda, tell the truth!! You're not a real person are you?! You're really a character in a soap opera who happens to post on a message board as part of the soap story! Right?! LOL!!


A corner jetted bathtub sounds very sexy! Have fun!!


Very thoughtful thing Thomas did! He's a good boy!!


We're having a super duper wind storm here today, about blew us over when we went grocery shopping! At least it's not snow with it!! Be careful up there!

Morning Pat!!

if it wasn't for super trucker missing our turn we would have missed the whole storm. You know how our men are...don't tell them they are wrong...just would be a fight so i sat white knuckled all the way home!!

i can't wait for the tub guys!! but will be at least a couple months!! need to gut the outside walls and reinsulate before we set up the bathroom!

Thomas is great....wish i could clone one of him for everyone!

Oh, no, you're sick with the flu?! Darn! This cannot be good along with your other health problems. Take extra good care of yourself!


Can't you ask your aunt to not divulge any information about the abusers unless there is a life threatening illness that you should know about? Protect yourself! Don't allow toxic information unless it's something you have to know about.

donna

I was sure they knew i didn't want to know. They knew i didn't want my sis or the rest of them finding anything out about me.My aunt even wrote that in the letter she sent.
I wonder if it is a game to see if i care....started by heather, for sure.
