Swings

I've got new tires! Or tyres as we spell it at home. I guess that means Dad can have his rims back now that I'd temporarily borrowed oh like in October. So, thank you dad. He's the greatest. He knows how hard we're working and struggling and just never seem to get ahead and so he's forgiven the loan he gave me for my van and also any other money I owe him, and he bought me 4 new tires. I cannot tell you the relief that is not being in debt to him anymore. Though I'd still like to pay him something as we are able, or at least take good care of him in his old age...you know I used to say that a lot but now that I'm marrying a man the same age, perhaps I shouldn't joke about it anymore.

John, Lynne and Shawn her beau popped over for a bit and invited Steve to a BBQ after they play golf so he'll get to spend some time with them which will be good. John is bringing Annie and Autumn over for a visit and I'm babysitting them on Tuesday morning which will be good. I miss them and they're only small for such a short time. I'll post some pics.

Chris is up at the mini-golf at the moment helping Grandad and he's staying over and coming home tomorrow evening. He's still working at the Farmers Market, I think he's really going to miss it once he can't go anymore, but the cost of gas is so high he doesn't make enough to pay the fuel needed to get there and back. At least if he's driving up with my dad and working then dad is paying the tab. And they get to spend some time together which is good for both of them.

Dad and Janet bought a house in Strawberry Vale, West Saanich, just outside Victoria on Vancouver Island which is where we live btw. I'm excited for them to have a place to call their own and looking forward to the wedding in August.

I'm looking forward to getting the divorce finished for Steve and his ex too, though now she's contesting the divorce so it will take a little longer. At some point I know it'll happen and I just have to be patient, I just want it NOW!! LOL! It'll be really nice once we're married and working full-time again and can afford to buy our own place too. I guess these things take time though don't they, and the older I get, the more aware I am that there's less and less time together. But then I'm reminded that we have all of eternity and so not to worry, that this whole earth life will seem as a blink of an eye.

I'm going to get going and clean some more. Check in with you soon.
