 Hello my friends:

Summer has escaped us, and fall is in full swing. The weather has been beautiful here; warm sunny days and cool evenings. It could stay like this forever and I'd be happy. With the USA/Canada border closed until the end of October, and maybe longer, we have decided to hunker down and spend the winter here. At least till the end of the year. The jury is still out on whether we will go if they open the border in the new year. 

So this summer has been a time of projects. Michel has been busy carpentering.... in between eye surgeries. Here are the screen doors he just finished. Looking pretty good eh??



The deck is another story. We are still waiting for the Deck paint from Home Hardware, so I don't think that will be a this year project. 

Michel's second eye surgery on his right eye was in Vancouver on September 24th. so we had to make the trip. I wasn't impressed, because that meant I would have to drive in Vancouver, because he couldn't drive after surgery or the next day....but all went well and driving in Vancouver wasn't that bad! We went up on the 22nd and spent 3 nights. His pre-op was on the 23rd and his post-op was on the 25th. They were very accommodating and his post-op appointment was at 7:30 a.m. so we were out of there by 9 and on our way home. His eye is doing very well, healing and his sight is getting better every day.  

And... as for me, same old, same old. I've been building dolls! More outside yard art. They are all sprayed with two coats of Varathane to help protect them from the weather and the UV rays, so I would think they will be fine outdoors in the summer....I wouldn't put them out in the spring~!

So, if you are ready, here they are....(there are lots of them - lol)










That's all for now! Thanks for reading!
