Wow, so much going on around here.  As you know (if you've been a regular reader), we've been renovating a house for my folks - again (they decided the other house was too big, so are moving back into the little blue house - our LBH, LOL).  Just about done that - I'm laying the laminate wood floor in the living room this week, and that s/b about the last of the major work... though we do still have to install the doors on the new closet in that same room, and I also have to grout the ceramic tile at both doors... but those are minor things.

On top of all that, Bill was off on a mine shutdown for the month of August, and when he went back to work in Sept there was a 2-week notice waiting for him, and he was laid off (sigh)... so he's been looking for a job, and had a few offers - we almost ended up in Holland, but they started getting nit-picky on the contract, and he decided they might be difficult to work with.  However, he was offered a job with a mine in Campbell River BC, which sounds interesting.  He flew out yesterday, and starts work today!

However, if things work out (he's doing a 3-month trial, where they pay his living expenses), then we'll be moving to the island... which will be quite a change for us!  We've already looked at a couple of houses on-line, but don't want to rush in to anything at this point.... though a new adventure is always exciting!

Anyway, just finished Creativ last weekend (in Mississauga), and was just lovely to see so many of you there!  One more show and I'm done that side of things for the year, then we're heading to Florida to relax, so I'm going to keep this short and sweet, and I have 2 newsletters to write, and some flooring to lay before bed (wink)... I hope to have more news on the move soon, but realistically it may be February before we make a final decision!
