Moving kitchen cupboards

We moved the kitchen cupboards today and like the more room this layout gives.
This will work for now, later I will make a larger window and move the dishwasher over to this wall by the sink.

Our first Owl

We saw this little owl yesterday in our yard, a Northern Pygmy-Owl

Looking back

The weather has improved since we came home and I would like to think we brought it with us. We were sitting at Quartzsite, Arizona in our shorts in 24° heat and having to move into the shade as we were too hot! In two days we were back in Canada - 15° and freezing. If we go south again next year, we will plan on staying until late March or early April. We were away for almost 7 weeks. We had lots to see and do so the time just flew by.
There are thousands of snow birds in Arizona - just a sea of white hair!

We are home

We have enjoyed the sunshine now for 2 days. It gets fairly cool at night -1° this morning at 9:00am and up to 18° this afternoon. We went into Quartzsite this morning and went to some of the flea markets. I even bought stuff! Raymond checked on the temperature at Quartzsite for the next few days and it looks good with temperatures around 24°.

HAPPY 65th BIRTHDAY RAYMOND

Molly

February 1, 2007

I called the Parker Animal Hospital at 9:30 am and was told that they had talked with our vet in Olds and she wanted Molly to be checked before getting any more medicine. We attended at Parker Animal Hospital at 11:00 am and Molly had her temperature taken, her vitals checked and got weighed. The vet said she was in good health and prescribed enough pills for carry Molly over until we get back home. They were very nice at the Parker Animal Hospital.We had a beautiful sunny day today and spent the afternoon basking in the warm rays. We plan on staying here until Monday

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUSAN! HOPE YOU ARE HAVING A WONDERFUL DAY

We drove into Palmer this morning as we had mega chores to do:

Oil for Raymond to change oil in the truck

Find a veterinary place and get Molly some more of her steroids. We attended the Parker Animal Hospital and they advised that they had the required medicine but they needed a prescription from our vet. We phoned the Chinook Country Vet Clinic in Olds and they said they would fax the required info.

Found a Laundromat and I proceeded to do 3 loads of laundry. This was the day that everyone else decided to do laundry so it took awhile.

Raymond went to fill up with gas and fill the propane bottle.

We went back to the vets and were told that the vet clinic in Olds had faxed the wrong info. Our vet in Olds was not in until later in the day and she had to fill out a prescription and fax it to the Parker vet. There is a federal law in Arizona that they will not fill any prescription without paperwork from the official vet. We will have to make another trip tomorrow to get the pills and this will be another 66 km trip.

We got groceries at Safeway.

We got 4 videos so we had something to do at night besides play cards and Yahtzee.

We drove back to the trailer, got our shorts on, Raymond changed the oil in the truck and it rained! Oh well, there is always tomorrow!
