5C's Que Pasa

…I feel like I got out of bed this morning… still running!!  Saturday we left the girls at home as we raced around town for six hours choosing kitchen appliances, washer, dryer, bathroom stuff, bedroom stuff and packing stuff, etc. I don’t even remember Friday night or what we had for dinner.  I am going [...]

Wonderful things are happening in Mazatlan.  A group of expats have created a community centre from a vision in just a few short months.  There is something for everyone to enjoy from theatre, to a child’s area, to a coffee bar with more to come.  The entire evolution of the process is best explained in [...]

We had so much fun yesterday, from buying a new storage shed to getting lost in Penticton and ending up at our window manufacturer by accident and that opened up a whole new world on things for the house.  We did get to the cabinet company and we now know more that we want to [...]

We are going for the open look in the new house and realized that we will have very little wall space for all our paintings and framed photos!!  Instead we will just be looking out at the lake and nature through many windows. We went to see the showroom at our builders’ but he did [...]

I never got out to Vernon yesterday, my hairdresser had hurt her arm so she could not work.  Meanwhile something else had come up that kept us very busy here at home.  Despite the beautiful day I never ventured outside till 4:00PM….sigh!!  The best laid plans, etc.

Colin did another job on Thursday and yesterday we both did desk work.  We still have to finish unloading the RV, clean it, reorganize etc., etc. but the reality of the work world has taken over. My thoughts are often on the Isla, I check the weather forecast daily, read all the Mexican news and [...]

I am done!!!  Yahoo! Our company year end is the end of February and not due till the end of May.  However our accountant likes to see the completed Colin Jewall Photo Studios Inc. year end before he does our personal taxes which are due the end of April.  So I hurry home and sit [...]
