Rolling Rolling Rolling!

Ron & Bailey enjoying the day.

The past couple of days have been filled with things that “Roll”.  We had a mix bag of weather over the past few days but that didn’t stop things from rolling!

We had a very calm day with little to no wind.  Ron thought it was perfect weather to try and fly his plane.  He had been waiting until he had a day without wind (rare so far).  He had the perfect runway … our driveway!  He had paced it out and he had over 330 ft of landing strip to take off on!  It took him a while to used to flying again but he had such a good time trying.  He managed to get the plane down the runway and up into flight.  He flew it for a while and then came in for a landing.  He was going to land it on our new garage site as it was nice and flat.  As he approached the landing site it looked good … but then he fell short of it and nosed dived the plane to a standing straight up position. A few other landings put him in the next door neighbors yard.  I thought he kept landing it there hoping they would come out so we could meet them!  Lol  He had a great time!

Ron also managed to get to use his new ride on lawn mower.  He told me that he was just going to adjust the height of the blades and the next thing I knew he was driving past the house!  He had so much fun mowing the lawn.  He only did the front yard, which is about a third of our property, but because we have 4 acres our front yard is pretty big.  It took him about 2 hours to do it.  At one point he picked up Bailey and the two of them mowed a couple of strips together.  Bailey just sat in Ron’s arms as he wheeled his way around the yard.  I think he rather liked it!

Yesterday we received some good news!  All our belongings have been loaded onto the trucks and is on its way out to PEI.  It should get out here in about 10 days!  We have some very good friends in Chilliwack who have been looking after our things in storage for us.  Dean has been kind enough to go and do regular check-ins on our things to make sure that they are still where they are supposed to be.  It gave us great peace of mind knowing that our things were safe and sound.  Thanks Dean! 

Our friend Dennis was able to go and supervise the loading of the trucks.  Dennis has done many a move that involved hired movers so he knew what to look for if anything was to go amiss.  They spent from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. to load everything.  Dennis kept us up to date with photos as to how it was progressing.  We were very excited to see the last photo of the trucks rolling away from the storage unit.  Thanks Dennis for a job well done! 

The last little bit of news I’d like to share is I got my hair cut!  It has been so windy here that every time I left the house my hair would fly in my face and would be a mess!  I couldn’t stand it any longer.  It may sound funny, but I really liked the barber that cut Ron’s hair so I had him ask her if she did ladies cuts.  She said yes … so I went to the Barber Shop and had my hair cut.  It felt a little weird sitting there among all the men waiting for my turn as I was the only woman in the place.  I had time to watch her to see how she did her other clients hair.  She was fast but every one of them turned out great.  I had no doubt that she would do a nice job with my hair … and I was right!  She took a long time to do my hair.  I had taken a couple of photos to show her how my hair used to be years ago.  She kept cutting and cutting then cut some more.  By the time she was finished I wondered whether I would have any hair left!  When she turned me around to look in the mirror, it was exactly what I wanted her to do!  It felt so good to have my hair short again!  When I stepped out into the wind all I felt was wind … no hair flying in front of my face.  Right then I knew I had made the right choice to get it cut.  It will also be nice for when we go in the hot tub.  I won’t have to tie it up any more, I can just get right in.  What do you think of the new me?  Did I do the right thing?  J

Well that is all for now.  We are still loving the house and can’t wait until our things arrive from BC.  Thanks for checking in and stay tuned for more updates to follow.
