I did create two new posts and now they have taken a flight to the land of cyber space. I viewed them last night however they have vanished this morning.
Today is a holiday but I am at work...the pool was open so I went swimnming. The sun is out and I am inside.
But Spring is coming...this I am sure of!!

Post number two of 2008
This morning (the only day I had to sleep in) started at 630am. The sun is starting to come up earlier and earlier every morning; Im confident we WILL have an early Spring:)
We went to the Legion for breakfast this morning with our friends Rick and Colette. Our days plan was to travel to Brockville to visit some friends however there is 2 large storms on their way and we dont want to experience 6 hrs of freezing rain while we are travelling:( So we cancelled the trip.
Im trying to remember how to post pictures on here...lets try an experiment :
That is my pal Jethro with a swiffer-thingy around his head. Bill did this while I was at work one day. Then he had balls enough to take the picture too:)
Billy is out playing on his 4 wheeler...last I saw him was out on the ice. What a kid he is:)

Welcome back to me
I believe I should use this place again...it may actually keep me off crackbook!!!
Today was spent viewing through a few of my posts and I realized how much I miss blogging. Maybe I can even post a few pictures up here instead of facebook.
So many things have changed since I posted last April...new house...new job...sigh Where do I begin?
One day last May, we saw that our favourite little house (the one we always secretly wanted to buy) was up for sale in the village and the first open house was the next day. Of course we went, of course we loved what we saw and of course we bought! From the time we looked at the place to the time we moved was less than 6 weeks...this included PREPARING (as that was a f***ing job in itself) our old house to be placed on the market. (I had three days notice and we had to paint, clean, de-clutter and stage the place and have it presentable for an open house)It is amazing which friends show up to help when needed. (sidenote: I probably lost my job because I had 3 vacation days left to use before July & used them to prep the house - the managedment was not happy and held it against me when it was time to decide who to cut out of the department - water under the bridge tho)
So we sold our house to a girl who I used help my friend Linda Poudrier babysit when we were young teens. She (Stephanie) has three boys and certainly could use the room that our old house had. It was way too big for Mr c and I, thats for sure. So we had a full summer here on the water and loved every minute of it. Billy built me a huge deck in the front of the house and I spent my 2 week holiday there at the end of july and beginning of August. Then I went back to work for a few weeks and the company I worked for decided to downsize my department & I drew the short straw. They demoted me from a Quality Assurance Specialist to an agent taking calls for bell Canada and being forced to sell Long Distance Plans, Satellite Dishes and High Speed Internet packages. I managed to do that for a month then had to leave. I left that exact job when Startek opened in July 2001. A job was advertised at Assurant Solutions, another call center in the city, so I applied and was hired. It took me three hours to say goodbye to some old friends at Startek on the day I went back to 'quit'...I cried all the way home, not because I would miss my job, but because I would miss all those great people I had spent many hours with at that building. Even though it was only an employer housed in that building, I had many memories of the people there who touched my life. We all went through 911 together, as well as deaths births and marriages. Enough of that...its a chapter of my life that is now closed.
Ok time for dinner, I need to carry on tomorrow maybe. Thank for reading my blog.
