Block Party


Two weeks ago Tuesday 107 St. Westlock had a block party. Ruth and I went for free donuts at Griegs (I bought some cardstock while there at a discount for the special day)
Then we went and took our donuts over to Refills next door and enjoyed our lattes there (chance to win)
Then on to the Flower shop in the next block. They were giving away free carnations. I thought mine looked kind of puny, it had a green bow ribbon on it. However, this little flower is now over 2 weeks old and still alive. I put it in a tall blue single vase.
They used to have it Friday afternoon so we never went, but this year it was Tuesday, so we went on our way home from work.

Tack Shack


This tack shack is 10 x 14 feet, and is on Highway 44 north of our place. It is for sale for $4,950.00
NO GST.
It has a brown tin roof. Two windows in the front and the roof slopes down at the back.
I like this building which has a 2 foot veranda but that is a bit pricey.
I should have gone off the highway for this picture but then I would be on their property again. Sandy and I first had a look at this building the day we went to buy paint, just over a week ago.

Peter's duplex is growing


Went by Peter's worksite earlier this week and could not believe how huge this building is getting to be-- it dwarfs the two houses on either side of it.
Tonight Jake and I went for a drive to town so I could show him. We also posted 3 letters, and bought gas for the van.
It was warmer at 7pm. tonight than at 4pm.
