Island News

WEll we finally got our contract until the end of Feb. but because it came so late we haven’t accumulated any vacation time for over the xmas holidays so I guess starting tomrrow I will be working a super-compressed schedule to get some time over xmas, my new hours will be 8 to 5:30 from now until xmas .

By working the extra hour and half everyday I will have about 3 extra days saved up for over the holidays and the 1 day I’ll earn in Dec as vacation time so I should be able to be off from xmas eve until the 2nd or 3rd of Jan!! Woohoo!!.

Hope Mr Wendell is able to find lots of idea’s for makeing suppers in the next few weeks.. LOL

That’s about all my news for now

Have a great week everyone!!!

Well we are now all settled in, my puter is up and running (thank you Kevin for the help on that ) so now the next thing we will be looking at will be putting the deep freeze in the basement to make more room in the entry way and clear out the remaining boxspring from the hall way to clear that area. And then its on to decorating for Christmas .I have all this stuff to decorate with and no idea what I’m going to do. A lot of what I have I used on my mantle over the fireplace at the old location so will have to see where it will look best without the mantle now. Will be nice to have something new to try to decorate and make Christmasey for a change.

I am slowly getting my xmas shopping done it will be close by the time I get it all done but I am not going to worry to much about that, Not going to spend the $$ we usually did previous years. As long as everyone gets a little something and everyone is happy and healthy we will be happy with that for sure .

The last of my new curtains for the diningroom should be in at sears tomorrow , it will be nice to get those up and make it look a little cozier.  I went with all lace curtains for the most part the white looks really nice against the nutural colors in the house.

Will try to get some pictures posted on the site once we get some decorations up .

here is nice link to see some rememberance day poems.

It not a bad day out other than it is cold and windy, which is better than what they were forecasting for us yesterday, we were suppose to be getting 5 to 10 cm of snow today YULK!!
