The Ouseys in Victoria Page

Trip home was quick and uneventful.  We did run into Sue and John on their way back, just happened to be taking the same ferry back from Port Angeles.

It is always good to get home, we managed to bring home some good weather but it only lasted for a few days, then the rains returned.  It has been fair on and off since.  Have been lucky for golfing, hasn't rained on us yet.

Despite saying that we wouldn't get a new car until later in the year we launched into the search early, found and purchased a Kia Optima, picture attached.  This allowed us to pass on the Sunfire to Rachel.  She will soon be an RN and has been guaranteed a job at Victoria General where here last practicum was.  They really liked her and went out of their way to ensure she stays.  She would need a car and Voila she has one.  We had a lovely dinner and visit with her and we caught up with her news and love life.  We have yet to meet her new "Darling", actually that is Andrew's last name.  He is in Halifax on Army reserve training for a couple of months.  She misses her "darling".

We really like the Optima, it had more on it than expected and will certainly be a comfortable care to drive south in.  We kept the Versa as a second car and of course a toad.

We found the house in one piece, lol, actually all our visitors that used it left it in immaculate shape.

Mom is doing well, though she has been feeling a bit poorly of late.  On the mend though.  She has had a couple of mild falls.  More slipping to the floor when she tries to transfer herself to the wheelchair. No injuries, I must check on and improve the brakes on her chair, or get a new one.  She was glad to see us back and we are back in the swing of things Cribbage wise.  I have had her out for lunch, haircuts and dinner.

Supper is calling "Shepherd's Pie", mmmmm  smells great.

Ciao & Peace.
