diligence

The month is almost over and I have not been diligent in my blogging.
Too much to do.
And besides that I don't feel particularly creative.
Maybe I will post some pictures of the past month.

 We celebrated Mom's birthday out at Lemongrass for dinner and back to Jeff and Debi's.

I was babysitting Isabel and we went to pick Alexander up from school. 

Alexander did not want to pose for a picture.

 

We celebrated Ethan and Moriah turning 2 years old.

We celebrated 33 years of marriage on the 20th.

After playing many Mondays since January The Final Answers

 finally won Trivia Night at the Coach and Lantern.

 At the church community barbcue. 

Anne and Andrew were part of the group that provided the musical entertainment.

  I babysat Callie last week. She is a very easy going child.

finally she found what she was looking for

For the last number of years I have been looking for a mailbox.
I was looking for a specific type of mailbox.
One similar to the dinosaur that had been receiving our mail since we had moved here.

I had taken the one that came with the house and painted it grey.

Now after all these years the paint has worn off and
the rust has just about eaten a hole through our receptacle of all things postal.

Finally in St Jacobs at the Home Hardware store. There it was.
Just what I was looking for.
I happily paid about 70 dollars to a cashier
who thought it a little strange that I was so happy to find my mailbox.

I got Martin to move the post a bit closer to the house.

I got a talented friend to put the lettering of our name upon the beast and ... voila.

My mailbox dreams came true.
