Back from the Oyster Run

What a great weekend. There were more bikes, more vendors than I remember from before. I saw some really neat bikes. I even saw a goldwing with a turbo! I also saw some 'interesting people'! Enjoy the pictures.

Oyster Run!

So I'm heading out to Anacortes Washington tomorrow for the Oyster Run. I really hope I can ride by bike. I'm still kind of sick, well, just hacking and feeling tired. However, the dr said I'd probably be ok to ride, we'll just see. I really need to get back on my bike before the season is over here. I really miss her, and I know she misses me!!! I hate being sort of still sick. grrrrrrrrr.

SICK........

I hate being sick. I've been sick all week. This week all I've done is, HACK, HACK HACK, HACK, SNORT, SNEEZE, HACK, HACK, moan...., pain, you get the picture. Not pretty is it? Apparently, I have bronchitis and sinus infection. At least my sinus' hurt less today. Now I'm just hacking up a lung or 2.

But, a good point. I found out that ADT does work! I got a phone call last night at 2am from ADT,the glass breakage alarm went off, ADT had already called the police. So off Randy and I head downtown, all the while thinking,oh crap what a mess. I'm assuming the TV in the window is gone, glass everywhere, what a mess at 2 in the morning! We get to the office, the RCMP is already there, nothing is broken! We find the rock that someone threw against the door, there's just a mark on the door where the rock hit. I guess the alarm scared whoever did this off. Well, that was $30 well spent this month!

Back to school

Well it's back to school, fall must be here.
This past weekend, we moved Candace into her dorm at UBC Okanagan in Kelowna. Wow, it was amazing. There was a huge lineup of cars, but, everything moved quick. We had all of Candace's stuff in her room (with the help of 4 other students) in about 15 minutes. Then came the unpacking and shopping for stuff that she still needed.

So yesterday, she had her new student orientation. She said it went well and enjoyed it. Today, is the first day of classes. I hope everything goes well for her.

Randy said something rather profound when we left Kelowna after moving her in, is this harder on the parents or the students? I'm really not sure. I know it's tough on me! I just keep reminding myself that this is something she's worked hard for, plus it's something she's always wanted. Candace has always been a great student and this past summer she's been so excited about university.

But, it's still tough on Mom.

After 5 years

Nick (my 21 yr old son) finally got his class 6 motorcycle licence. He aced the road test too! He only got a couple of demerits. I told him not to be nervous on the road test, I said just think of it as you are showing them how good you ride. Well it worked. I guess biking is in the blood!!
It really shouldn't have taken so long to get to this point, but, having to go out of town for the test, and learner's permits expiring kind of delayed him.

Way to go Nick!

Short Vacation

So, I'm off for a short vacation. We are travelling to Leavenworth, Washington. We plan on staying at the Bavarian Lodge. If you ever go to Leavenworth, I highly recommend this hotel. It's very cute. Don't know where we're going after this, but, I'll be back on Friday.

It's hot!

I was showing property yesterday, boy was it ever hot!! But, it's a dry heat.

Our real estate market is still busy. Rural properties are holding a steady price, but, in town seems to be dropping a bit in price. It seems that most people coming into our office are asking about rural properties. I think they want to get away from big city living and just relax. Some are looking for cabins, for the quick weekend getaway, some just want out of the big city.

So far, summer has proved to be steady for real estate, but, I expect it to pick up again in the fall.
