It's kind of a gloomy day here in Red Deer. We'll probably see some rain and I doubt that it will get above about 12C. But we did have a great long weekend so no complaining allowed!
Larissa and I finished the deck on Saturday. That was the big job we took on for my visit. Not sure if I mentioned it but Larissa became a homeowner a few months ago. And of course, with that comes all the 'projects' that make up the joys of home ownership! She already painted the whole inside (before she even moved in!). There are a few things that she would still like to do inside...like new livingroom floors and finish the basement...but they will have to wait. Rebuilding the deck has taken all her money and I don't want to do anymore! I'm supposed to be on holidays, after all!

I'll get before and after pictures of the deck posted soon. The deck is done but I'm working on a couple of cedar tables made from scrap wood pieces. Once they are done, I'll get some pics.
Other new things in Larissa's life include a brand new, shiny blue Mazda CX5! A car. A very nice car! To say that she is obsessive about the car is a huge understatement! It has a name (I can't remember what), it gets washed every week, and we have to park way out at the far end of every parking lot to be sure that it doesn't get dinged by another driver! She's happy! Obsessive, but happy.
Oh yah. She also has a new boyfriend. Kyle. He's been around for a few months but I just met him so now he gets mention in the blog! We all made it to the circus last week. It was a lot of fun. Kyle is a really busy guy so I haven't seen a whole lot of him but so far he has my approval! Now, we just have to get Adam up here so Kyle can pass the 'Dad test'!
