Que pasa
So yesterday afternoon started with an eye exam for me. Because I was doing it within ten months from my last one it was going to cost me $110.00 CAD. I have been having trouble reading with my prescription sunglasses. Things were fuzzy when I was trying to read the fine print on maps. I really needed to be able to see on our trip to Europe. Turns out that my astigmatism was getting better which accounted for the problem. The lenses were from 2015 and my daytime glasses were from 2017. So now they were syncing. Fortunately I was able to only order the left lens as the right eye was spot on which saved me $275.00.
Just before we headed out Colin was cleaning up all the goose poop on our lawn and patio.
I almost missed these girls as they were paddling so fast.
It wasn’t long before this guy was tempting Colin’s pick up. Caeli used to be our goose patrol.
I can’t believe that this guy is paddle boarding with bare feet in the freezing water! I guess if you have been cooped up here all winter this is paradise.
We were doing a number of errands ( 10 ) including a bank deposit, a visit to our lawyer re the annual year end filing and picking up some well deserved vino among other things.
This ball aka as a piece of art caught our eye. Apparently this represents the cycle of life. This ball is made of Ponderosa pine bark. It will slowly disintegrate over the next several months.
We also checked out the new channel built to handle the winter melt which was destroyed last year. It appears that they basically dug a deeper channel and widened it. This is a ten million dollar fix that is supposed to prevent us from being flooded yet again. So we hope.
We were very tired by the time we got back last evening which is why I did a short post. I did manage to make some progress on the year end yesterday. Lots more to do but I am confident it will all come together soon. Once again we has a great dinner and some good wine.
It is currently 9PM and I just have to stop. We are exhausted and tired and hungry but not wine deprived 😉 Just finished a two hour phone call with Apple re computer issues. We both had to reset and redo etc, and it it not finished…not an easy task. Better than we started but enough for tonight. Life is good, more manana.

I have a shotgun you can borrow for those poop-heads…
I love birdies but those …….all they do is make a mess….I shoot pop-bottle rockets up here whenever I hear them planning on moving into my neighborhood..It’s worked so far..No fatalities….Yet…
It sure was a swell spring day here downriver from you folks today….
Hope it’s a sign of better weather to come….
Toes crossed…
Upriverdavid, you do know that roasted goose tastes really good! Yum! Yum!
Dee I remember trying goose once very very very long ago and was not impressed but then who ever cooked it might not have done a good job. Won’t ever be trying it again though.
Sure miss having the girls run out and chase the geese away. We would yell ‘birdies’ and they would scramble outside. Yesterday I went out to chase one off the lawn and he barely moved until I came within a foot of it.
Now that you and Colin have to chase the geese, you two must now yell “GOOSE LIVER PATE!!”
Nice to get things taken care of and your eye glasses as well.
I really wanted to get the one new lens for my sunglasses ASAP as I will need them while traveling next month. So I am happy the timing all worked out.
Sounds like things are moving right along. Enjoy that warmth!!!
Cooler this morning but the week ahead looks nice and sunny. Hopefully all my desk work will be done and I can get outside and enjoy.
I love the geese but they don’t poop in our yard lol. People have been kayaking in the estuary but still way too cold for us, the breeze blows across the water is icy cold. Still lots of snow in the mountains above us. Here’s hoping no more flooding for you – it doesn’t look very sturdy though. We have been going 90 to nothing too – onboarded 3 clients this week which takes the most amount of work. We are trying to get several projects done before we take off – 7 more sleeps!
Goose liver Pate!!..I can picture you two now….Oh what fun!!

P.S. Anyone else can have my Pa-taay….
