Que Pasa
We continue to spend long periods of time on the computer. I am happy to say that I am 75% done with my research. However this is the year that we are redoing our will and that takes a good deal of time as well. There are only four weeks left in which Colin can work. So he has started to tell his clients that it is now or wait until we get back in April. Smoke or no smoke. He can colour some of the sky but if a home requires view photos it can’t be done.
They tell us that the smoke is going to be here for a long while. We woke up to ash on our vehicles this morning. Unless we really have to we use the A/C at night we don’t. We love to sleep with our windows wide open. So in addition to ash on the cars we had it on our dresser, night tables and Colin’s desk. It appears that the breeze last night was from the North and hence the mess inside.
This photo was taken at 9:30 this morning. We have nothing to complain about compared to these poor folks.
Somehow I lost some photos. Knowing my mind these days I likely deleted them from my camera. It was not serious as it was only photos of a part that we need for the RV which has been discontinued. So I need to find it somewhere. It is for our Dometic fridge. Eventually I retook the photos. I had also checked my iPhone just in case and found some photos from a month or so ago.
I was at the mall and saw this temporary sale of these incredible lamps. I loved the colors and the shapes. Fortunately I had my phone with me.
The prices were high or I would have picked up a few. Perhaps for outside at the Isla. At least I have photos to remind me of these wonderful lamps.
I never ever go to downtown Kelowna on my own but I had to just the other day. Finding parking on Bernard is impossible. Not to worry, I parked 3 blocks away and as I was only going to be 20 minutes I only put three quarters in the meter, good for one hour. Once again I was taking my closed toe Mephisto runners in to be stretched for the third time. Colin did it for me the first few times. This time I was wearing them so the fellow could see where the shoe was cutting into my toes. He said that he would stretch them upward from my toes. He told me they would be ready the next day. I asked him to please leave the shoes on the stretcher for a week 😕
As I left the store I meandered back to the car, simply enjoying window shopping which I seldom have time to do. About three or four doors down I saw a ladies clothing store. Something compelled me to go in. OMG. Clothes in my style and colors and not expensive at all. I started wandering around. I checked every rack in the very crowded store. Soon I had close to two dozen items to try on. I am not a shopper but when I see something I like, watch out. When I got to the till to pay, I asked the clerk to not tell me the total 😯 . As I handed over my credit card a light bulb went off in my mind. The parking meter 😥
Sure enough I had a ticket. In fact I missed the parking gal by about 4 minutes. I called the number on the back and said that I was only four minutes lake. Sob!! They looked it up and as I have never ever had a ticket before, they cancelled this one. Phew. Lucky break.
Thanks for stopping in to read this post. I hope you have some wonderful plans for your weekend. Enjoy.

Nice to get out and about getting your shoes stretched and more clothes.
You got lucky with that parking ticket.
I know you have one of those smarty phones…You need to turn the alarm on b/4 you have to be back.
I’m betting with the computers on the meters it wouldn’t have mattered if a checker came by. They would get you anyways…I have a flip and one smarter than me, so I’m sure I wouldn’t know how…
You got lucky, in Seattle they would charge you 2x for complaining….Or worse….III…

Never ever thought of using the phone for that. Great idea.
