Stoves

I have high hopes that i can buy this houseboat that I want so badly that I could just spit. It is even named Blue Heron.
Anyway, I have been obsessing about it and wondering how I am going to manage it, but instead of thinking about making any practical plans toward the goal, I think about how to decorate 663 square feet. It doesn't sound that big, probably cause it isn't. Smaller than my house in the peace corps. I'd attach a photo but I don't have one handy. I was looking at another houseboat for sale that is a mere 6 times more expensive on accounta it coming with moorage in seattle near my old house. It had a neat old stove. But not as neat as this one, which I love.



And who woudn't. It would be like not loving these boat ads. A restored stove like this to my right would set you back 6k. Ouch. It makes me wonder about our current stove at our cabin. I would like designs like these in cars, appliances, phones, etc. today. There is a company making cool TV's, but I am not going to invest actual money into a TV no matter how cool.

New Shoes


I stumbled upon the song that will play if you click on the snappy shoe picture recently and thought that this was a man who really understood women. Those who helped me move me and my shoe collection - Thank You Janine in particular- will understand.

My Move


Since I have moved to Canada over the week, I have the opportunity to learn some of the official languages.

Official languages Chipewyan, Cree, English, French, Gwich’in, Inuinnaqtun, Inuktitut, Inuvialuktun, North Slavey, South Slavey, įchǫ [1]

Go ahead. Try and pronounce the last one. Good luck with that.

So...after taking about about 6 truck loads to the Good Will, the death, blind, MS stricken truck drivers failing to pick up my numerous requests. Given their disabilities, I understand. Anyway, we also took several loads to the Re-Store. Leaving was not fun. It is going to be hard to be in the neighborhood and be pulled to my what is now known as "My Ancestral Home."
