Where has the summer gone?
How can it possibly be almost the end of August already? You can feel and smell fall in the air in the mornings and in the evenings. Gone are the weekends of sitting around the campfire till the wee hours in your shorts and t shirts. It is long pants, sweatshirts, shoes, socks, and a jacket!
Last weekend we got out to the trailer, unpacked and put some hamburgers on the BBQ. Gary ended up finishing cooking them in the rain, so we ate in the trailer and put a DVD in. We had just nicely finished eating when the trailer door openned and there stood my dad! It had stopped raining, so Gary built a fire and we sat around it and visited with him. Since it was chilly and damp we didn't even bother finding out where the fire was that night, we just went in the trailer and turned in early. Saturday we went into town in the afternoon to check out the sidewalk sales (very disappointing) and then we went to the rodeo. It was very good, Virden always gets such good bucking stock and because you are in a small arena it is almost like you are right in the ring with the cowboys. Sunday afternoon we went back in to watch the rodeo again, and it was equally as good.
The weather this last week has been iffy, cooler for the most part, but humid! They kept saying we would get rain and thundershowers but so far that hasn't happened except for a few spits here and there.
Tomorrow Crystal will be going to ACC to pay for her next semester, get he schedule and buy her books. I think she is looking forward to getting back to school. She doesn't always like the cut in her pay cheque but she does manage. It is very rewarding to watch the sense of pride she takes in paying her own way!
Things have changed a bit for Ryan and it is appearing that soon he will be on the move again, but it won't be any closer to home! I didn't really think he could get further away. LOL! The company has a theater in Victoria that is without a manager right now. They have a guy coming to take it over, but he manages another theater, so has to get someone up to speed to run his theater before he can move. So between Ryan and Kelly (who will end up being Ryan's new boss when he moves) they are running the theater in Victoria. Basically they are taking turns, week about, being in Victoria, and then the other week they go back to their respective theaters. This week Ryan has been in Victoria, he goes back to Abbotsford sometime on Monday. He says he is enjoying it, but it is very different. The theater in Victoria is a one screen, as opposed to the nine screens he is used to and there are no matinee's to run either. He said he has a fair bit of work to do while he is there, cleaning things up, doing some painting etc. The company is putting Ryan & Kelly up in a hotel while they are there, it is a suite with kitchenette so they are expected to get some of their own meals. This weekend Tammy is going over to the island when she gets off work on Friday to spend the weekend which will be nice for the both of them. Once the new manager is settled in Victoria that is when Ryan will be on the move. He is being transferred to Nanaimo. Tammy and Rawley will be moving there as well, she will move once she has gotten a job there. I don't think it will take her too long as she certainly isn't afraid of work that is for sure.
As far as knitting I have finished Jordyn and Dayne's matching WW's. I now have to go and buy some more yarn in order to do the next ones. I have cast on the "Catch a Wave Wrap" from an issue of Creative Knitting. I am doing it in one solid color rather than the stripes and am really liking the way it is working up.
