ALBERTA CHAT - SPRING 2017!!!

Well another Season, Another Change.
As of April 2017 I will have finished my Move back to Ontario. Ended up with a Job Transfer.
So without further ado. I Gracefully bow out, and thank you.

Drove through sarnia once, but can't remember much about the town. Gotta go where the work is. Being close to family is a double edged blessing. But I'm spoiled, I'm five minutes from the in-laws, five from one brother, twenty from the other, and fifteen from my mom.

I miss my days in Ontario once and a while but I haven't lived there since 84.
I'm on the other edge of the family blessing, 1 brother is 20 minutes away and we talk once a year, the other brother had some sort of a mental breakdown in November and my ex sister in law and myself are just getting started with the care and responsibility signatures and having him committed. The only thing we have in common is that we have nothing to do with our mother in Manitoba lol.
Ontario is a lot more economically stable than Alberta as it's not based on a boom or bust industry, hope things work out for the best for you Puddy.

That time of year. Gotta pump out the drive way so it will dry faster as it melts.

Can't wait to get my little truck on the road but can't get it out of the driveway lol will be a long few weeks before I can get it out ..

Looks more like a construction site than a driveway, I burned out a pump like that keeping a footing dry so that I could pass an inspection and get a pour done. Throw some rice in there and see if it catches

Good luck Puddy!! Yes, close family is sometimes easier, lost my father last Friday in Manitoba, 3 trips in 6 days, 10 hours each way, and leaving tomorrow again for the funeral. Enjoy the family when you can. Darrell

I trudged through a few fields as a kid in Manitoba and left a few high top boots behind, not the best feeling putting a muddy foot back into a stuck in the mud boot.
