freaks, geeks, and four dodgey tyres
okay we have visitors ~ our very first over night visitors to be exact! And while they were much anticipated and received with joy, I think they wished they had stayed home.
SO. Yesterday my sister, Susan, and her husband, David, and their son, Zachery, came down for a visit and to bring us the stuff that we left at their house when we moved to Calgary as it didn’t fit in our car when we left (about a 4 hour drive away). They arrived about 12:30pm and then The Husband came home from work shortly after that so David and TH were sent to collect a set of bunk beds that we were to buy. On the way to collect the bunk beds, the boys got a flat tire. They no sooner got that fixed then there was a second flat tire. Okay that one was fixed and other arrangements made to collect the bunk beds. I was out collecting a few bits for dinner and a late birthday cake from DQ for The Husband (whose b’day was last weekend but because Susan had to get her tires fixed during the week so they didn’t come down then we did cake this weekend) when I get a call from The Husband and during the course of the conversation he tells me that a third tire went flat. Yes now there are two repaired tires and a dolly wheel on my sisters car and a fourth tire that has a BIG question mark over. In Calgary. Not Edmonton. Not where they live. Or work.
So this morning we embark upon a new day. And I am sure that the waiting is killing my unexpected house guests. However the fact that we have a new laptop has taken the attention of my brother-in-law as he gets to play. And quickly dicovers that the mouse pad is a bit temperamental. So after breakfast, when he and The Husband went to see about some new tires, he bought a new external mouse. Thank You David.
Later we plan to do BBQ at the park across the street and possibly out on the lake. It is a gorgeous sunny day and we have at least one bored child at the minute so once the banana bread is ready off we go!
