Back To Work

Doug and I enjoyed our last week of freedom while the kids got settled into their new routine at school. Saylor was pretty freaked at the idea that her parents would be going back to work soon and she might have to go with strangers to school. After three days with our new neighbours walking with us, [...]

Great Time

Nice sail up the Strait but not near enough wind to really get going so it was a bit of a motor. Good to see Roger and hear the turmoil of the America's Cup and Oracle caught cheating. They'll be in for more turmoil when those crazy Kiwis make landfall in San Fran! We continued North and couldn't [...]

At Sea Again

Hard to break the habit of blogging once we are out on the water so had to post something even if no one is reading anymore. We have fit right back in to life ashore although both Doug & I haven't started work yet. We've been busy getting the house back in order which should have been easy except [...]

Back To Work

10 September 2013 | Victoria
Doug and I enjoyed our last week of freedom while the kids got settled into their new routine at school. Saylor was pretty freaked at the idea that her parents would be going back to work soon and she might have to go with strangers to school. After three days with our new neighbours walking with us, Saylor advised us that we could go back to work! Riley is determined to ride his bike to school every day and he is going to pocket the $200 we would have paid for the bus. What a kid. Charlie is living it up in High School and even jumps into his homework without pressuring him. Oh how we love the first week.

I figured Doug needed to get a job however pretty freaky given we both haven't ever pounded the pavement: Doug started with Air Canada right after high school and me with CCG at the same time. So I started answering advertisements for him and two days later he got a call back. It's a perfect fit for him as Maintenance Coordinator at a very posh Retirement Condo Building. After the first meeting Doug knew he had the job thanks to Karma. This building is the home for a little old lady Doug met 2 years ago when he delivered her lost purse. Sweet As!
