Changes...
Monday, 12. May 2008, 13:41:00
Good Monday morning!
Today is the beginning of change! --for us anyhow.
My husband started a new job today. A better job. Better salary, chances for promotion, and way better benefits.
He was with Canadian Tire Corp. for the last 9 years..so this is a big change for us.
Now he will be working for Waste Management. He will be working on the maintenance of trucks and heavy equipment.
This morning I have been enjoying the beautiful sound of 'Cockle-doodle-doing' in the yard.
We haven't had a rooster for about a year now..so it is a pleasant sound. We picked up 'Roo' on Saturday after spending an afternoon with my mom. (it was her birthday on Fri. and Mother's Day Sunday--so we spent Saturday with her.)
I found an ad on Equistation.com for some roosters looking for a home. He was living near my moms so we thought we would pick him up on the way home.
He sure is a handsome fellow. Still young- 6 months old...& hopefully he'll be a keeper. If he gives chase to one of the children..or myself..even 1 time!
Yesterday my children surprised me with my favorite perfume for Mother's Day.
I discovered this brand one day while I was browsing perfume's with my daughter this winter. I love to try new one's--& this one really stood out...I just love the fragrance!
My daughter remembered and they all pitched in to buy it for me for Mother's Day.
Thoughtful, isn't it?
I just adore perfume. I love a good fragrance!
Also..I have a wedding cake to plan for for this week-end. Through word of mouth from a customer...this young woman called me up--sight unseen..never to try a cake from me...and ordered a wedding cake.
I am honored.
I also have 3 more, so far, to look forward to this season. It's amazing. I vowed never to delve into wedding cakes..& lookit me now!
I was on the phone trying to reach a customer this morning and noticed my horsies out in the yard!
Sheesh. My poor husband forgot--AGAIN--to close the gate!!!
The other day I came home from town and all the goats & llama were in my yard eating the new buds on the apple tree.
I think maybe he is a little distracted with the new job! It's alright..I ran out...all covered in my bug jacket---blackflies are HORRIBLE!!!---and coaxed them back into the field with a nice bucket of oats. Dozer LOVES oats! He came running when he saw the bucket..too cute.
Anyhow..this is just the beginning of new things..good things! Have a great day!

It seems, you are quite busy with your animals and open gates
Nevertheless: I hope, you had a nice mother's day.

Elke...I describe the new fragrance as 'YUMMY'!
It's slightly sweet..but not too sweet..with a hint of musk & a slight hint of spice. What I love is that I can still smell it this morning.
It's really YUMMY!

I love your new Roo!! He really is beautiful! I wish we lived closer - I have one just coming to maturity and we are all roostered up at the moment. He's trying to compete with the big guys but he's not winning. I feel bad for him sitting all alone.
What a wonderful mother's day gift!!! Now, with Peter's new job (and more money) and fancy new fragrance - you'll be all set for a night on the town!
Congratulations on the cakes - you're a pro now!
And as for the gate - I think men have some kind of gene that prevents them from ever learning how to shut a gate, a drawer, a door or a closet.

(though I have my man well trained in that dept.
Thanks Lois!
Yes..Roo is beautiful. I really don't want to name him. I have named way too many beasts and I think Roo..is fine.
Aww..Yes..I would have helped you out with your poor guy.
I sprayed some perfume on me after my bath this morning. I had no where to go--but I love to smell good.
I managed to get 3 more orders for this week..just today.
Though..I have been praying for more business...I guess I better be ready!
