Vacation - November 2009

Due to Jim's illness, our rabbit sitter cancelling on us, and various sundries our original plan to leave on Monday ended up being pushed back to Wednesday.

We spent the week at Don and Deb Waterhouse. We camped in their backyard. Worked out well. Gave us our privacy, gave them theirs, and yet gave us time to chat with each other.

Wednesday we arrived. Basically just chilled the rest of the evening.

Thursday we went to the Royal in the afternoon. All of us were tired. We didn't see the whole thing, but we did see some and have a chance to nibble on samples, see goats being milks, watch some sheep being shown, and to chase down a wired lad every time we turned around. :)

Friday we kicked around our home base. Had chats with the Waterhouses, discovered a christian bookstore and enjoyed browsing. Justin came home with some LEGO wannabe and has been totally enamoured with it ever since. :)

Saturday we headed home. We hit IKEA first, and came home with an DVD bookshelf, some new cups for Justin and something else that I can't recall at the moment.

It was a good time away.
Amy did a good job caring for the bunnies and the house while we were away.

So Jim remains ill. It's been three weeks now of one thing or the other.

He's currently running a fever, is somewhat 'light' on his feet, runs out of energy quickly, and isn't eating worth a whit. He's drinking lots and mostly staying quiet in the house, though today we worked together to winterize the trailer which HAD to be done before it drops down solidly below freezing tonight. Didn't take long and hey...we were actually able to work together without biting each other's heads off. :)

working on getting this and that done around the house. Taking it easy. keeping a boy busy enough.
