Rainy Days

Well here are my lovely planters. If these planters suck, please don't burst my bubble and tell me. I'm just so excited that the flowers are blooming and that the planter is filling in nicely.

So we have exactly 2 weeks left at our rental on the lake. Boo hoo hoo. Even though this place has it's problems....(ants) we have fallen in love with it. Living on the lake is really priceless.

So we don't actually move into our house yet. It's still not ready yet. And won't be for a couple of more weeks. They are telling us we should be in by the 3rd week of July but we are not holding our breath.

We have a dilemma that's stressing me out though. We have to move out in 2 weeks but we are not sure where we are moving to. We have 2 options right now. Choice no 1, beautiful walk out basement suite with absolutely no furniture. So we will be out in the boonies/isolated with no table or chairs to eat on for 3 weeks. And we will be sleeping on aerobeds. But pretty cheap. No cable, no phone and we would have to borrow a TV and DVD from Silvano.

The other option is staying at this resort/hotel. Fully furnished, right on the beach/lake with use of their pool. But there is no washer/dryer in the unit. I'm worried about the noise factor. My girls making a lot of noise and bothering the other people at 5:30am. It's not as spacious as the first option either. And of course, it will be a lot more expensive. We will find out exactly how much the resort wants and if it's too much then we will definitely take option 1 since we don't have too many options at this point.



Anyhow, we got a phone call today from Jeffrey Shapiro's office. He is THE guy on Alopecia research and is known around the world. He works out of UBC and we had wanted to meet with him for a while.
But we couldn't get an appt. Long story short, we got an appt for Alex. He does a lot of research in Alopecia and was very interested in meeting the girls since they are identical twins. And supposedly twins are very much sought after when it comes to research when one has a condition and the other doesn't. So I don't know what will come out of this appt but we are looking forward to talking to someone with so much experience in it. Her appt is booked for mid-August in Vancouver. So that is good news.

The girls are sick with a cold. And it's been kind of rainy afternoon weather here lately so we have been staying indoors tonight with cozy flannel PJs on. Here are some pictures they girls painted recently. Nothing more to really say except that I should start packing this week. Note to self.....moving sucks.
