Mission

A good friend once said to me: "If a door opens in front of you - get off your ass and dance through it...laughing."

I'm trying, Nancy!

A whale of a tale

It started out as a tiny little bubble in the paint. When I cleaned the tub, the bubble broke and we had a tiny little hole in the white paint, through which, the old turquoise showed through. Then I might have picked at it a little bit.
Okay, maybe more than a little bit, but I can't help myself, it's just SO satisfying to peel a big chunk off in one piece!




Look, I made a whale!




After Dan made the appointment to have it reglazed, I really went to town, and the baby whale grew even bigger. No pictures, but I managed to pick away so much paint, that the guy didn't charge us the $150.00 that he usually tacks on for removing the old stuff. You're welcome, Dan.

It's all shiny and new looking again now, though.




The guy made a fairly significant booboo, but he won't be able to get back to fix it until September. Really! Oh well, whaddya gonna do? At least it's all one colour again.

Dan & I spent the day being tourists in our own town today. We wandered around downtown for a couple of hours, and quite enjoyed ourselves.















We weren't alone either, there were lots of people out enjoying the sunshine and the sidewalk cafés.

It's still a nice night, so we're off for another dog walk in the local park.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hope you can use the tub now and not have to wait until the booboo is fixed! How long did it last, I remember when you had it done the first time. A nice tour of downtown Calgary , might have to do that myself sometime.

Yes, it's usable, thank goodness! It's been 12 years since it was done the first time, so that's pretty good, I think.
We haven't been downtown in years, but the last couple of months we've been there 4 or 5 times. I love walking along the river, it's a great people-watching place.
