Journal Entry #4

Happy Valentine’s Day!
I wish I could afford to make a florist rich and send flowers today to all of the people I would like too! However I’m not in a position to do that, so will send wishes and notes electronically as this is what my pocketbook can afford and the thoughts and wishes are just as genuine!
It once again was a slow start to the morning. I waited for Cub to get going ahead of me but then he took too long and I used up the hot water on the poor little dude! Oh well will have to work harder to coordinate tomorrow or when he goes back to school. He’s off school starting tomorrow for a week and a day so I am sure he will enjoy that. He mentioned the other day that he would really like to see the Peace Bridge in Calgary so I am thinking I will take him for lunch downtown and then we will go see the bridge in person! I haven’t ever stopped to look at it up close; however I have driven by it a number of times!
It’s been interesting, in the last few days I have picked up a contract for installation only in a Mall store and now I’m tendering a little more of them so maybe we will do more of these? Several years ago I got in the groove of doing several American Eagle stores, however the crews complained a lot and I stopped doing them! Now I’m in the position where we have crews anxious for work so I am pricing anything and everything! Today I’ve got three projects to tender on! Happy to report, one down, two more to go!
Funny I am quite enjoying this journaling thing! I am not sure how my kid is doing with hers, however they did arrive at their destination last night and it was cool to sense the excitement in the texts from both Kelsey and Rebecca that the adventure is now really underway! Even if their first activity was shovelling copious amounts of horse poop! Kelsey hates coyotes for some reason, maybe due to some childhood nightmares, anyhow they were also part of the experience last night and she said she wasn’t so thrilled about seeing them! Funny I admire the coyote for its tenacity and adaptability! Not as fond of timber wolves and their howl makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up!
Gloria’s cousin and her husband live in Tucson, they are super, super people who I’ve grown very, very fond of! Their love for each other and their love for our creator are extremely encouraging for me! I am so glad that they are close and already good friends with Kelsey! Donna has seemed excited about Kelsey’s time in their town and this I know added so much to Kelsey’s excitement for this experience too!
Lol… Divine Hardwood does a lot of builder work, a few years ago one of the home builders in Edmonton built a “mini-gym” for his boys attached to his home! Just got told we are going to do a similar thing for a builder here in Calgary! Attached is a photo of the completed floor for the builder in Edmonton.
The storey behind the “Happy Face” logo is that the kids Grandmother when she was alive she always would put a happy face on anything she baked for the kids and the happy face was a tribute to her! Yes this was long enough ago that I still had hair!
Just received an invitation to tender for the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon in two weeks which has an onsite meeting associated with it Feb 26th, 2013! I am working on a cost comparison for if I fly or drive! I will in all likelihood be driving; wouldn’t it be cool if I had a company vehicle by then?
The tenders went well, however my phone didn’t ring off the hook so generally speaking that’s not a good sign! Oh well just will keep plugging and wait and see.
I have to run an errand for my boss, and then I am going to head to the barn and give Leo a walk and some grooming attention!
A friend shared the following poem by Dr. Seuss on Facebook the other day and I wrote it down as I liked it.
You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself any direction you choose.
You’re on your own and
You know what you know!
And you are the one who’ll decide where to go!!!!
Taken from, “Oh the Places You’ll Go!”
I walked Leo and then gave him a good grooming! I recorded proof! It’s pictured below! This really set off my allergies so had to take allergy medicine when I got home!
Cubber studied like crazy last night for the second night in a row and this time it paid off as he was pleased with how easy the tests he wrote today were. I think I will try and get Hitman Tickets for this weekend!
Well that’s all for tonight!
