the world from my point of view
Home Valerie and I often hit the couch after dinner to ‘watch TV’ together. Tonight I watched TV by myself for 2hrs and when I returned I found… Well I guess the movie ‘Unbroken’ is not for the Girls. Meanwhile we have been put into a higher degree of lock-down for COVID-19. Maggie seems to…
Made a variation of Wiener Schnitzel mit Kaese Spaetzle. This created quite a buzz in the kitchen as I had to rope Valerie (and to a lesser extent – Molly) into my little adventure. It turned out great! Need to make the Spaetzle ‘finer’ in the future. Brought home a pre-made meatloaf. It was just…
Finally finished painting the tractor. Looks nice. I think it was worth the effort. Now have it listed for sale.
Mavis A friend came by with a cute red hoodie for Mavis. Of course I had to take Mavis for a walk – with my matching red hoodie. Coding I definitely have more time to code now that Maggie is able to drive on her own. So back on Merva for a good chunk of…
Maggie Maggie passed her driving test the other day. This is a big deal – right up there with 1st job and moving out. Merva Decided to check out the inside of the hull – in the stern. I pulled out the large drawer (full of the emergency stuff). It all looks the same back…

Farm Spent the day at the Farm with a couple of contractors. They did their thing while I spent most of my time on Merva coding. Fired up the diesel stove for the first time this season and it warmed up the boat nicely – super cozy. I went ashore to see about improving the…
Girls Got up early to get Maggie to work. Soon after I returned Valerie and Molly left for Vancouver for a dance competition. I returned to the village later to get Maggie and give her a chance to practice driving (parking). Later I drove Maggie to Judah’s house. Coding I spent a good chunk of…
Merva The two frames for the new art came the other day. I framed up two of the larger pictures. I had to trim about 1 inch off of pictures to make them fit. Removed the old pictures from the salon and installed these in their place. They are hanging by a bracket hooked on…
Mavis Probably spent 2 hrs today keeping Mavis appropriately entertained. She is building confidence and we can no longer assume she will remain close when outside. Yard Work I cleared all of the cars from the driveway and pulled the tractor out of the garage so I could power wash it. I ended up power…
