MOVED IN TO OUR NEW HOUSE

 Actually we moved in about a week ago so we've been busy.  We have the storage container about empty so it will soon be returned.  The temperature the past few days has been fairly warm for this time of year but our high of 36C/99F yesterday is supposed to drop to 20C/68F by Saturday.

Most of the boxes are emptied now except for my work room which is awaiting shelving.  It will be a challenge to make it all fit once I bring down the boxes of matted prints, many framed that I have stored at Karen's.  I may have to do a major purge somehow.

We are slowly gathering furniture but it's quite the challenge these days with back orders and shortages.  Beds for the guest rooms are in stock but about a week and a half away for delivery.  The dining room table and chairs are probably two months out.  That's our second try at buying a set.  The first one was cancelled because the only available table was found to be damaged when received at the store and a replacement would be some time away.


Pano shot looking down our street.  Our car is visible just past Aileen, if you look closely.

Pano of McIntrye Bluff and the Okanagan River.  The river is straight here, creating the pano in the phone gives the illusion of a corner.
