I'm taking my mom to a doctor's appointment this glorious morning. It's nice to see the trees as they start to turn colour. I wish I could identify one of my favourite coloured shrubs as I drive along. I have this tree that took root at the side of my house and it's grown really fast. It looks great outside my kitchen window but the worry is how big it will become. I tried to identify it in my book of trees and shrubs, but the best I could guess was 'cork tree'. It has a soft bark. I don't see anything with similar leaves on my walk.
L's school photos came out beautifully this year, the threaded eyebrows gave her a look of sophistication. The funny part is, she says we should have paid $6 extra to have them re-touched, she could've looked totally blemish free like her friend that subscribed to this extra feature. Then K sends me a text message yesterday 'mom, could you drop off my Ipod shuffle by 4pm so that I can use it for cross country after school'. I told him he has to remember to pack stuff like that, as that's not exactly considered an emergency. Apparently his friend's mom did that so he figured it was a reasonable request!
It seems the young guy that worked on our basement for the first 3 weeks has been fired from his job. He screwed up one time too many, just our luck to have been saddled with him, very sloppy handiwork. They had to re-do our shower work yesterday including breaking the cement as it was done incorrectly.
Our street is so busy today, the neighbours seem to be doing some kind of interlocking/paving, so there's a big truck outside our house, just what we need in addition to all the people coming here.
