So It is Official.

We are going to Move to Saint John. We found a place that is furnished we will rent it for 4 months in the Qusipamsis area while we look for a place to buy, we are partial to the Rothesey area of town. We will be keeping our place on the water by Shediac until about August, so if anyone wants to come visit let us know. We may look at renting it out by the week depending on how we feel.
Jen got a job for an Oil company, and it looks like she will be my sugar mama. I figure it is the way to go.

Anyhoo, I hope everyone is dong well, and staying out of trouble.

If you would like to see some good shots to Saint John, then click on the link on the side that says Dan Culberson. He is a local guy with one heck of an eye.

Also it is Saint John, not St John's. The city of Saint John has never abbreviated the Saint in the name. Also it is the oldest incorporated city in North America, it is a port town that had the first quarantine island that was used when all the Irish settlers came during the Potato famine. These are some quick facts you can use at a party to razzle dazzle your friends.

Here are some pictures that I took during the summer.

Choppin Broccoli

Yes I was.

Andrew Hubert Humphry

Well Mr Chappelle came to visit us before he flew on off to London. He will be living there for a few years, or until he gets tired of the whole British thing.
So anyway he flew in to town on Wednesday at 11pm, we hungout and relaxed around the house on Thursday. He had been flying around the country saying goodbye to everyone, and we were the last stop on his farewell tour. So on Thursday we got up and went in to Cora's for breakfast, and then came home. I took him for a drive around the neighborhood and ran some errands. Then when we got back we had a fire until the sun went down, came in and ate Supper. We hit the hay early because we had to drive to Halifax first thing in the am to get him to the flight on time. The crazy thing about the drive was that he and I drove from Calgary to Moncton, and here we were completing the drive the rest of the way across Canada. Deep huh?
So anyway he flew off and now all we have to do is plan our trip over to see him, looks like we will shoot for early spring.

A visit from Collin

Well sir the man, the myth, the simi legend was here and in full action. We had to send out a general advisary for the area to lock up their daughters, and smalll farm animals. He flew in on last Monday, and stayed until the Friday. Safe to say that we accomplished everything we had wanted to. I think that he really needed the time to relax, he was so tired he spent the whole first day in bed.
We toured the area, on the Thursday I made sure that he went to 3 provinces. He took a leak in each one....
Every day he was here the weather was between 12 - 16 degrees. The day he left it was 18... Crazy.

Question: Your wife goes to Toronto for 4 days to visit her mom, what do you do?

Well, you take the kids and go to Disneyworld of course....
At the end of last month Jennifer flew to Toronto to visit her mom and have some fun. So I didn't want to feel left out, I booked our room at the Disney Carribean Beach Resort. We stayed for a few days, and visited with Mickey and my Uncle. We went to Disneyworld, and the kids had a blast. Luckily Eric came along to the park and made it easy (2 kids are allot of work). At Disney we had Tegwyn get about 6 or 7 autographs from different characters. Then we talked him into going on the Pirates of the Carribean ride, he loved it (he was scared to go on it before). So then I bought him a Pirate costume which he put on right then and wore for the rest of the day at the park, people were coming up to him and telling him that they loved his costume. The next day I took the kids to Disney Animal Kingdom, yeeeesh! I slept like a baby that night. Chasing the 2 kids around was tough, but it kept me busy.
We flew back to Toronto and met up with the beautiful wife on Sunday. Then headed for home. Good weekend. Great to see Eric.

Joe and Trish.

So about a month ago Joe and Trish came to visit. It was nice to see them here. We all hung out and had some good laughs. We showed them some sights, and then we gave them the flu. It was sort of a parting gift from us to them. The cool thing was the leaves were changing.

My Wife is beautiful......

Thirty hmmmmurrrfff years ago today.

There was a scream that echoed across the lower mainland. Mrs Douglas squeezed a bald, baby faced boy from her uterus. Wouldn't you know it here we are 3? years later and he is still a bald baby faced little boy. Not much has changed...
So today we raise our glasses to a good fellow, he is a straight shooter that is sharp as a knife. He deserves the best, and I think he will get it.
So Mr Douglas Happy birthday.
