September 9 -

Joan here - not much of anything going on today - waiting for the water guy to come by - we're just about out of bottled water - a necessity in the rental. The kids have to stop by the bank again and take some more paperwork for their bank accounts and at 5pm we're all going next door with a bottle of wine to see Malcom and his lady-friend. Malcolm is the guy who is going to make me a wooden birdhouse - he runs the B & B next door.

The kids had a great time last night out with Thomas and his friends - apparently the bar carries 45 or so of local microbrewery beers - which in guy-speak, is a great reason to go there. I see at least 44 more visits in Trev's future. It's also a grill which sounds interesting - a new place for lunch maybe?

On their way home - it's just a couple of blocks away, there was a small store open and they had some interesting artifacts in so Shelley took a look and saw a plaster madonna (like the ones I like but more rustic and WAY cheaper) so she picked it up for me. What a nice surprise when I got up this morning.

Went next door to Malcolm's last night and we met his friend Patty who has lived here for 5 years now, she just lives across the street and around the corner. Had a lovely night talking and drinking - everyone here is so nice and Malcolm is just hilarious with his corny tricks but he is also smart and very interesting to talk to. He's lived here for 25 years!
