Hired a minivan to move our stuff into the new apartment. $15 Cdn an hour for 2 and a half hours. The driver helped load the van but I did all the work...30 degrees and muggy, at least is wasn't raining!

Here are pics without the clutter!






View up Hollywood Rd. from the living room window.















The place is empty now. All of our boxes and stuff fit into the small second bedroom.
Time to buy furniture and think about paint and stuff.
Too bad we are in Vancouver for the month?






Kitchen and terrace area.
Next time in HKG I have an extra day off, so hopefully I can buy some basic stuff to live. Like food, internet (monitor or TV), and a bed.

fun and games on our vancouver temp base

Our biggest clothing swap yet!! It was a monster with lots of "fresh meat" AKA rookies to keep it interesting.

Sheila couldn't make it but she made up for it by donating the clothes to a refugee camp in Africa so something really good came of our old clothing.












We had a weekday BBQ in my Grandma's backyard.

Behold my new short haircut!! Apparently my hairdresser thinks my shoulders are 3 inches higher than I do! But as everyone tells me...."It'll grow back"







Notice the table Suds made....an old door placed atop an empty TV box. Necessity is the mother of invention :)













After dinner a quick volleyball game started up. It was dangerous because a ball hit into the apple tree could cause a apple fall on your head





On Wednesday Suds and I headed to Seattle to watch Justin Morneau (a good Canadian kid) and the Twins beat the Mariners

Uncle Larry was there too!

Safeco field was packed!!

Suds and I went to the Keg to celebrate our 2nd wedding anniversary with gift certificates from Hilary and Whitney. Thanks guys! It was delic!

Housewife Tip of the Day

Step by step how to make S'mores

Step 1:
Buy supplies.
Graham Crackers
Aluminum Foil
Marshmallows
Milk Chocolate







Step 2:
Assemble

In between 2 graham crackers place some chocolate and a marshmallow. I find it works best if you squish the marshmallow some first.




















Step 3:

Wrap tightly in the foil but do not break the cracker!











Step 4:

Make a big fire. After it burns for awhile make a little hot coal pit for your S'mores.

Do not put them directly on the coals for too long. This will burn the crackers. Flip them several times. They are ready when with gentle pressure on the top you can feel the insides all melting and oozey.




Step 5:
Let cool for a few minutes, open and enjoy!!
