I am so grateful for the new home..God has Blessed me with!
I feel like with just getting things organized was  time consuming.
Am so looking forward to having more people over.
For friday night supper a couple came over
I served moose meat, mashed potatos, carrots, bannock and chocolate cake for dessert. Played Blokus and a game of 10000.
Was a good evening!

Now. waiting for the first snow fall so i can start decorating for christmas.
I would like to bake cookies and sure be nice to get some new recipes.
Any good ideas out there?

I enjoy doing crafts too. Although i don't feel very inspired anymore after making the valences and the table runner.

However i need to make centre pieces for our christmas feast and I have something in mind already.

Well i should get ready to head to New sudbury just shortly. Write more later.

Lots a storage in this apartment.
Bathrooms are blessings too! YAY!!!!
Looking forward to the llittle deck in the summer. Gonna plant flowers. Maybe Tan! LOL
Well i finished this blog.
By the way it starts way back from October, Where i stayed with Jack & Dedee. So keep scrolling! Blog is done for awhile! YYYYAAAAAYYY!!!!!





I would like to put this sign in my kitchen. I also have a shelve i would like to use with it,

I  also like the little area where i can have my sewing machine set up.
The apartment came with a washer and dryer,
No more Laundromat. YAY!





Kitchen is so much bigger than the other apartment.
I made the valences for the windows,
Also the table runner you see on the table.
 I'd like to redo the chairs sometime.
The apartment came with the fridge and stove.
Friends gave the dishwasher. Which i haven't used yet.
A friend of mine Carol took me shopping for a microwave stand. 
I'll post the picture of that later. She also got me a little table for my stereo and then also gave me curtains for my living room. Lovely lady!
Yes, I am thankful for the spacious kitchen/
I have a few things i still want to hang in the kitchen.
For now this is what my kitchen looks like.


My Long entrance. Someone gave some hooks, i wanna put there on the left so people can hang their coats up and i like that its so narrow that way theirs plenty of room for guests to take their shoes off.
Yup..i need a new lamp shade!




Living room is next. 
I really like it.



My Bedroom.
Is much bigger then what i had before.
I had to put my little freezer in my bedroom.
The entrance you see is sliding doors which go out into the living room. 
So thats my bedroom. 


Moving day was November 1st which fell on a sunday.
After church on sunday,  friends that came to  help me move my stuff from storage. Couple of them had trucks. Anyway.....
While at the storage place i realized i didn't have the key to open the storage. So Dedee phoned Jack and got him to go through my other purse.. i had just switched purse. I figured they were in there,
Well they were not!!!! So i asked him to go through my dresser an still "NO" Key.
Good thing Jack hadn't left yet. Hetoo  was also on his way to help move.
We stood around outside for a good 30 minutes and finally i told everyone they could go home and i'd call when i have the keys.
As Jon was driving away with two other guys...i decided to check my coat pocket and There they WERE.
So i quickly called Jon back. Thank goodness for cell phones.
Jack also arrived and we were well on our way!!!
I live on the main floor of the apartment building and right across the street is the corner store.
I have a little deck!!!! Yay.
I stayed at the Dedee's yet that sunday night. And moved my bed, computer and other things that monday.
For girls night..the ladies brought supper over and helped me do some cleaning, unpacking, Alice prayed a blessing for my new home.
Got my bed made and the coffee pot ready for the next morning.
That night Dedee came and stayed with me for the first night.
So yeah the rest are picture's after i was unpacked.
Feel free to ask question's or leave comments.
I hope their will be comments.
Because i worked hard on this.
All Enjoy!








For the month of October, i stayed with Jack and Dedee and Family.
I am really thankful for the way they put up with me.
They are very, very nice people.
They made a little room for me in the basement. With some wall shelves and sheets, right beside a wood stove.
The house has 5 bedrooms. along with other things such as kitchen, bathrooms, well the usual.
It was nice to have suppers made and all the dishes that need washing was a job i took on. I believe DD was grateful for that,
One evening they invited a bunch of friends to watch  hockey on the wall screen. That's Jacks head you see there on the right.
By the way they live out in the country. So i wasn't as free to leave when ever i wanted too. They would often give me rides to when i had to be somewhere. things went pretty good! YAY!!!!
