Free night

We had an opportunity to spend Friday night in a FREE deluxe hotel suite; 2 bedrooms, a lounge area, 2 full bathrooms (with the good kind of free toiletries... even mini-toothbrushes), sweeping harbour view - it was great. In one of the entertaining rooms was a big open space with a few lounge chairs placed around the edges across from an enormous wall unit which hid 2 Murphy Beds.

We're oohing and aahing and admiring this most fantastic room when Toria stops, turns to Tomas and says "Tomas, I think we need to discuss who gets which bed". She seriously used the word "discuss". It was very cute.

Todd left the hotel early Saturday morning to return to the house where he started hauling broken branches, tree limbs, cedar needles and the like to the Landfill. (Snow wrecks havoc out here!) He did THREE heaping pickup truck loads. As for the kids and I, we were living the life of riley until they hoofed us out of the hotel at noon. In our own defense, we did help with the last load to the Landfill. Thanks super husband!

Today is a windy day - we're praying no branches come down on our roof. So far so good. I did find out that it will cost $325 to get ONE precariously dangling branch removed (mind you it is 60 feet up in a cedar tree) or $500 to take down the entire tree but leave the wood behind for us to use as firewood.

Does that make sense to you?

Ciao 4 now.
