Sunday


I love Saturdays. It's just that great day of the week where good things happen, and Sundays are the days I think too much. I muddle around trying to keep busy or lay on the couch as I am today watching Ken Burns "The War".

Yesterday was our yard sale and it really turned out to be a great day. Not because I enjoy sitting in my driveway selling crap for $1.00, but because I got to spend the day with people I think are great. My Emi of course, but also my boss and her husband came by, our immigration lawyer, friends from our former church; Father Bob, Walt and his son Ian, our good friend Dennis and also our real estate agent Connie to whom I really enjoyed long conversation about life struggles. So the people made the day and not the $185. Plus some promising people came to the open house. We're still hoping for an offer.
In the evening Dennis, Emilio and I went to the restaurant John manages and had a really good meal while busting John's chops.

We're still waiting on those passports and still figuring out the best way to deal with the border. As stressful as our life is and that long nagging tooth ache feeling that won't go away, I believe everything will work out in time.

hey Tom, I'm glad the yard sale went well! Can you believe we came to a garage sale to our own house before we did the closing?!! We felt a little funny.....
I was thinking about the situation with Emilio. I think that as soon as he takes the status of permanent resident in Canada the refugee/asylum US passport will automatically will be invalid. I vaguely remember my US lawyer explaining something in those lines. But I were you, I'd definitely ask someone with experience. Just my two cents

Sounds like an excellent and productive day.

I agree with you. It will work out. You're clearly on the right path.
