It’s hard to believe but I had been away from home for almost 2 months! Catherine had planned to come & spend some time with me on the boat but she was held up due to “competing priorities” – primarily Emily’s move to her new apartment, painting the living room & bedroom, followed by an epic adventure with Ikea furniture!

Emily needed furniture for her new place so she & her mom went to the Ikea store in Hamilton & Emily bought pretty much everything she needed from that store. It was supposed to be delivered a week later but there were multiple delivery appointments set up by Ikea only to be missed with no explanation from them. Very frustrating. One week turned into two, then three & four. At that point we were all very frustrated!!!!

Finally the furniture was delivered & Catherine & Emily started assembling. They got a few pieces done but there was a lot left to do. So I decided to come home for a few days to lend a hand. It was also a good opportunity to visit with Catherine’s mom Jeanne & some of our friends.

The next few days involved a lot of unpacking, reading instructions & assembly.

Its all done now & looks great. Nice shopping Emily!

And now, back to the boat where I have a number of small jobs waiting for me there too.

Cheers!
