Rolling black outs

Well, as you may have noticed, we haven't been blogging for a few days.  Well, that's because living out in the middle of nowhere is showing it's negative sides this weekend.  We haven't had any cell service or internet since Friday morning.  Tyler did try to blog via smoke signal but I'm guessing it was lost in the mountains.  

And now to catch you all up on what we've been doing for the past few days.  My work day on Friday was a little bit of a waste of time.  With the long distance and cell service down, our RCMP computer systems wouldn't work.  I couldn't transcribe statements or really do anything so I was in the filing room pretty much all day.  I've been organizing and getting rid of all the files that are past due.  We also went out for breakfast because it was the Sergeants last day at our detachment.  And since the internet was down, we could only pay with cash, and no one has any cash around town.  Basically my french toast was paid for by someone else and that's kind of cool.

The rest of the day was kind of boring.  And then I came home.  Our Friday night was unmemorable.  Nothing to report for that night.  I think we watched a movie.

Saturday was a good day.  The morning was spent trying to sleep in, a plan foiled by the ever so cute and sweet Kitty.  We went shopping and came home.  Saturday evening, we spent at Kendra's place.  There was a birthday party going on for a woman named Jan.  She is one of the people we helped clean salmon for back in the summer.  

It was a fun night.  We ate lots of great food and enjoyed great company.  After the other people went home, Kendra, Renee, Tyler and I played 2 games of Phase 10.  The games lasted till well into the morning.  I won a game for the first time in what seems like forever.  

Today, we finished up some shopping and have been enjoying a great today together.  The weather is a little misty but it's been good.  

If you don't hear from us again for a while, it's because our internet is out.  Don't be alarmed.  We are okay.

We also bough our first piece of art today.  I really love it.  It's of a Heiltsuk Thunderbird and a whale.  It's really really beautiful, I think.  Once our internet is a little better, we will put up some pictures.

Thats all for now.
