The Revenge of The Mommy!Never beleive a Sicilian mother.

Today we visited Hell and got the Hell out!
Four several weeks I have been co-dialing and corridinating a move fo my Mother and her stuff, to my brothers house , this has been no easy task as I must travel to Scarbrough in order to do some functions, e cancelling everything lights heat and water and phone were she lives now.
Also last night my sister and wasted 3 hours cleaning an apartment she is not moving into.We don't have enough to do!!!!!!!!!!
Having done that and corridinated with Canada Pension etc and old age Pension and the Italian pension to forward all mail to her address in north Ajax, I must now exicute the reverse.
This will be done Friday , as I'm still trying to hot glue my hair back on.
It will take a while
My sister and I have no words , and the moving company has yet to return my call concerning the cancellation.I called that in this morning at 11.15 am.
God bless us one and all
NEVER AGAIN NO WAY NADA AIN'T HAPPENING I WILL DO NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The rain in Toronto fell mostly on my head through an umbrella if you can beleive it or not......its true

I stepped off my front porch into a torrential rain, walked up to the bus shelter , and waited , made it to the go station still raining even harder, got off at scarbrough station walked thru tunnel to st. clair ave, torrids of hard rain.
Left there to catch a bus on the street , 20 minutes later my backside soaked and feet the bus finally arrives any other time it would show up 2 minutes after I got to the stop ,made it to moms to do more packing.
Managed 3 more boxes , plus rearranging items so the other boxes could be closed and tapped as movers don't like open boxes.
Almost finally kinda got every one else on the exact day we are moving mom, because every one works days its difficult to do.
So as far it goes at this point next Wednesday we move lots of her clothes and kitchen supplies, then Friday the movers will move the rest.
Hope to get bed set up and kitchen running by Friday night and put up some curtians for her privacy.

The Day the Room Stood Still! no aliens were involved in this production

At long last the family room is no longer Rasberry..............YUCK country girl
It is instead beach sand cream, the floor no longer yellow parkay floors, but cherry wood plank floating floors, The blue wash side table is is beach sand cream with black handles, on top a dark espresso swirled lamp with faux cream and brown zebra print.
The walls facing the garage is large so I put up two 7 foot long and one deep flaoting espresso brown shelves , one directly under the other with a two foot gap in between. On the top shelf are a box a 1/2 foot by 1/2 foot in the middle a smoky white black vase from Venice at the end a white foot tall gourd from uncles garden.
The shelf below has a photo of Dan and I in the middle, photo of my mom and dad and at the end a witching globe.I am trying to find a large oblong unique basket for that middle of the middle shelf, so most things are in tempary mode.
I added black tab rings to my drapes over the two windows so that they have a softer hang to them.
Over the fireplace is my Large round mirror, in front of it 4 rattan balls to the left two espresso brown candle holders with cream pillar candles and to the right of the mantle a picture frame of Barb Lucy and myself.
The carpets are laid on the stairs are pale sage green and the up stairs hall.
Done for now, just need to fix closet door gap on top of trim.
The store is moving to another plaza which is a 45 minute walk as opposed to 10 minutes if that now.That happens Sept. 15th, should be fun its a smaller store so it will be cramped I'm sure.
That's it for now, caio
