Where has the summer gone?
Hey All... I've been lurking as much as possible & posting not at all.
Here's a little update on me: Bought a house... Take posession in 2 weeks. Been working at a decent spot here in town (Kamloops), rewriting their wine list & also writing a wine column for a monthly newspaper called SPIN (Sun Peaks Independant News). I'll be working at Sun Peaks this winter (The house is 5 min from the mountain)... I'm currently in negotiations with a couple of places up there about jobs. MUCH MORE IMPORTANT, update on Chablis & Muscat: The Furballs are having a GREAT Summer. They've found a level with the 2 entrenched cats here. With Leo it's detente. With Bonita, it's alot of border skirmishes & stealing food from eachother's bowls. They've enjoyed fulltime in/out acess, Not my preffered method, but that's how Roland (My roomate & owner of this house) has it set up for his cats. Endless fun in a big yard, full of fruit trees & big stacks of wood (Roland is a retired carpenter. A huge garden & compost pile to catch mice in, and a house full of little nooks & crannies (Classic mostly finished renovating carpenter's home) to climb, hide & nap in. They are healthy, (Chablis seems to have gotten over her sickly youth) happy & active. Constantly chasing eachother around the yard & wrestling on the trampoline. Soon they get their own pad, no other cats... Probably worth the tradeoff of being kept in at nights again. All in All, the move was good for Cats & their butler. I'll try to post a little more regularly once things settle a little more & the final move is done. One downside... The location of the house (rural) means I'll be reduced to (GASP) dial up internet service... *Sigh*. At least I'll be using outlook again to acess this NG, it's easier to read & manage than through Google IMHO Well, thats all the news that fits, film at 11. In Vino Veritas Mathew, Chablis & Muscat |

Delighted it's all been going well & purring for a smooth move. Keep us posted once you're established. It was only last week when I smashed a full bottle of Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon (it fell off the top of the fridge 'cos I left it too near the edge) that I thought of you, Muscat & Chablis (you were the only one sharing my regret at the loss of a nice wine).

Take posession in 2 weeks.

I'll be working at Sun Peaks this winter (The house is 5 min from the mountain)... I'm currently in negotiations with a couple of places up there about jobs. Congratulations on the house! A friend of ours, Steve Ogden, works in marketing at Sun Peaks - maybe you'll run into him. You can tell him you know me from the cat group! Soon they get their own pad, no other cats... Probably worth the tradeoff of being kept in at nights again. All in All, the move was good for Cats & their butler.

At least I'll be using outlook again to acess this NG, it's easier to read & manage than through Google IMHO Sounds like they'll have a nice place to supervise there. I can imagine that nights inside near Kamloops will be safer for them too. There must be a few critters around there. I know that mine are Out all day but I make them stay in at night in Calgary here - coyotes at night. Congratulations and enjoy your move! Susan M Otis and Chester |

Thanks all... Susan, What does Steve do on the hill? His name sounds
farmilliar. I lived there from '98 to '02, so this is like coming home for me. Nights inside will be important in Whitecroft, it's bear country & the property backs onto the Louis Creek buffer zone.... A 50 or so yard wide strip of woods between yard & creek. The upside of this is that no one is going to build behind me. Cheers Mathew, Chablis & Muscat |
