A new look on life

Got new glasses today.

April showers and all that

I talked to my mom last week and she said parts of Alberta got huge dumps of snow. I just thought I'd share what it was like here last week.
It's the view from our balcony - which is one of the few reasons we decided not to move yet.

I've Been Robbed!!!

Well, okay. It wasn't me per se, but I was in the bank when it got robbed. Yup, I walked in, and minutes later someone walked out with a wad of cash that wasn't his. Then the teller closed the doors to the bank and informed us they had just been robbed and the police were on their way. It was all very civilized. None of the gun waving you see in movies. Just a simple hand in pocket, pass the note to the teller robbery.

I had to wait about 10 minutes for the cops to arrive and give my statement. At least the tellers were nice enough to finish up the banking for those of us who were still in line while we waited.

And even though the guy walked right past me....he actually came back through the corded off line up area rather than going around to the open area and out the door... I still only had a general description of him. Honestly, I was too stuck on wondering why he chose the exit path he did at the time to bother registering what he was wearing. Kinda proved Fancy's theory that I'd be useless in an event just like this one.

At least I walked out with all my money.
