In June of 2006 we moved in a smaller
(and cheaper) apartment on Willowdale. Jonah had recently found a good
job with Zellers and moved to an apartment on the 1500 block 26th .
2007 began with me finishing his third
year of contract work with the Historic
Places Initiative and Bev
working for Ora Dental Studios. I had nearly
finished reports on the Heritage Sites in the Westman area and future
opportunities in the field would likely not tie us down to this corner
of the province. Geoff was working in management at the Tavern
United, a Canad Inns operation in downtown Winnipeg, while Jonah seemed
to have found the perfect job and lived just a
few minutes away.
I won tickets to see the Who through KX96 after
mastering the skill-testing question. I felt like Cliff Clavin when he
pulled the category "Post Office" on Jeopardy.
That said, the Who ain't what they once was - but still not bad for old
guys.
At the end of
April we
moved to Gimli,
something we've wanted to do for some time. My work at the time
involved sites throughout the province, predominantly in the
Interlake and Parkland areas. The work is done at home with the
exception of a few days a month visiting sites. We were able to
get a condo on the beach and we do enjoy the
view.
