Did you all see the Sea lion and the little girl? :eek::icon_eek:


It's been playing over and over again on the Okanagan news Hope they find the little girl and her family, officials concerned about infection.
That is where I am going to see the whales with Anne. Supposed to be the best whale watching tour boats
in the province. Wonder if they have a bar on board :)

Do not feed the wildlife. The are cute, but still wildlife.

Behind you
I've been whale watching a few times - it's incredible.
People describe it as 'magical' and it really is.

Did it in Nova Scotia (lots of friendly pilot whales and a few others) and in Boston. Humpbacks! Two breaching at the same time!
You see them swimming about and spraying. It's pretty loud.

The was one other and we were told was rare to see and we were lucky. It was huge. Huge. Terrible, but I don't remember what it was.

Whales are one of my favorite animals and I have mentioned them a few times on the boards. My hope is to visit Nantucket and take a whale watching tour. Haven't you been before? If so, how was it?

No, I have never been on a whale watching tour, this will be the first. It is 5 hours and they pick us up in Vancouver and take us to the tour in Steveston. The closest I have been to an Orca was at Marineland in Niagara Falls, Ontario. It was a super show and at the end they picked one person in the audience to
stand high on a diving board and the whale jumps up and gives you a kiss. (Unfortunately they didn't
pick me, it would have been so great to do that.)

So......two weeks ago, one of my co workers asks me if I'd be interested in opening a salon in the near future. She mentions two other co workers that she'd like to invite as well. I didn't think much about it at the time, but told her if I did anything like that, I'd want at least a year to plan it.....I like to have my ducks in a row that way.
Last week, at separate times, and without any knowledge of the other's interest both co workers that she mentioned asked me the same question.....one of the girls (we've worked together before) even mentioned that the only location that I've ever talked about for the last 20 years is available.
Now, I'm confused.....is this a sign? I don't know. While I'm not unhappy where I'm at, there are benefits of owning my own business, not the least of which is potentially semi-retiring in the future, and still earning a living from booth rental income.

It very well could be a sign, or Ka, or just a happy coincidence. The only thing that matters is that you do what's best for you and your daughter and are happy. Some times, taking that leap is well worth it. Good luck!! (((Sunny)))

I forgot to mention that I have equipment stored in my garage to outfit 4 stylists.....my co workers had no way of knowing that.
The house will be paid off in April 2018, and I paid off my credit cards last fall.......It sure feels like a sign.
