Had a good conversation with Rob this morning - he phoned at 8:00 a.m., not realizing the time difference - he and Helen are in Houston, where it's three hours later. Rob's mom is traveling with them until June, and then they'll be coming to Canada to truck around Ontario with me for awhile! Looking forward to that!
Monday night, Cheryl phoned me at 3:00 a.m. to tell me that there was a tsunami warning out for the whole coast of BC and Vancouver Island. After a lot of searching online, I found a local site which said that Comox was in no danger - and later on, the tsunami warning was canceled altogether - not before the people of Tofino evacuated their homes, though. This was all caused by a 7.9 magnitude earthquake off the coast of Alaska. In the end, I don't think there was any damage anywhere, although a lot of communities got a real scare. Here, there was the usual strong winds and rain - but what else is new?
Tuesday evening, Adrian picked me up for NICS (North Island Choral Society) - she says she can manage picking me up every Tuesday, since it's just once a week!
Wednesday, I put out my rope lights - the only lights in the park, really - so that people who pick me up in the evening can actually see my site! Finally went for a walk to the ocean, too, as it was actually sunny for the morning.
Tonight is church choir - Barb is picking me up for that. I'm hoping that she will want to go grocery shopping sometime this week - I'm committed to bringing soup to church on Sunday.
