The amazing world of friendship

We have had various home reno sagas this year and our most recent one hit me smack in the face on my arrival home from Edmonton. We had problems with the company that was to replace our vinyl surface on the sundeck. Long story but we ended up with the vinyl torn off and a tarp over the deck and no one to work on it. This is over a living area so it's a big problem. Companies are booking into next year to do this work and we now had a big emergency. We did finally manage to get a company to agree to squeeze us in and we hope it will be resolved in the next week.

Kerry and Roger knew about this since I had just been visiting and I just learned from Kerry that Roger was considering flying down from Edmonton to see what he could do. He is a great guy in a crisis. What a sweetheart...thank you, Roger!

Now this is one busy man.... a Professeur of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Alberta, busy consulting practice, constantly travelling the world going to meetings, giving presentations, etc.

Wow...thanks guys!

Our deck at the moment...hope to post a photo soon of it being finished.
