It's All Quiet

Everyone has left our house, and now, it's so quiet it's almost eerie!

Janet has a new volunteer job, which is receptionist on Friday mornings at Our Place.  She is so nervous she gets a stomach ache and stutters when she answers the phone.  She told Phil she really likes it, but it's complicated - there are extensions to pass people to, messages to take, mail to stamp and sort. We really hope she gets it together soon as she would be crushed if she were "fired".  We know she would cry for sure if she were advised to stick to making coffee in the Nutrition Bar.  Go, Janet, Go - you can do it!

Janet is practicing at home for her new reception job.

When everyone first started to arrive for the wedding, Team JanDerBri went for a bike ride.  Briana suggested they go on Queenswood Road.  Janet had never been on that street before and she said it was beautiful.  Then on Tuesday, Team JanDerHan went for another bike ride, back on Queenswood.  They rode to the bottom of the big hill that Janet had to walk up during the Tour de Victoria.  This time she rode all the way to the top!

This really cute Mom and baby were at a rest stop they had on Queenswood.

Look what Noodles drew Janet and Phil's attention to!  At first we thought there was just a big one, but it turns out there are three babies as well.

We had two nights of thunder and lightning storms, which almost never happens in Victoria.  Noodles was really scared and kept waking Phil up.  When it comes to be woken up in the middle of the night, by almost anything, Janet whips out her "can't hear anything without my hearing aids" card.  We think she's pushing the envelope, but Phil hasn't clued in yet!
