spring break

This beautiful creature came out to welcome us to our home away from home this past week. We were on our way to Lake Okanagan Resort, which is a bit off the beaten path, but so worth the drive!

We got checked into our suite, a beautiful villa less than a year old with really nice furnishings and this wonderful view from the living room. Beautiful, right? Now, look what we saw from the patio...

oh, oh, that can't be good!
Sure enough, the next morning, at 7:00 AM the nailing & power sawing began. No matter how high I turned the fan, or how many pillows I had over my head - it was still LOUD! Soooo, I called the front desk and said surely they must be kidding about us having to listen to this for a whole week (very politely, of course) . The nice man said he'd see what they could do & would call back shortly. True to his word, a few minutes later he called back to offer us a three bedroom suite on the first floor and at the other side of the villa. We said thank you very much - how soon can we get in? Well, we were moved over in very short order & thrilled with the upgrade! The two of us had three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a huge kitchen & living room, four plasma TV's. We thought (briefly) about calling our family and friends to come join in the wealth :) The resort manager followed up with a bottle of wine. Very good customer relations!!

As you can see from this picture, the view was again astounding. We enjoyed a patio view of the lake from our bedroom as well as from the living room. Ah, things were looking up!
