cool!

the hubby has undertaken a new endeavor! he is volunteering at Peace Arch Park as a groundsman. his thought is that in volunteering, it might give him some brownie points when the summer hiring starts. he really only wants to work, for pay, for about six months so he can finish up his social security credits.

so far he is very much enjoying his new job. one of the guys who works there also works at semiahmoo -- his old workplace. so, little by little, the husband is feeling better about living here. it usually takes (an introvert, anyhow) one to three years to really feel comfortable in a new location and it can take awhile to put a social network in place, especially if you don't have a job.

his plan is to volun-work 40 hours a week, just as if he were getting paid. he's more enthusiastic than i've seen him in a long time so i'm delighted about this new direction. and it will be fun to see if the things he picks up translate into differences in our yard. not that our yard needs a lot of help, of course, just that it will be interesting if he comes home with new ideas.

salud!
