I really made some good progress on my packing today.  Spent most of the day in my bedroom trying to sort, organize, and stuff everything in bins.  I met Mom and Dad in Sears just after lunch, so I could help find my Mom some clothes for the cruise we're going on in January.  They had a big sale on, so everything was pretty cheap.

Monica and Jack came by around dinner time, and we had a scrumptious chef's salad - ham, cheese, eggs, cucumber ... yum!

After dinner, Jack, Dad and I went down to Canadian Tire to see if I could find a rooftop carrier for my car.  It seems I have a lot more stuff than I thought!  Just as we were leaving, this rainbow took shape over our house.  It was vibrant and gorgeous - mom took this shot, and I borrowed it because I didn't have my camera.  At Canadian Tire, I managed to find a 13 cubic squared waterproof rooftop carrier for $50.  It's soft so will be easy to store once I'm settled again ... if that ever happens!

What a change from yesterday's weather.  Today was windy and overcast with some rain thrown in, as well.  It was a low energy day for me.  Spent most of the day in Photoshop doing some designing, and learning tutorials at Lynda.com.  I think I overworked my brain a little because I ended up having a 2 hour nap.  When I got up, we were losing daylight, so mom and I decided to go for a short drive to the Vedder River Bridge to take a picture.  The sky was just starting to clear up a little.  I hope things are a little more exciting tomorrow!

Since it was overcast yet again, I decided to finally get a little designing done.  Did some updates on my website and created an abstract design in Photoshop - you can check it out on my Liquid Fog Facebook page.  Did a little housework, and ate some delicious home-made chicken noodle soup for dinner.  We still hadn't gotten a picture for the day, so Lurline, Mom and I went for a drive downtown Chilliwack to see what we could find.  We headed out to Island 22 on Fairfield Island, but it was mosquito infested, so we quickly left.  We stopped in at Salish Park by the library and it was covered in lily pads and water lilies in bloom:

Will somebody please tell me why our weather has been so insufferable?  I think it hit a high of 13 degrees today - rainy, cloudy and windy.  Is it Fall?
Talked to my sis on Skype this morning, then went out to do some grocery shopping and mail off my broken video camera to Canon.  Other than that, it's been a low key day.  Not much to do when the weather won't cooperate.  Mom and I took a drive up to Promontory to see all the new developments, and took this shot from the top.  You can see our yard in the distance.
