Black Pearl is FOR SALE

Well I am sure everyone wants to hear about me and my tie to Black Pearl....my 2010 Matrix I have to find a new home for

Well it all started about 8 years ago....in the Little City of Moose Jaw...

I drove down Grace Street everyday and I noticed this little white car that seemed abandoned in a drive way.. It wasn't in great shape but it seemed to need a new owner.... I had an old Toyota (89 or something  I loved them old Toyotas) anyway I had been hit in it and it got written off... I woudl drive by this little Nissan Sentra and say almost jokingly that little baby will be mine...it wasn't even for sale SO Tom didn't quite get how it would be mine... I even joked about how I could just go knock in the door and beg them to sell it to me....followed by glares of " are you an idiot or what?" looks...

Well I gave up on the little white car   and went vehicless for some time.....then one day my sons friend came in to our shop...HE was sad his Aunt had died...he was in charge of selling her house and car...Well where was this house and car?????ON the corner of Grace and 11th Avenue.....
the same little car I had wanted to and for some reason new I would own was for sale!!!! I had first chance.
I looked at the car with all its dents and imperfections and I said sold...
Rions friend was happy and shared many stories about his aunt and how this car was special to her....

One day I was out in my drive way tidying and cleaning my "new" car it was by the way a 1990..far from new.
My neighbour came across and said OMG you have Pearl's car...Pearl???she said yes she was a teacher with me....She was a horrible driver and when she would go to park in the lot you just prayed she didn't park near you ,,,,and if you parked after her you parked miles away. All in attempt to avoid a collision with Pearl....  She told me one time Pearl had driven off the Riverhurst ferry straight in to the river with her parents on board,,,apparently the lady Pearl that owned the car before me ......had a reputation similar to me...................I had been in many accidents not any were my fault but none the less I had acquired the name "CRASH"

Well well I decided right then and there that the cars name would be Pearl and I would be watched over when driving by  Angel Pearl the previous owner......Rions friends aunt..
I drove that dinged up little white car for over three years ACCIDENT FREE!!!!!!!!!!!

Well along came the year I would turn 50...It was time for  a Brand New Car I decided,,,,I had never owned a brand new one figured I was finally old enough ...lol... so I went to Toyota and decided on the Matrix....as I was looking through the brochures my salesman came in and said "Guess what a brand new 2010 Matrix just came in the doors" I said what colour?  His reply "Black Pearl"  Well I heard that and said SOLD!

I sold "white" Pearl to a lady Amber knew and she called her Pearl right up until the day she sold it ...
after all we all can use a guardian angel while driving...She told the story of Pearl when she sold it and I  think the new owner was going to call the Sentra Pearl as well.

So Black Pearl is up for sale......I didn't have a Pearl connection with my Subaru I asked Zak if I should call her orange Pearl...he thought not..didn't sound right he said...so Lil Pumpkin she will be...

What about Pearl...???

Well I moved my dad into a care home this week....on Sunday I went into the staff room to get the key for his room. I told them I was here for the key for my dads room. Tyson Wolfe...room 206...

The lady replied "OH Pearls room!!!"" 

Yes I am sure we still have Pearl with us.....I know now she is right where I need her ............watching over my dad....

Thanks Pearl....you are my angel for sure...

2010 Matrix Black Pearl for sale any takers???

que sera sera what ever will be will be See you at Chez Nous "with us"

Well it has been a tougher than usual  two days.

After 56 years of being together my mom and dad will be living apart starting Monday of next week.
It is sad that it has to be the way it is...Dad needs care and mom need rest.

He will be moving in to Chez Nous in Moose Jaw . A big old residence that nuns lived in has been converted into a seniors home.( I had originally typed a big old nuns residence but I knew what I would hear from all the Wallace clan.....Was she that big)
ANYWAY

The first thing I noticed when I walked in to the building was a feeling of warmth . Then as I met residents came the feeling of  contentment...these people seemed very happy and they interacted with me and the staff showing me around like we were all family. Nice indeed.
Its bright its warm and it is very very  homey....

Dads room will be off the activity room for now.. There might be a change we will see how that goes.
Might be too much activity for him and then again it might be just what he needs ....

Mom liked Chez Nous when I took her today...I think she felt ready to move in too. The nice thing is when she is ready she can move in ...They will find them a bigger room and make it work...

Remember I had to think of the cat for now..
Mulberry is the only place that will take a cat. So mom will live with Sammer and she can visit dad and we can even take Sammer to visit .. Sammer just can't live at Chez Nous..Dad loves Sammy so that is really good..  Kim can take her Min Pin too  the residents will love her

Anyway just had this all to say .... shedding a few tears as we enter this next stage of life....
Take Care
