Two weeks ago tonight I arrived in FMMA. Time is moving quickly.
I spent last evening re-arranging the furniture in the bedroom...not sure if it is better or not so will wait a few more days. The girls helped by climbing inside the dresser and moving from one drawer to another from inside. Note to self: always do a head count in the morning before leaving, or always leave a drawer ajar.
The girls hung out on the patio with me tonight for a bit. Hudson of course being the braver of the two is always willing to come out with me. Tundra took her sweet time and stayed standing inside the apartment looking at us for quite a while. She finally ventured out but didn't go near the edge of the balcony. The noise seems to disturb her. Hudson doesn't mind the noise and enjoys putting her head over the edge but that is it so far. She has been very cuddly the past two nights and spent most of last night on the couch with me--totally out of character.
Being out on site was interesting. They are quite large and seem to be towns onto themselves. One thing that has surprised me is how safety seems to be everyones top priority. I know it should be...but it is nice to see everyone that I meet concerned about it.
I'm hoping to do a bit of exploring around town this weekend. In the meantime...here's a few more pics.Most of these were taken during the final day as we celebrated with the families. There are the people we worked with every day on their homes.

Good morning, Jennifer,
Glad to hear the cats had some fun outside, and that it went well with no issues. Funny about the dresser drawers, mine got in a closet one time and spent about an hour, and we did not know where he was, until we realized he was not with us, like he always is. Nice photos! Have fun exploring this weekend.

Love the cat story. You should do a cat head count each morning. I have a co-worker with 3 cats. She is not safe leaving for work each day until she eye balls each of them. There has been incidents in the past of a cat in a closet for the day.
The visit to the site sounds most interesting and I'm so happy they are safety conscientious.

Hi Jennifer,
Happy Canada Day!
Now you have 3 weeks in Fort McMurray - hard to believe! Hope the last weeks at work have been educational and that the job is what you hoped - and more! Good to hear that safety is a priority with staff, it is very important on work sites; and in the office too.
Maybe by now you are organized with furniture situated where you, and the cats, like things; especially the drawers - cute!!
I hope when the cats are on the patio that they are leashed, I'd be afraid they'd take a big leap!
Hope you get to enjoy some fireworks for Canada Day and a BBQ would be great too!!
Cheers to Canada ... Lori B.
