Canadian Dream - Part 1

Friday night

I was helping to renovate a house. It was a ranch house and it was like it was in the projects. It turned out it was Kirtstie's house. It was aluminum sided and the insides were complete shambles. Dingy, dirty, grimy. We only renovated the one room - the living room. We cleaned it and hung beautiful curtains, carpeted it, added gorgeous furniture. When the room was done it was beautiful. What we hadn't realized was that there was more to the house then just the one room. We had closed a door and hadn't realized we needed to open it to see the rest of the house.

Then I was invited over to Kirstie's. We had to travel over water to get to her house. We thought it was just for a personal visit but it turned out we were invited for a party. There were hundreds of people there. My mother-in-law had Gabriel and met us at the party but I don't know how she found the house because she didn't have an address or phone number, or even know what time to drop him off at.
