And a day later the cubbards are being installed. A box with the new frame displays arrived today too (some of you may have seen a crate on the sidewalk this afternoon out front).

Its amazing how fast things change. Work started shortly after the post announcing the move.

I will update as more changes happen on the inside.

Well, the rumors are true. Our Neepawa office will be moving out of the Beautiful Plains Medical Clinic and into the old Harris Pharmacy building.

We enjoyed working within the clinic, but our landlords opted to give the space to the growing medical expansion in town.

Keep tuned to see the renovation as it happens.

The good... a bigger area, another exam rooom, and space for more frames for patients to choose from.

We look forward to the next chapter in Neepawa, and look forward to helping you at the current location till the new space is ready.

A few of you may have been wondering where Dr. Papegnies was a few weeks ago. Derek was in Winnipeg umpiring at the National Curling Club Championships at the Granite Club in Winnipeg from November 17th to 23rd.

Team BC men and Team Ontario women were the eventual winners of the event.

Derek enjoys giving time back to the sport he enjoys as an umpire to ensure teams play by the rules of the game. He will be umpiring again at the Bunge Provincial Men's championship in Stonewall early February.
