The New Year

    We've had a pretty good start to the new year. The weather right now is like March ! We'll enjoy while we can as no doubt we'll plunge back into the -30*c range soon.

School has been good; the ELI program is going well and plans are being made for next year ! Good news for me. This is the best assignment I have had in over 20 years.

This past weekend ED and YS were snow boarding in Jasper. It was YS's staff weekend and since he had 2 queen sized beds, ED and her friend were able to crash for the weekend. A good time was had by all according to all the stories being told. We had YGS , as usual, on Sunday. Then the other two grandchildren came over, everyone came home from work, or the gym, or the mountains so the house was FULL !!! and LOUD !

ED has been nominated for a scholarship which is quite funny as she doesn't have to pay for any of her courses or books for her Master's Degree.

OH has joined the Tri and is going to exercise daily .  He has just been diagnosed with Asthma and is finally realizing that he needs to get out and do something. While he hasn't noticed a difference with the ew medication, I certainly have.  Now if I can only get him to dust regularly !

Just waiting for EGS and OH  to come home from the pool. EGS is in competitive swimming. His Mom is teaching Yoga and his Dad has a dinner meeting.

We've had some terrible tragedies in Canada the last few months; one quite close to home. Tonight a RCMP's family is saying goodbye as the 42 year old officer has no chance of survival. Yesterday in our quiet neighbourhood, there was a lot of police activity. In fact the increased traffic woke me up . Turns out it was an armed robbery at a convenience store, but it made me realize we rarely lock our doors as we have been so 'safe'. That changed yesterday morning as it was obvious the RCMp were looking for someone. Sad how society is changing.
