WHAT A WINTERY week. First came the snow, then the temperature dropped to -20c and Friday, -27c. We had NO power all day Friday. Decoa and Jeff were without power over 12 hours and concerend about the wine in kegs. Overnight the temperature warmed up to -15c and now we have MORE snow; lots more snow. Jagger and Jace came for a sleepover; in the morning we all went outside to help grampa clean the driveway and play.

A week of Farewells


It's time to update my blog. On Monday, November 24, 2008 my dear friend, Barbara Matheson passed away with dignity, after living with pancreatic and liver cancer diagnosed this past May.

Her courage and strength left all who knew her, in awe. Her family, neighbors and many good friends will miss her dearly. I came to know Barbara first through curling, then golf. Our curling team started tripping around together in the mid-80's and continued after we left curling. September 5, we celebrated her 60th here in Lake Country. She leaves hubby George, daughter Margo, granddaughters Hannah and Gabby.
