Quick Update

Here we are in February already.  January brought some warmer than normal temperatures giving me some perfect weather for a quick trip home to visit mom and dad.  Dad had some health concerns and I thought a shot of "Peggy" might cheer him up.  Mission was accomplished and he has turned the corner and is holding his own once again.  It was also great to see my kids and grandbaby Jaxx too.  He changes his looks so much between visits!




With the warmer weather there have been many deer out along the roads, luckily the majority of them behind the deer fencing.  As Ontario has been blasted with lots of snow this winter Charlotte County hasn't received much at all in my opinion.  We have only had to shovel the door yard 3 times so far but having said that a storm is being called for tomorrow and Friday. 
January brought a new visitor to our home.  A great man by the name of George needed a place to stay temporarily and was placed in my care.  He hails from Newfoundland and has lived in NB for a number of years now.  We are so glad he is here, bringing lots of laughs and friendship to everyone.  We are still not sure how long he will be staying but he is already wanting to redecorate his room and get a queen size bed!!  Everyone in the house is hoping he gets to stay, fits in with our special family just great.
As for February, so far the only negative thing that has happened is Britni and I had the flu.  After two days of being down and out we both bounced back into our routines as normal.  Paul and I enjoyed a night in Fredericton taking in the Dean Brody concert...great show and really nice for just the two of us to get away.
Today is crazy hat day at the program that Billy, Brit, and George attend so I'm posting a pic of Brit and Billy (aka Thing 1 and Thing 2) geared up and ready to go.


Things to look forward to - Dinner theater with Paul for Valentine's day this month and maple syrup season starting next month!!  My goodness, Spring will be here before we know it!!!
That's life in my happy home for another month.  Warm wishes and kind thoughts to all who read this.
