Still Sick......

Day 9...still under the weather. She hasn't been back to school since Christmas.

"I hope you will have a wonderful year, that you'll dream dangerously and outrageously, that you'll make something that didn't exist before you made it, that you will be loved and that you will be liked, and that you will have people to love and to like in return. And, most importantly (because I think there should be more kindness and more wisdom in the world right now), that you will, when you need to be, be wise, and that you will always be kind." Neil Gaiman

I read this quote today and I think it will inspire me through the year- I hope it will inspire you too!

Gone Again!

Off she goes again...back to Wolfvegas once more, back to chemistry and calcumulus (haha!). Gee, the Christmas break went fast. Ainslie and Marron are back to school tomorrow too. I guess that means I need to be productive too- time to get caught up on a ton of work that has accumulated recently.

Guess she will be back during Spring Break...enjoy the Tassimo!

Peacing to Acadia in Cecil.

Much Love.

On an entirely different note, I am trying to talk my better half into going skiing with me. It has only been 23 years since I skied, this would be a first for him, but I think it would be a ton of fun. Marron is totally amped; Ainslie, well, he'd rather stay at home and go to the woods. I will keep working on it........

We had a very nice family dinner at Ken and Eva's house on Boxing Day. Dad was feeling under the weather, so he and Mum stayed put at their place. It was nice to be with the family again!

Kayleigh's birthday is on Boxing Day, so we celebrated that too, with the usual frozen cheesecake. Ainslie got her nose with whipped cream. Hard to believe she is 20! Happy Birthday, Sweetie!

Whale Watching-August 2008

Our last trip for the summer took us to Brier Island for a day of whale watching. It was amazing to be so close to these gentle humpbacks. We managed to see nine different whales, including two cow/calf pairs, many gannets and porposises. I highly recommend this tour in the Bay of Fundy. The tour operators were terrific - we used Brier Island Whale and Seabird Tours (brierislandwhales.blogspot.com) and we were not disappointed. Shelly was a wonderful guide who provided lots of information about the whales who frequent the Bay- Luna, Sickle, Sockeye, to name a few.

Breaching for us!

It was a great way to cap off the summer!
