Let it Snow, let it snow, let it snow
Hi all... winter is definitely here...
We are enjoying some quiet time with the fire burning, cup of coffee in hand and reading last week's Globe.. don't want to rush things around here. The snow has been falling steadily since yesterday before we woke. I am not exaggerating to say we have had close to a foot of snow. We shoveled the drive three times yesterday and Paul has to shovel the construction zone many more time to continue his work there. Mira got to go off on skis during her ski team practice for the first time this year and Mira, Kate and I had our first runs tobogganing on Jill Hill behind our house. The Christmas Craft Fairs are in full swing and things look like ...dare I say it... Christmasy... !
Kate got excused from Ballet because of her Chicken Pox. She pointed out that the mosquitoes were bad the other day (happened to be a -20 day and in November - not traditionally a mozzy day in Yukon) so I had to check out her 'bites' and sure enough, she has got chicken Pox. Not a serious case - which is great but she has been vaccinated. Curious.
Mira and Kate both had great parent teacher interviews. No discipline problems anyway but I guess the VP would have known about it.
Paul and I got to attend the Long Service Awards for Yukon Employees on Friday. The gov't serves a lovely lunch. We had lots of laughs and an afternoon off. It has been 15 years for yours truly.
So life is good and busy.
The addition in the snow... and yes Paul is still working there somewhere.
Cheers to all, Sharon
