Mid January 2019

I am sure that many of our traveling friends are thinking that with the snow, we were wishing we were south with them.  Well, I miss them, but honestly we are enjoying the snow.  We are retired, right?, so there is no need to drive around in the snow. And just look.  Isn't it pretty?

This latest snowfall is the only significant one.  The two previous snowfalls were gone with a day or two.

We enjoy watching the birds dealing with the snow.  Doug built a bird feeder just off our deck to entertain the cat but we find it fun too.

The cat sits out on the deck staring at the birds.  I think the birds enjoy taunting the cat.

Of course there is the shoveling but Doug does a fine job and seems to enjoy it.

We took a little trip this past weekend.  We drove to Olympia, Washington to visit our son David, his wife Stefani and their dogs.  It was a long drive but worth it.

I have a new project.  I am planning a class reunion at our home in Summerland.  I have stayed in contact with quite a few of the girls that I graduated with in 1969 (!!) in Prince Rupert.  We had a reunion several years ago with just 7 of us.  We have been in touch with about 15 girls.  It's not until August so I have lots of time.  Those of you who know me well know that I love this kind of challenge.
