TO LIVE IN THIS CLIMATE AND LOVE IT, YOU REALLY NEED ICE IN YOUR VEINS!
WE JOINED THE KIDS AT THEIR CHURCH LAST SUNDAY.
THE MODE OF TRANSPORTATION FOR A SMALL TOWN
CHURCH DIFFERS A LITTLE FROM A CITY CHURCH.
SNOW MACHINE (45 MINUTE RIDE) OR BIKE.
THIS KIDS FROM IN TOWN!
THE GUYS HAD A GREAT DAY FOR A RIDE!
GROOMED TRAILS ALL THE WAY!
MEANWHILE OUR LITTLE MISSY WAS MAKING GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICHES.
IT WAS A SOUP AND SANDWICH DAY.
AFTER LUNCH WE ALL HEADED TO THE LOCAL ARENA TO WATCH BOTH DECLAN AND JAYDEN CONTINUE THEIR PLAY OFF GAMES.
IT WAS NOT THEIR DAY. BOTH BOYS WERE ON THE LOSING TEAMS
BUT HARD.
BACK IN OUR BASEMENT - THE SHOWER WORK CONTINUES!
PEX PLUMBING IS BEING INTRODUCED TO OUR SYSTEM.
 |
| NO SOLDERING!! |
 |
| NEW DRAIN NEEDED |
 |
| TAKING A SLEDGE TO THE FLOOR |
 |
| AND A JACK HAMMER |
 |
| FINALLY! |
 |
| MOVE THE PIPE TO THE CORNER |
 |
| FILL IN THE HOLE |
A HAH
WE HAVE A BASE WITH THE PIPE IN THE RIGHT PLACE
NOW TO LEVEL THAT DARN THING!
AND THE FLOOR IS NOT EVEN.
ONE SIDE UP
THE BACK AND 2 SIDE PANELS IN PLACE.
AND WE CONTINUE.
TIME TO CLEAN THE BASEMENT SO THE KIDS CAN HAVE
THE USE OF A PARTIAL BATHROOM.
DECLAN HAD A TOURNAMENT IN STEINBACH
SO THEY HEADED INTO WINNIPEG FOR THE NIGHT.
AND WE HAVE ANOTHER SNOWFALL WARNING
TWO CLIPPERS BLAST THE PRAIRIES WITH HEAVY SNOW,
STRONG WINDS!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRIS!!
LOOKS LIKE A WINTER STORM IS TARGETING YOU GUYS IN KW AS WELL
HOPE YOU DON'T HAVE TO PLOW!
WE MADE A QUICK TRIP TO BOUNDARY TRAILS HOSPITAL IN WINKLER TO
CHECK UP ON MY MOTHER. SHE HAD FALLEN ON FRIDAY AND BROKEN
HER PELVIS. AT 88 THAT IS NOT A GOOD THING. BUT SHE WAS IN GOOD
SPIRITS AND WAS TOLD TO EXPECT A MINIMUM STAY OF 2 WEEKS!
WE'LL BE MAKING A FEW MORE TRIPS BUT HOPEFULLY THE WEATHER
WILL TURN TO SPRING SOON!
RAPIDLY DETERIORATING
THANKFUL TO MAKE IT BACK TO THE CITY SAFELY!
DO WE REALLY NEED MORE SNOW??
WE ARE HEADING OUT TO MEET THE CAMPING GROUP TONIGHT FOR
A GAMES NIGHT. A TIME TO RECONNECT WITH THE COUPLES
WE HAVE CAMPED WITH FOR MORE THAN 35 YEARS.
I KEEP PUSHING IN THE PLANT DEPARTMENT.
HERE IS A SUCCULENT I HAVE HAD FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS
-NO IDEA WHAT IT IS CALLED-
AND IT HAS DECIDED TO BLOOM THIS WINTER.
IT IS COVERED IN BUDS.
CAN'T WAIT TO SEE IF THEY HAVE ANY COLOUR!
BUT I DID FIND 10 NEW ONES WHEN I WENT GROCERY SHOPPING!
I COULD NOT RESIST AS I HAVE A LOT OF PLACES TO FILL IN.
HERE ARE 2 SAMPLES.
I WAS SURPRISED TO SEE THAT THEY WERE ALL LABELLED WITH
THEIR COMMON NAME AS WELL AS THEIR GENUS NAMES.
TO KEEP THEM STRAIGHT I GOT SOME GOOD PICTURES OF
EACH AND WILL PLACE THEM INTO MY PLANT ALBUM.
AND WHEN I AM NOT PUTTERING WITH MY PLANTS,
I AM STILL INTO PUTTING ANOTHER PUZZLE TOGETHER.
AND ANOTHER!
HAPPY ST PATRICK'S DAY
HOW MANY MORE SLEEPS TILL SPRING????
