Winter is edging ever closer!

There's no denying it now! We had snow twice last week, none of it stayed on the ground but it's definately here. Lee of course is beside himself with joy....just another snowfall closer to getting to go snowboarding. When his PFD comes in we're going to get him his own snowboard and boots; hopefully this week. We found a sports store that specializes in second hand QUALITY sporting goods. It mainly targets families with ever growing kids, so that we can keep recycling equipment that has only been used for one season, before the child has grown out of it. Mailed PFD's are supposed to start arriving this week, so it should be a Happy week for Mr. Lee.

Bret's just starting his second week home. He goes back up to the slope next Friday. This week's plan is to buy or replace his winter gear, boots, coat, hat etc.... At least the company pays for his boots which tend to be the most expensive, next to their jackets. His exciting news is that he "crushed" one of his fingers, last hitch. Luckily nothing is broken....it's just really swollen and purple, but he says it's not bothering him any which is good.

As far as me, I'm just trucking along. Everyone is back at work so I'm looking forward to this week and just being responsable for my job and no one else's. Sadly my feet have started bugging me again, I'm trying not to panic, but I haven't been very successful. Hopefully it's just a bump in the road. keep your fingers crossed for me.

hope everyone is well! take care and drop us a line....
