Well- the truck is done and the tests are over. We can go home now as everything is good. Can't wait to see everything. Two months is too long to be gone from home. Besides, I have to take the Christmas tree down. We are anxious to see if the primroses are starting to bloom. The daffodils will be budding out and the tulips will be poking out of the ground. We are also quite curious to see how everything survived during December as the weather was not nice. Doug had mentioned that there was about a foot of snow at one time and it got as cold as minus 8.
It will be interesting to see what the spring has to offer, especially since there are no cows to contend with. What scavengers these funny looking creatures were. Scottish Highlanders tend to eat everything in site, even rope. We are quite curious to see what else the land has to offer now that it is not being eaten down to the ground.
We will miss all our family and friends but know that we have lots of exciting things happening in the spring. Darren and Melissa will be home shortly - by the end of the week, and lots will be done. Shelves and tables were picked up at Ikea along with a commercial convention oven. How everyone will enjoy the home baked bread. Yum.

Dec 31-Feb 02, 2009
What to say! It has been quite a journey this last month. After being broadsided in the IGA parking lot on Dec 23 we still to not have our truck back. (it is supposed to be done tomorrow, inshahala). Young people should slow down and pay attention when driving on ice!
George has been undergoing medical tests . The last one is on the 5th and we should be able to go home after that. Doug is taking care of everything for us while we are gone and he is such a wonderful friend. George talks to him about twice a week and Doug has been informing us of the weather and things going on. We miss him and being home, especially during the minus 40 weather that Peace River was receiving for quite some time. TALK ABOUT COLD!!
While in Peace River, we have enjoyed visiting with family and friends. We were able to see Kory and Samantha and the kids as well as Chelsea, Clint and baby Cael. We are enjoying the Jets hockey, as George used to coach the team and Ryan plays for them. This is something we both miss at home. I would say we are Ryan's biggest fans! George has re-aquainted with old friends Harold, Bob and John. He goes for coffee and enjoys their friendship. George has also been enjoying his "breakfast" out, usually a MacDonald's breakfast burrito but sometimes with Gary at Smitty's.
Reading week will be quite eventful for us as the kids are coming to help get the top of the barge ready for the pub/restaurant. Since Melissa and Darren are going to be running the pub/restaurant they decided to help get it ready. They were quite helpful in getting the main barge gutted. We are soo looking forward to them being home with us. What do we call the pub/restaurant? Any suggestions?
Quite a bit has to be done in order to be open for business in May. The floor is ready for painting and we will be purchasing shelving at Ikea. We had hoped to have the floor painted before we left for Christmas but the weather did not cooperate. Our order is ready to be sent for the groceries and we just have to order the hardware and gift items.
We should have a pile driver available when we get home. Yee Ha - a busy time getting the docks in place. What excitement!! The weather will be wonderful as well. We Can't Wait!!
