The holidays brought lots of snow, power outages and difficult roads. But we settled in next to the fire, played games, watched movies, ate, chatted, slept, read and did all of those wonderful relaxing things that seem to elude us at this time of year. Walks in the brisk fresh air and deep snow gave us good reason to chow down on all of the sweets that were in the house. We have promised ourselves in the new year to stay healthy, keep fit and eat right. And most of all to remember our friends and loved ones and to share in the joy of living in such a beautiful place and to be blessed with a WONDERFUL LIFE.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

And what a wonderful Thanksgiving it was. To be home, to be on the road to good health and to have family and friends to share turkey dinner(s) with. We in Canada, have so much to be thankful for.

We cannot forget that today we get to vote. To select a voice to represent us as our Member of Parliment. Not an easy choice and not one taken lightly.

I am having loads of fun in the studio. Last weekend, the 6 Dub gals got together at Art Escape Studio and spent 3 days and 3 nights full of laughs, food, drinks, fun, art, art, and more art, laughs and copious amounts of alcohol and did I mention laughs. It was so nice to spend an unedited weekend with good friends. We sorely missed Our Deb from San Diego who was unable to make it to Canada for the weekend but we sent her a 'care' package that included a journal full of cards that we each made over the course of the weekend.

All is well.....
