Maiden Voyage

Ahoy Everyone, I just set sail on a new adventure............this is my first Blog and very first picture I took with my new digital camera. Jennilyn has been visiting for two weeks with my two favourite girls, we all fell sick with terrible colds and couldn't visit anyone. Marie just couldn't stay away any longer and decided she would brave the germs for a quick lunch hour visit as they leave tomorrow. On one of our few outings, Jenni helped me buy a camera and explained all this modern technology to me.....phew!

So my Snugglebunny and little Marin got hugs from their "Aunty Marie" before she had to go back to work.

Jenni finished packing and leaves at 1300hrs tomorrow, staying in the big city and then a direct flight back to Montreal on Friday morning. Although we were all snotty nosed, it was sort of nice to just hang out and observe and join in the fun and games, two toddlers can dream up 24/7...............while we were busy collapsing the Kleenex boxes for recycling and disinfecting all surfaces touched every few hours, using the hot wash on the washing machine and all dishes went into the dishwasher! Hopefully we have "the bug" contained and didn't pass it on to any poor lost soul.

Oh, I forgot to mention "Dad" went a'hunting and although sick as well, managed to trudge through bush, mountains, fell and glens to bring home the "bacon" or in this case, (hopefully) some good moose meat and sausage. He is keeping the home fires burning also with kleenex boxes and looking forward to "his girls" return.

I better stop and let Jenni get to bed, a long day ahead, car seats, luggage, stroller and two toddlers, backpacks etc.....she is a bit panicked (wonder why).......of course I keep reminding her of how courageous I was when I was young, carting her and Colin off to England at regular intervals to visit their stack of english relatives without any problems at all. (Please.....no comments about my age and memory loss okay!)....also of course I took only ONE suitcase for 6 weeks....etc!!!

bye for now, if I can dock this Blog properly and weigh anchor, well then my maiden voyage will be successful and I will endeavour to make a return trip, really soon!
