Chuck Continued...
We've just been through me having a week off between Christmas
and New Years. The weather was wonderful after a storm on
Dec 23rd. The moon was beautiful all week. 9:30 pm is last
feed for the horses and usually walk time for the dogs. The
moon on the snow was truly amazing, the air cold & crisp -
just how I like it. I'm not sure if we have ever had more snow
on the flat between the house and the barn. The Dec 23rd storm
led to a wild truck ride to Glencoe for India & myself. We
had to get Christmas groceries and a part for the toilet (why
is it, the toilet breaks when you are expecting company?) The
roads were all of a foot deep on the flat with drifts that
came over the hood of the truck. We were lucky and happy when
we got back in the laneway.
Christmas was fun with little Jake & baby Noelle. As always
I ate too much and now am back on the weight loss kick :{
Hockey is going pretty well, with Wesley showing much improvement.
Colton is busy with Baseball school, dirt biking and working
for Grandpa Vern in the bush.
The horses have taken a back seat for the moment because of
the weather, but I'm confident they will be ready when the
weather
and ground is good in the Spring. We hope to do a bunch of
trail riding this Summer, as the horses are now old enough
for a bit
of extra work.
Hope this finds everybody Healthy & Happy
:)

India Continued...
So
some of my Highlights of 2004 included...
A Dishwasher! (I'm 37 & it's my first) Definately a highlight I'd say.
A Cement Barn Floor! Sure beats sweeping dirt, but harder on the corn broom!
A Big New Fridge! I think my last one was older than me!
Now I know you are thinking...geeze
this girl doesn't get out much, if these are the year's highlights,
but I have to say it's lifes simple things that "turn my crank".
These three things have brought joy & simplicity to my everyday
routine!
Colton has grown up sooo much this past year. He's now 14 & in
High School. He's taller & bigger than me now & I think he could
"take me"...but he doesn't need to know that :)
Wesley is my full time job. He is playing on 2 hockey teams &
sign's up for just about every extra school activity offered.
His skating has improved ten-fold and he is a thrill to watch.
Chuck & I did get the young horses started, but the weather here
dictates how much outdoor work we can do & it's not been on our
side for weeks. I'm starting to crave some saddle time!
Gma has been so much fun around here. She's like having a teenage
daughter. We are enjoying having her stay with us...even though
we think
she
killed our Rabbit! (Just kidding...he was very, very old)
I love my life, my family, my
work and my home. Thanks to all who make it that way.
This will be our place to keep you all up to speed, so if you
have a photo you'd like to share, or news you'd like posted...just
& I'll
place it here.
Cheers :)
