From Annie: Hi again , y'all! Thank you for your comments, Chris, Sarah, Linda and Verne (and Grammy).... Your comments are always appreciated. Well, in the meantime, we've grieved Timber and recovered. What helped us most was a dream that Greg had several days ago. He met Timber in a sunny field. Timber communicated with Greg telepathically. Timber told Greg that he was sorry for being aggressive toward him, but that things happened the way they had to. He was never going to give Greg control over him (or anyone else, for that matter). But he is happy where he is now. He was happy and grateful that we got him out of the kennel and made his last days here on earth so nice for him, giving him so much love and attention. He thanked ... read more

Well hello again kiddies! I have my office together now so we should be getting the last few blog entries out. This weekend shall be a watershed of blogging I am sure! We were out house hunting again today. Saw a few that we liked, however, after a bottle of wine, we have decided to wait to make a decsion, Well, I have decided to open another bottle of wine and Annie has decided to go to bed. Joey...well, I really don't know where he is.....I am pretty sure we haven't left him at an open house. Deal with it in the morning. ... read more

I went to a tractor pull. I ...went to a tractor pull. Life is rather different here. The pace is somewhat slower. We survived the furniture move in, Annie slurping up spiders and Joey suffering with a manual lawn mower. We survived the tractor pull and the Fair and Midway. Only time will tell about the demolition derby. Rest assured that I have a new baseball cap and have begun to say “some” quite a bit. As in “some hot”, “some cold” or “that sure was some storm”. I fought the temptation to use an exclamation point, as people around here tend to only seem to get excited on rare occasions. Once I see it, I will let you know. Tim Horton’s is becoming a way of life. It is the place where all the old ... read more

OMG! Before I drive myself crazy with excitement, let's begin at the beginning. I woke up to my Dad, shaking me, singing: "Good Morning, Good Morning! You've slept the whole night through, Good Morning, Good Morning, to you!" Then we had a lovely breakfast of cereal, bagels, and waffles (With orange juice!), all included in the complimentry Continental Breakfast that you always get when you travel to Best Western's. I severly recomend traveling in the Best Western hotel chain, just don't go to any in Winnipeg, or Thunder Bay. And if you're staying in Quebec, don't go to the Hotele L'Aristrocrate. But otherwise, it's a good chain. After Breakfast, we went back to our room, and I looked at some videos on Youtube. All Family Guy and Simpsons related. Then Dad said we had to go ... read more

The night we stayed at Le Hotel Aristrocrate was absolutey horrible! Everything was so cramped, the beds were bad, and what really made me upset was it had a 4 star hotel rating from the Quebec rating company, and 4 stars from the national hotel rating commitee! The only thing that was good was the food. That was it. So if you ever find yourself going to Quebec City, make sure that you don't stay there! I had a nice Bacon 'n Eggs there, though they were'nt as good as Grandma's. Dad had the same, and Mom had her classic of a "Double order of extra extra crispy bacon." I can understand that! We love bacon! After that we drove for a bout 75 kilometers, and then we dropped by a Petro-Canada to get some gas. ... read more
