happy new year to all

It has been a very busy fall and early winter as I am sure it has for everyone.

In the last couple of months, we have been fortunate to have done some travelling and vacationing. Sue has especially been on a tear. October 22 - 29 saw her in Jamaica for FAM Trip, I then joined her adventures when we travelled to our place in Nanoose Bay November 10 - 14; she then left three days after that for a weekend with the girls in Vancouver November 17 -19; we then took my kids to La Romana, DR for the week of November 23 - 30 and capped the year off with a weekend Christmas celebration with the MacIsaac Group of Law Firms December 7 - 9.

Christmas was great. We all received an obscene amount of gifts. Steve and Tina had Christmas Dinner at their new house and it was fabulous. We hosted a small gathering on the 23rd for brunch. My kids and I spent New Year's on Salt Spring Island at my friend Tom's. We tried to track down and surprise Jim and Beth in Victoria. Keeghan remembered the red door. We rang the doorbell and were greeted by a nice young couple who indicated that the Millards had moved out as of December 01. We were short on time, so we opted to find their new place on another visit.

Brennan celebrated his 21st birthday on December 30th. Sue stayed home and a birthday party was held at Steve and Tina's. Brennan scored big: two trips to Vegas (one from each parent both of whom forgot to tell the other what they were gifting their young man).

Sue and I spent this last weekend at the Emerald Lake Lodge in tonnes of snow. It was absolutely picturesque and classic Canadiana Rockies. Our next big trek outside of perhaps a quick hitter to Vegas will be to take Sue's boys on beach vacation somewhere this spring. Until then, it is time to stay home and make good on some of those resolutions............
