Hello from the cold north, and the auroras continue to amaze this month
Weather report:
Last week we received a little over three inches of snow. I’ve lost track of how and when we received it, but our accumulation is five inches. This week, our weather started getting colder as in below zero temps. Last night we had a low of-33 degrees. Upon waking up this morning, I am happy to report that the temperature is rising. At present, we are sitting at-19 degrees. I hear that we are supposed to get a strong warming chinook in today and tomorrow. We’ll see.
We are all looking forward to Thanksgiving next week. As is tradition but hasn’t occurred for the past couple of years, Bro Andy will join the cook crew this year; Kathryn and May will still be his right and left hand bosses.
Did I ever mention that Ryan Buerge (from Canada) and Jordan Wheeler (from Delta) are attending our high school this year? Both students are staying with Hannah and Craig Mason.
Craig Mason with the help of Jeremy Austin and Kathryn Nerbonne Clark (secretarial duties) is working hard to find funding and to set up a better internet setup for the community and esp. for the school. We will then be able to bypass Hughes net and best of all…… measured bandwidth usage!!!!
Travelers:Joe Brandes has gone to Maine to visit his family for two months.
Kim Milliron flew home last night; Chris Toby flies home today or tomorrow. Bill and Kathy arrived home on the weekend. They had a GREAT visit but are happy to be home too.
ROBIN REPORT:
Robin is done with his job at IGA. Now he is spending time at the sawmill each morning doing jobs for the logger guys, mainly in the large metal enclosed building. His mom has to oversee his work for paperwork reasons. Gri diligently traipses out to the Mill each time he shows up for work. I have to say, I’m impressed with Gri’s pushing Robbie to become a dependable lad....thanks for the kudos Sarah! ;) Rob enjoys the interaction with the guys. Thanks for finding jobs for him to keep busy!
Last Sunday I had the rare chance of interpreting our church message given by a speaker from the Dominican Republic, I believe he is originally from Colombia. Always good to practice one's simultaneous recall, good for the ole' noggin...
as Poirot says:...something that will agitate the little grey cells most adequately.
snowshoes trails are calling!
Community activities are keeping us busy as usual, so I will not bore you with daily routine details that are essential to keeping the beehive buzzing.
Have a great weekend!
