Yvonne, Gideon & I off the coast of Tofino

Life is returning to normal

Yesterday myself and my familt started to recover from the last week of madness. Yvonne's family is back in their respective places. Her mother is at home in Viking, Her Aunt is on Her way home to Whitehorse, and Her Cousin is also on her way home to Whitehorse via Vancouver.

The 40th anniversary went really well. Other than some bumps with computer equipment, it seems like everyone had a good time. We has over 30 people out to the farm after the dinner for a little more time to visit and catch up.

Gideon made the most of his newly empty home by punching his teeth through his bottom lip. It bled a little, but after the initial crying returned to his usual good natured self.

Now all that is left is to clean the house and get the computer set up again.

They're Back!

We picke up my wife's Mother, Aunt, and Cousin from the airport yesterday. They have just returned from finishing the Dublin marathon in Ireland. They had a wonderful time and put several hundred miles under their feet as they toure a little bit. It's nice to have them home even if they are not enjoying the cold and snow that was waiting for them.

It's gonna be busy!

First I would like to say that I love waking up to a mess of hoarfrost. I do not however enjoy driving down a dark, wet highway encompassed by the fog which creates the frost. Anyhoo, Yvonne's family is coming back from Dublin this week. Then I have the pleasant oppurtunity to drive them all back up to the farm on Friday night. I look forward to the stories of walking through fields of lucky clover and chasing leprechans.
