Well, it has been a cold winter so far. We just had to get a load of wood as our wood we cut in 2014 is just running out.
Usually I go out cross country skiing but it has been too cold for that.
I can’t believe all the traffic that went by our place for the dog races on Ragged Chute Road. It is amazing that these people still participate in this cold weather.
If anyone wants to get into a trade I think we need someone in the Pontiac to fix appliances. My washer was broken for about three weeks. It took one place three times to come here and finally get it working. We need more people with experience.

I hear that we are supposed to get freezing rain on Thursday. I hope the forecast is wrong as I drive to the lab in Arnprior to work on that day and I hate driving in rain.
Mrs. Maria Aniskowicz is a great-grandmother. Her granddaughter had a baby girl just before Christmas. What a nice Christmas gift.
Happy birthday to my grandson Nicholas who is turning 16 this week.
It was nice over Christmas having my sister Susan and her son Craig here. It is always nice to see family. I also saw my nephew Tommy Sharpe and his wife Sarah and their son Alex, also Kim and her husband Murray Mako and their daughter Erin. Erin is going into nursing in January.
We have changed our phone from the internet back to land line as we were having too much trouble with it through the internet. So we are back to Telebec, our new number is 819-647-4700 if anyone needs to get a hold of us.
It’s funny I remember going out sliding even in this cold weather and we didn’t seem to mind it. I guess as we get older we’re not as brave.
I just found out that my niece Christine Gordon is expecting a baby. Here’s hoping it’s a boy as she already has two girls. But like they say as long as it’s healthy. Also my nephew Shawn Wilson and his wife Catherine are expecting a baby.
Hoping everyone has a Happy New Year and a healthy one too.
