The holidays....

Well i have not written in a while and lots has been happening around here!! It has got as cold as -30!! Its so insane how cold that is... especially when i am trying to unlock the coffee shop door at 530am and its frozen!! Today however its +5 so now all the snow has turned to ice and its a little slippery when you drive....
Last night a few friends and i went to invermere for a drink and we drove home on the lake!!! Its scary driving on the lake but fun as well!!!! Last night though there was lots of water cause it had started to melt!! my heart was racing!
I am loving winter! it has been so fun learning how to ski! i am now using poles and next time i am going to go up the chair lift!!! im proud of myself! I like being able to ski!
Claire and Justin came just before christmas and i spent a great week with them! I was able to show them around this cute little town and spend some good time together!
After they left my friend Jess came to stay for a couple of weeks...
We had christmas together! It was fun.. all the people that didnt have family for christmas came to my place and we had a good time! New years we just went to the bar down the road and had some drinks... Overall it has been great but really really busy!
Australia day is coming up and Merryn (the other australian) that works in the coffee shop and i are planning a really fun day! we are going to make meat pies, caramel slice, lamingtons.. we are going to serve australian beer and over all have a great day!
i feel like the last 2 or 3 months have been so busy i just have not had time to do anything or catch up with anyone! So friends and family i am really sorry! I think things will start to settle down now and life will be normal again!
I will post some pictures of the last few months here in the next couple of days..
love you

  3. Hi Kath, today is 23 Jan and the mercury hit a record 43.5 degrees in Richmond before the cool change came and knocked it down to 27. Mum had a patchwork day with her ladies and I sat in the big room with the air con on all arvo. Tore sat with me and then Bill nash. Of course, we polished off the leftovers from lunch. Mum and I fly down to melb for the day Monday to attend Mrs Jenkins' funeral. She was unwell for some years. Last night we sat in a park on the Harbour foreshore opposite the Anzac Bridge and saw a performance of Shakespeare's 12th Night with Ali and Chris and Fee and Sam. It was still very warm but reminded us of Stanley park and the stage play that was on there the time we came visiting you.
    Your photos are fabulous - even if I don't recognise everybody in them. How many in the coffee shop nowadays (staff and customers) and whose living with you at present? Love ya, Dad
