Winter's here! and so are we

Today is November 11. Remembrance Day.Sadly I am not anywhere where there is a service going on. We are in Ignace Ontario and it is minus 12 C. We are visiting with my brother and his partner, Sonya. After I finish this post we are going to attempt to go for a walk.

We finished work in mid-October although we were expecting to work longer...fickle boss. I am still employed on a special project for my summer employer...a history of the area. So I can work from home or a space about 10 km from where we are living, which is in Hepworth ... in Quentin's room...til he comes home.

We left Nov 1 to come north for a visit and arrived in Thunder Bay on the 3rd at my best friend's house where we have been staying. We've been visiting and Rick has been working with Les on some of his handyman projects.  Sue and I went with her daughter Megan and friend Teresa to Vanderwees Gardening Centre Ladies night. It was great fun...fashion show, band, free wine and food and LOTS of shopping ideas. This place has grown from a garden center to to a centrepiece of unique things!!! Clothes, boots and bags, Christmas decorations of all sizes ...like Bronner's in Frankenmuth Minn.

We went to a hockey game last Wed. night to see our nephews Alex and Ben play...Ontario Junior Hockey League. [College aged kids] Alex scored the second goal with Ben assisting and Ben scored 4 with Alex assisting on 3 of them. Tonight we will watch them on TV...yes their games are televised!!!
Monday we are heading to Kenora to see Aunt M and cousins then we will head back to Thunder Bay , track down some more old friends and then head on home. I have to go back to work at some point.

And we are anxious to get settled in at Liz's...kinda just threw our stuff in and left....



 Ben and Alex...unless you can see the numbers, its very hard to tell them apart!
