The Other Stuff

As I am at the last minute I am condensing a year into two posts.  This one and the Travel one. Also this year the translator (Marielle) is on strike.  Sorry only English!

Francois turned 23 in January.  Benoit turned 21 in September and Jean-Philippe turned 27 in December.  Paul and Marielle also added another year.
We didn't get to see friends as much as we would have liked as Paul was stuck delivering a new technology system.  We did have a memorable weekend with folk dance freinds at Stephane and Helene's chalet at Lac Simon.




Work was very demanding throughout the year.  Several major technology implementations were completed the last of which goes in this January.  All you federal public servant retirees keep your fingers crossed as your January payment will come from the new system.

The weather was warmer than usual or maybe this is the norm in times of global warming.  The Summer was especially warm to hot, the pool, solarium and back yard deck came in handy as did the air-conditioning.

Not satisfied with the new solarium of two years Marielle spent all of Paul's work preformance bonus on a new bedroom suite.  Change the bed!  We have only had it 30 years Paul cried.  This I might add was completed after we basically renovated our kitchen (for the second time).  Boy are those granite counters heavy!

So short and sweet.  I have lots more photos and stories to tell.  I should have more time in the New year so please write or call or email and we can tee something up.

Enjoy the festive season and have a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year.
