Our Youngest.

Ashley on the left and Kelsey on the right. Ashley is now 13 and in grade 8 an honor student with A's & B's, she's a bit of a fire ball with more energy than the rest of us and especially Don and I! A great kid, thoughtful and caring.

Kelsey is 15 in grade 10, also an honor student with A's & B's. Laid back and easy going. A real big help to me. She is the major helper around here.

Both these girls are a total joy in our lives and it's been fun getting a second kick at the cat at raising up two more children, now that I know a little bit more!

What's so good about winter!!

It's not the snow. It's not -30c. brrrrr cold. Not the power going out when it's -30c and your water pump freezes up and your hot water pipes under the house freeze up. It's definately not the packing water twice a day to the mule and chickens. But I have to admit, it sure is pretty.
