Packing time

     In less than a week, we'll be in Cuba, so there's so much to do! Another family is going to live in our house while we're gone, which means we had to box up a lot of our stuff and put it away. For me, that means empty shelves, almost empty bookshelves, clean desk, clean floor, empty drawers... almost everything needs to be moved. A suitcase is sitting on my floor at this moment, ready to be filled with clothing (just need the laundry to be ready) for a winter trip to our cottage (COLDCOLDCOLD) with some friends. I've recently begun to pack some bags for the big trip, including a toiletries bag and an activities-for-the-car bag. I'm allowed to bring three books on the trip. Which ones do I choose? (Maybe Anne of Green Gables, The Mysterious Benedict Society and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows?) We will also have a family iPad (to respond to emails and write blog posts) and a Kobo (more reading if the books are available) for the road. I hope it will be enough for being gone for several months!

    Excellent book choices Lucy! Do you access your library with your kobo? If you're anywhere with wifi, stock up! Lol.

Saying Goodbye to Winter

Wishing for warmer temperature (and more sunshine) is common this time of year. I really enjoy winter, but usually by March I have joined the 'complainers,' wishing away the cold dark days in favour of something else. I have only escaped winter three times in my life. When I was in elementary school my family drove south to Myrtle Beach for March Break. When I was a teenager my family spent a week in Disney World in November. Most recently, when our kids were younger (2012) we spent March Break at a house in the Bahamas with our good friends. This year marks the fourth time I have abandoned winter, but this time we are leaving it for good, not just for a week. On Thursday we are going to Cuba with some very dear friends of ours. It will be our first trip to a resort ever (maybe our only one ever!) and it marks the beginning of our adventures away from home this year. When we return from Cuba we will only have one day to pack and get organized before we leave on the big road ...

Almost time!

I can't wait in till the trip comes. It is creeping closer and closer and we are planing more and more as the days go on. We recently got a message saying that we are going to go on the fairy's that we wanted to. I don't know how I will feel so far away from home and for such a long time, but I know that it will be worth it to see all those things and experience moments that others might not. Their is so much ahead of me and it's all going through my head at once but once the trip starts it will hopefully lay out. All the places that we are going to and things that we will see are planed out now so we at least know where we are planing to go. For now we need to savor our moments with friends and keep packing and thinking of important items. This road trip is going to be the highlight for this year so it's best that we just sit back, and enjoy the ride.                             ...

Ten More Nights

Blogger:Miriam Today we have ten nights left until the trip ends. We are at Riding Mountain National Park where, I am glad to say, we saw three more animals. The first we wished not too see. I was sitting in the tent when I heard someone running as fast as they could. Then I realized it was Lucy and she was going quicker then normal. When she came to the tent and caught her breath again she said        “It’s a tick! It’s on my neck!” Mama saw it there and daddy went to go and get things to remove it. After we got it out we all checked our body’s for ticks to make sure nobody else had any. That was yesterday. Today we were driving and we saw a black bear on the side of the road. We slowly drove by it but rolled down to windows first to take a picture of it. Mama and Daddy had already seen a bear on the trip but this was me and Lucy’s first time. Then we went to a bison enclosure where we saw so many bison. They sat there at the edge of the road wa...
