    Websister, had to laugh re: your "say hi to Marilyn" comment!  Hope your Christmas prep is coming along and that you are looking forward to spending some time with your grandchildren.

    Edi, I just love your descriptions of life with your DH!  Some of the stories remind me of my DH, and I can understand your frustration.  Hope that things will improve for the Shedman so that he can enjoy Christmas.

    Well, having one of those high anxiety days - guess it's a combo of fear of recurrence and having the holidays upon us.  I'm officially off work now, even though I'm still catching up on a few work things at home.  In any case, we'll be on a plane to Halifax in the AM.  Looking forward to some quality time with my brother and family and my Mum.

    Hope everybody has a wonderful weekend!

    Hi everybody,

    We are so very busy, but just want to let you know that we are fine, and having a grand old time. Internet access is a problem, so I can't check in regularly. We will be home next Sunday. A merry Christmas to you all! Tomorrow we are driving down the south coast again to spend Xmas with DH's family.

    Love to you all!

    hang in there jackpot....I'm sure no one in your family cares if you have "forgotten" something. Just put a big red bow on your head and a smile on your face. You're the biggest present you can give your family.

    Caitlin...golly, hope you're safe and sound in Nova Scotia...sounds like the ice storm is headed your way. Horrible in Toronto and parts of Quebec tonight!

    Thinking of you all....hope everyone is doing well.

    Traii, My stepmother is leaving the 29th to visit your neck of the woods. I'm so jealous want to go there so bad.

    I hope everyone of you have a very Merry Christmas filled with love and family

    traii....WONDERFUL photos...thanks for sharing them! Have a great Christmas with family and friends! 

    maria....so good to hear from you! Tired goes hand in hand with rads and the realization that the "active" fight is now over. Takes time for the emotions and the body to both reach a place of healing and confidence in the future. You'll get there, respect what you've been through, and realize "this too shall pass". Take good care of yourself nutritionally, emotionally and spiritually. For others, things are done and back to normal....for you....not quite yet.

    Merry Christmas to everyone....hope it is one full of peace, happiness and hope. 2014 is going to be SPECTACULAR FOR US ALL!!!!!!

    We arrived in Halifax on Saturday evening, a little late, but at least we got in.  Have been having a great time since.  Weather is not too bad here, but Sis-in-law's parents are without power in NB.

    Wishing you all and your families a very Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year!!

    The warm weather enjoyed this week is coming to an end as Environment Canada has issued a flash freeze warning for Calgary.

    A rapidly moving cold front is forecasted across Southern Alberta this evening and overnight. Frigid temperatures reaching a low of -18C with a wind chill of -30, strong winds gusting to 70 km/h and five centimetres of snow are expected.

    Environment Canada warns that visibility will be, at times, near zero, especially in open areas and on major highways. The winds are expected to ease after midnight but the cold temperatures will remain throughout the weekend.

    .............................

    Sounds like fun, eh!!!!! Isn't "FLASH FREEZING" something they do to veggies....NOT people!!!!!  I am making soup and digging out the mittens and touque again!!!

    Well about 6 hours ago it was +8 degrees C, but now about -16!

    DH just got home safely from work. He said cars were crawling along the highway, with their 4-way lights flashing, and visibility was almost nil with blowing snow.  Wind is up to 70 kph, gusting up to 90kph. So glad I'm not working tomorrow!

    Thanks for the warm welcome Nihahi, Edi and Movie! Came home to a cold house on Van island just a while ago, tired but happy to be here. Traveled far and wide, long distances by car through South Africa and Namibia. Canadian friends blown away by the beauty and totally different culture down there. Visited with many friends and all our family, the wedding was a blast - DH and I danced the night away, and got home at four in the morning. Groom and bride enjoyed the wedding more than anybody else, so much so that he forgot to take some clothes for the next day. Arrived at his new in-laws the morning after still in his wedding suit - LOL.  

    Edi, did not go into London. Cousin picked us up from Heathrow, took us home, and we visited with his family till it was time to go back to the airport. Have not seen him in 15 years - so good to see them.
