Hello there folks. I am typing this message from my new laptop. With Candice in TO we have been talking online and my computer, which was Candice's desktop from school is downstairs in the sewing room. I came up one day to get a nice hot cup of tea because my hands were getting chilli down there and the next thing you know, Garry is buying me a laptop so I dont have to be downstairs in the cold anymore. Can we say spoiled!!!!!!!!!!! \I am sure I did something to deserve it.

DO NOT OPEN THE TWO COMMENTS BELOW
They are spam mail and I am really upset by them.

More pictures of Candice's fundraiser.

This is Candice's fund raiser that me, mom and Nicole went to. I donated a quilt I made for their auction. It went for $215.00. WTF. I figured 50.00 bucks, no, people were there to spend their money and they did. There was this pottery bowl. You know the kind you pick up in a yard sale for a quarter and give to someone as a birthday present. It went of $95.00. I was nice to see though that the stuff that was donated by people didnt just go for 5 or 10 bucks. It some of the stuff looked it alot of work was put into it.
Candice is offically in Toronto. Starts here internship on Tuesday and hopefully by the end of all this she would have made enough contact to get her a job. Of course she could live home forever if she wants.

HERE IS WISHING EVERYONE I MISSED THIS YEAR SO FAR A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY. AND I KNOW I MISSED ALOT OF YOU.

Here is also all the Happy Valentine's Day, Happy St. Patricks Day, Happy Easter, and all the Happy Anniversary's for the year.

This September will be 20 for Garry and I and all I want is for him to take me to Niagra Falls.
I have told him enough times so it's not like he doesn't know what I want.

Hey! it's me again. Not much to report. I suppose everyone got hit mega with all the snow this winter. I have never seen it sooooo bad. Last weekend the plow got stuck on our street and had to push all the snow in peoples drive ways so he could get to the end of the road and start pushing the snow to the end of the road. Yeah. this was after Garry, Matt, Al, me , Nicole, and Val did about nine driveways. Garry and Matt used the snowblower and the rest of us shoveled out the cars to get them out of the driveways so Garry and Matt could finish with the snowblower. Lucky for us the drive ways the plow filled were not the ones we did. There is about 5 guys on our street with snowblowers who will help out their neighbour. There are two that do not. But that's ok, because they don't get invited to the town meetings on Fridays.
We all get together and play some cards about every other Friday. It has made the winter a little more bearable. In the summer everyone just sits out in the garage and drinks beer. Of course this year, I will be spending all my evenings in the Pool.
I hope everyone else is bearing the winter as well as we are.
Mom will be home Easter Sunday. Who needs chocolate, I get my mommy back.

Well it sounds like Team Crocket is well on its way to reaching it's goal. I will pledge $50.00. Let me know who needs on your team needs it the most. If one of you is falling behind on your pledges let me know and that's where I will put it. Of course if you are competing against each other, the first one to answer me gets it.
Have fund and Good Luck.

Well, it was almost divorce time when I showed up with six, yes six bags of material. We had this sale where all discontinued material was $1.00 a meter. I could not pass up a bargain like that. It would not have been so bad, if I didn't already have 10 totes of material already. But this stuff was nice and I couldn't say no. Garry was not impressed. But I promised him no more, and so the next day I came home with two more and didn't tell him.
I am in the process of finishing off 4 quilts for our craft sale at work for our relay for life team. I also promised one to Candice for her school fundraiser. I have everything cut our and I already have two of them sewed, I just need to cut the seams and wash them.
Not much going on here, just lots of snow like everybody else. Looking forward to Mom coming home so she can help me with all my projects.
This years realy theme is lets put cancer to bed. We have this canopy that we are going to make up like a canopy bed. We are going to put two queen size air mattresses down to make the bed, and that way we can all wear our PJ's to go with our theme. It's not until the end of June so there is alot of time and we already have our theme and costumes so the only thing left is to get pledges. We are having a craft sale at work with everyone on the team donating something to sell and then Wal-mart will match whatever we raised and I am planning a yard sale with the money being used for my pledges. Hopefully, everything goes according to plan.

Blog?Blog? Wait I remember Blogging!

Some of you proberly thought I forgot how to blog. No it's just been a very busy time for me.
I lost a friend, and the husband of a friend, and found out a co-worker has just finished another round of Chimo and still no good news. So I have been kind of in a funk.
We finished up all the fundraising for Grand Opening which happened in December. All the cheques have arrived and we have started delivering them. People love you when you give them money.
We raised and gave away $21,000.00. We made $3000.00 recycling our old metal fixtures and donated the money to the Boy Scouts for their Re-Forestation Project. We fiqured we raised the money by recycling, it should go back into recycling.

My car is beyond wonderful, great, fantastic, did I miss anything. Great on gas, rides beautifuly,
and has a heated drivers seat, which in this cold weather we have been getting, well, my behind is very happy.

Candice and I went to the Relay for Life breakfast last Saturday. We will be going into it hot and heavy at the end of Februay. Everyone at work is kind of charitied out right due to our Grand Opening so we are all taking a break from fundraising until then.

Candice is moving to TO at the end of March. She will be doing her internship with the Canadian Women Institute. They are like the United Way but for Women's issues. She will be staying with one of Garry's cousins while she is there, because she does not get paid for on internship. The lady who she is dealing with said that during her intership she will be dealing with alot of womens charities and organization and will help Candice get a job. Candice is also waiting to hear from a company call Manifest in TO. They already asked for her portfolio and want to set up an interview. This is who she would really like to work for. They are a PR firm who deal with social issues. They are the company responsible for the Canadian Tire Free Skate and the Tim Horton's free Swim Programs. Thing are going very good for her.

Garry has been digging us out of the snow and the neighbours as well since 6am and he is still at it taking a break now and then. we had 3 feet of snow in our driveway and the ice pellets from last night froze everything solid.

My dryer buzzer just went off. Oh well back to the housework.

WAS I A GOOD GIRL OR WHAT. I THINK SANTA FORGOT HIS SLEIGH, OR IS THAT A NEW CAR FOR BRENDA? OH I SO FREAKED OUT. It was parked in the neighbours garage and I kept saying look what Matthew bought Nicole for christmas. Until Garry walked me up to it and it had a little box on with that had the keys and it had MY NAME on it. SWEET.

I hope everyones Christmas is as Merry as mind obviously was.

We got in a day up North before all the snow came. It was a nice day as you see. I thought the scenery would make a nice painting. Hint, Hint, Jeremy. Something to think about

hey look i finally found a minute to blog. after 45 years, i seem to be lactos intollerance and that seems to be what has be causing all my pain and bloating. so now when i want dairy i just have to pop a pill and i am good to go. it has helped alot. but for some reason, i still have a liver infection. so now it would seem that my liver doesnt want to process fat, so now i have to cut back on fat as well as dairy. jennifer at work got me a fridge magnet that says , you cant handle the cheese. i have been putting in alot of overtime, it will come in handy for x-mas, but not much time for the computer. i will catch up with everyone later

Here is my spooky holloween house. The older kids are Val's and Al's twins with the kid from the end of the road and the little one is Kayla. I though mom would like to see them. The big kid on the steps belong to the devil. Pretty creepy looking at night wasn't it. And I had one of those creepy holloween cd's playing. All that was missing was a little fog. Maybe I should pick up a machine while they are on sale.

Jeremy at the train station, come back soon Jeremy.

Hope you love the end results, now we need everyone to judge our pumkins, of cource we can't judge our own, we all think our own is the best.

First we captured the pumkins from their natural habitat and then we gutted them and laughed in the face of contriversy. Ha Ha Ha Ha
