Ice Storm on P.E.I..........

Here are a few pictures of our world as we see it right now. We are running on the generator. Hopefully it will keep going. The wind is supposed to pick up as the day goes by. Up to 90 clicks tonight. The schools have been closed for two days now
There are lots of people without power. Between Kensington and Hunter River, there are about 70 poles down. The Western end of the Island has been hit the hardest.
I will add some more pictures when I can. Maritime Electric said this afternoon, that it could be Friday before power is restored.This is the weeping willow in front of the house.And this is what the clayroad looks like.This next one shows how much ice is actually on the trees. It is scary to walk in the woods now. The temperature is coming up a bit and the ice is starting to fall of somewhat.
This is the pine tree by the house. It does look pretty like that.
Anyway, more about the storm later.

How time flies..............

Just a year ago today, we were traveling in the Dominican Republic. On that Monday we had a day of work and drove to Jarabacoa, to visit with Leona. We were stuck behind this truck loaded with bags and Haitian workers.
.You wonder that they don't fall off
The next picture was taken in Jarabacoa. The things you see on the road. That would never happen here on good old PEI. The culture is soo diferent from here.

It was amazing to see how Leona has been absorbed by the people that she works with. She feels so at home with them. It was amazing. The kids just love her. All in all, it was an amazing experience that I will never forget.......

Happy New Year.........

Sorry to all of you faithfull readers that it took so long to get this blog posting done. Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Years. It certainly was a full house here. The first time that we were together with all thirteen of us. We took a few pictures too! What a happy bunch. Let me introduce you. From left to right starting with the back row: Dianna & Jordan, Aaron & Rebecca, Pete, Amanda & Matt, Isaac & Mary. Then in the front row: Beppe holding Micaiah, Damaris, and Pake holding Caleb.



A nice picture of the siblings. It was last summer at Upper Clements, that they were all together the last time.
And, "The Guys". As the girls get older, we seem to get more guys in the picture.
All in all, we had a great time together. There was even enough snow for a bit of snow mobiling. And a lot of games were played as well.
And now it is back to work for all of us. May God Bless all of you in the coming year.
