Christmas Break

I apologize for not posting this week.  As it's close to Christmas, things have been rather hectic.

I'm going to be away from the blog for at least another week.  I can't wait until I start snowshoeing in the New Year, as I really love posting about that!

To all my blog followers out there, thanks for following me!  I really enjoy posting on my blog.  Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Introducing Squirrel Girl (Gal)

I received a very special Christmas gift made by my friend Peter.  He drew up this neat logo for me.  I earned the title Squirrel on Tour De Jasper this Summer.  I'm going to wear this on a shirt when I help out next Summer.  The squirrel is even riding a Rocky Mountain bike.  Thanks Peter for an awesome Christmas gift.  I will have to make it part of my blog.

The Lost Art Of Letter Writing - Prince George Correspondents' Club

On Monday, I rode my bicycle over to Book's and Company for their first Correspondent's Club event.  As I love writing postcards, I thought that I should attend it and meet other letter writers.

Ride to Fort George Park

Today is the perfect day for a ride with Baxter.  Despite my hesitation about getting him dirty, I took him for a ride. It is just below 0 C, so it's not too slushy.   I first took him grocery shopping, and then as I returned home, I really wanted to enjoy more time with him outside, so I took him to Fort George Park.

Journeys

Jo Selkirk signs her book

Yesterday I went to a friend's Book signing.  Her name is Jo Selkirk, and she's turning 100 in less then 10 days!  When she was in her 60's, she had the opportunity to travel to countries such as Afganistan, Holland, and Iraq.

Festival of Trees 2011

 This past week I volunteered at the Festival of Trees.  It ran from November 18th until November 27th.

First Weekend-

Even though it was particularly hard to leave the house on Saturday morning because of the cold weather outside, I had to go out to vote and then to volunteer.
