I know, I was quiet lately. So many things going on!

-still have 2 great days full of photos from Newfoundland to post for you, including our visit to the Newfoundland Insectarium (www.nfinsectarium.com)
-I went to Charlottetown for a week for a library tech conference. Highlight of the conference was going to visit Uncle Joe and Aunt Patricia at their PEI place for a night
-went home to Ontario for 6 or so turkey meals and helped move Mom to her new condo townhouse
-made it through a few screenings for a new job but failed miserably on the written knowledge test, but that is okay, I don't think the job would have been within driving distance
-the chimney sweep finally came yesterday
-finally have heat!
-Jeff is melting now that it's 20C in here and not 15
-it's snowing today and it is really really windy
-something suspicious is occurring with the septic system - I heard some gurgles this morning when Jeff flushed the toilet and there is water seeping into the basement a bit around a ... well .. I don't know what it is .. it's like a drain on the floor but it is plugged and it has a square type of tightener on the top - septic clear out? no idea. Clog somewhere? It doesn't smell like sewage, the ground is waterlogged outside again
-Becky was here visiting for a week. We've been friends for 30 years now! wow!
-Becky and I drank and partied like we were 20 in Halifax last Friday night. Not sure I need to do that again, well for at least another 5 years
-Becky heard an owl outside. We downloaded owl sounds until we matched it to a great horned owl and the other day Jeff saw it at sunset!
