March 2020

March has arrived and are we looking forward to an early spring.
March 4th marked the passing of Murray, it’s hard to believe it’s been a year since GGPa passed away…… we miss him.
Actually we were happy to stay in the winter mode until after our annual family ski vacation. This year we were back to Sun Peaks and staying at the Sun Peaks Grand Hotel. This seems to work so great for everyone. It’s a perfect location in the village close to everything. Plus they have the outdoor swimming pool and 3 hot tubs and they allow dogs, so Nova and Rover can come along. We also organized the kids “Treasure Hunt”, it’s always a lot of fun watching them work through their challenges to get the clues to solve the location and find the treasure. For Brenda and I it gets more challenging every year, the kids are getting older and smarter. Somehow we forgot to get a picture of Sage…… that was not smart.

This year it was really cold up at the hill but we still managed a family picture at some point…… Brrrrrrrrr!

Immediately after Sun Peaks the Corona Virus really started to take hold in Canada. We were so lucky to get our annual ski vacation in as the day after we left they shut the resort down for the year. Then once we were home we heard there was a recorded case of the virus reported by a Doctor up at the health centre.
Since that time we have been self isolating and social distancing; two terms that we never heard of before this pandemic.
So March has been all about staying isolated and staying healthy.
