When I came north my intent was to pursue three activities in my personal time: books, sewing and x-c skiing. All activities I rarely have enough time to do so in the south, or perhaps in all honesty allow my self the time to do so,

Interesting how it has worked out:

• Of the 8 books I have read three including Farley Mowat’s No Man's River
• Skiing, at least once every weekend in minus 30oC weather and wind…yesterday the wind was behind me on the way out so good fun but wicked coming back.
• Sewing has been the most interesting, not finding a women’s sewing group but starting our own with some of the new skills (beading, embroidery, appliqué) picked up in the creation of a wall hanging and the stories and new friendships shared.
Oh yes the occasional succumbing to a new purchase as these delicate earring which will be made into necklaces once I get back south...
