Great to be back home in AB. We realized over the holidays that we have become "westerners" and do enjoy our simple life out here. The time in Ontario was great! Seeing family and many friends was just what we needed.
Since our return, the heavens have opened and blessed us with snow. Much snow!! More snow than the area has seen this early in many years. Needless to say our best friends now are the plow and snowblower. We have spent many days keeping roads and parking lots clear and removing snow from rooftops on many of the camp buildings.
Groups are now using the facilities again and we are quite busy, both mid week and weekends. The off-season is getting shorter every year as a variety of guests from students to crafters are frequenting the camp more and more. There are also many projects to keep us busy over and above the general maintenance. Installing kitchen cupboards in two of our rental buildings, and building a new walk-in freezer in the dining hall as well as broken equipment to repair. The other maintenance man is good at mechanical stuff which is a godsend for us.
The large amount of snow has turned our world into a winter wonderland. We love the sound of the crunch of snow. We are expecting some milder temperatures next week but believe we will still be seeing lots of white.
