Sounds like a great plan you have for blogging. I was just starting to catchup when my computer went on the fritz: I couldn't control my cursor, screens were randomly switching and jumping around, the screen was randomly changing sizes. I spent about 10 hours over several days just to be able to access my blog and type a comment. I have an Apple Genius appointment and I'm hoping that they won't have to take my computer for several days! No advice, sorry! I am realizing that there is a lot of help online. Have a wonderful New Year. I hope to be able to visit all my blogging friends later today. I must face the grocery store! LOL Have a good one!<br />Fundy Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02132147630106183853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349947899983990762.post-11153570303730367612015-12-30T08:54:04.619-07:002015-12-30T08:54:04.619-07:00Hi Tess!

I'm trying to catch up on everything after some serious computer issues that have taken me several days to resolve. everything went to hell on Boxing Day! We had the best time in Breckenridge!

Second, I must respond to the post when Terry went to bed and you struggled to do a map with Lansdowne House placed for your readers to better understand your father's world. You and I are so alike!!! I had to smile. No advice to give :) Do you have any for me? :) Actually, I've made a new plan to spend no more than one hour writing my post each day and one hour writing comments. Hope I can stick to it. Squeaky snow brings back Quebec memories. Last night, as I was writing my post, I heard a loud bang and the wall behind me shook. My first thought was "earthquake" but I was so determined to stick to the plan, I decided someone in the neighbouring apartment must have fallen or banged into the wall. i looked outside, saw nothing, heard no more commotion and just went on blogging. It turns out my first thought was correct, but we are all fine, so not to worry. Hugs to you, dear friend. I'm hoping to stay in better touch! (This is a bouncing all over the place comment, but I know you will be fine with that.)Black Jack's Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18436115876996209227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349947899983990762.post-88177522957673016722015-12-28T19:57:06.015-07:002015-12-28T19:57:06.015-07:00Your description of the snow is beautiful!

It makes me think back to those days growing up in the northern Midwest of the U.S. I do miss watching the snow fall, but I just can't handle the cold any more.

And this time, for the first time ever, I got to FaceTime with my family up in Calgary. That was so much fun to actually see my family. Of course, they were all laughing at me, because I'm just learning to use my first iPhone, especially the NexGen. I hope you and your Rare One had a fun time!Fundy Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02132147630106183853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349947899983990762.post-5671779641748966962015-12-26T09:30:51.558-07:002015-12-26T09:30:51.558-07:00Love that photo of Santa up at Lansdowne House!

It's still one of my most favourite Christmas carols. If you get the chance, listen to Bruce Cockburn's recording of it -- he sings it in both English and in the Huron language.<br /><br />I hope you and Terry had a wonderful Christmas!
