Other than missing Whistler ski days this weekend with Don/Don, Zizzy, Judith and I are doing very well as we approach my birthday on December 23rd, Christmas and the end of 2009! We're busy at headquarters with lots of new projects underway to increase the fun factor and new business to hopefully generate more resources to ensure we can have more ski days with family and friends and better serve our clients and community!
FMJ are coming tomorrow, Fin is showing up this weekend, Rob and Amanda will return on Tuesday from four weeks in Australia and Fiji, and we're expecting lots of ex-pat friends heading up to the island to be with family over the holidays that we look forward to visiting with. Consider this an invitation if you need one!
The holiday socializing is in full swing with the school concert tonight, Joe King and the Fire Hall tomorrow night for holiday celebrations and Parkers 25 year firefighter retirement celebration, community caroling Friday night, Holiday market at the hall on Saturday after a treasure hunt community bike ride, a party at our house and party at the Cox's next week and at least five new years parties etc etc etc! We always smile when people ask us what we do all winter! It seems like a lot of socializing, mixed in with all that nature and healthy living...........
Judith is dead set on not working this weekend (if you didn't know, she works sixty hours a week to keep this place going) to attend the farmers market, chop down a ditch tree to decorate, and ensure the old school holiday lights (boxes and boxes) Amanda's mom Val gave us she was throwing out are going up this year! All this and I am sure she will send out a few cheques/invoices and answer a couple of hundred e-mails, while entertaining our family and friends. Did I mention I am married to an Award Winning Trophy Wife? I know you already all know that Judith is perfect....
As most of you know, I'm living with Ankylosing Sondylitis and will be unfortunately until we find a cure. The good news is I have found some medicine that has allowed me to get out and about resulted in more energy to look after myself. Thank you everyone for keeping things moving and all the heavy lifting in 2009, don't forget the flashings!
We're hoping for snow, did I mention snow, I mean we're really wishing for snow. The famous "Hughes Road" sledding hill and hot cocoa stop is just not the same without snow. So if you're wondering what to send this year! Yup, that's right send snow, well....or hard cash to help buy a snow making machine we're hoping to pick up for a song post Olympics!
So that is about it, we miss you, we're happy, healthy, and having fun as always. All the best to you and your family and here is to an even better 2010 full of fun, happiness, snow/ski/beach/hammock/cycling/hiking/swimming days with friends and family, and loads of sunshine and good fortune!
Happy holidays,
PeJu & Zizzy
PS, don't forget to visit us in the winter, we have a couple hundred empty houses you're welcome to stay in, the hot tub is on line, and lots of great fun, food and laughs to share!

I thought, for a minute, that was Frank in the picture with you, but then I realized that is not his hat. If you could actually guarentee snow for Christmas, we may consider going there. Until then, I guess it will be summer visits. Say hi to Rob and Amanda for us and anyone else we know there. Alex says hi to Renaud. Have fun sledding. There will be plenty of that going on around here as it is now 0. T shirt and shorts weather!
