I can’t believe it has been almost 2 years since my last post. What happened? Between moving and COVID, I guess i keep getting distracted. Anyway I think it’s time to start again, but first let’s recap what’s has been happening.
- covid continues to RAGE
- Biden is the new President, but TRUMP refuses to admit defeat and claims election was stolen
- we are realizing how far we are from family and decide we need to move closer.
- Dec 31, 2020, Deborah finds a house in Airdrie and we go down, take a look and buy a new house
- We sell our St. Albert residence on the first day of listing ( but it’s doesn’t go that smoothly) we are nice to the new buyer and eventually the deal will get done, but not without some angst.
- we pack all of our stuff of 30 years in the same house , with no help from friends or family. BUT WE DID IT!!!
- Moving day to Airdrie and its minus 40C, but had great movers and not a thing was broken, except for an accident with a curio cabinet (got fixed as good new though).
- My Mum dies just 10 later ( one of our reasons to move was to be closer and able to take care of her and my brother.)
- I spend the next 10 months dealing with her estate and the guardianship of my disabled brother.
- FINALLY, the legal issues are settled and we can concentrate on settling in to our new home and living our new life.
That is a quick recap of “our” life, and still having to deal with all of the craziness going on around us. Election deniers in the US storm the capital on Jan 6, 2021. Canadian FREEDUMBERS storming and occupying OTTAWA for 3 weeks. Provincial Government poor response to the COVID crisis and wanting things to go back to “normal” while thousands continue to get sick and die. CRAZY!!
I have become a full TRUDEAU and LIBERAL supporter. I have torn up my UCP and CPC membership. ( I will have to do another blog about the mismanagement and corruption of political RIGHT later.)
Funny, but after almost 2 years of zero leadership in Alberta, the UCP has kicked out Kenny and brought in Danelle Smith. THE WORST POSSIBLE CHOICE.
We really need to stand up now against what she is going to purpose and really hurt ALBERTA.
Well that’s it for my update and we will back with more in the near future hopefully.
