All the Best in 2015 !

For us, 2014 has been an ‘up-and-down’ year.
We welcomed our new family, Chris, Yannis, with Amélie, our grand-niece, now a busy 19 months old. It took place in late February, just after a furnace failure (fixed!) and just before the latest of our 24-hour blizzards.

Neither Mama or la niña had ever seen snow, so it was a treat to watch their reactions!
In June, my wife got to visit Cape Cod for the 50th Reunion of her Band (not a band like the ‘Eagles’ or ‘Rolling Stones,’ but her Class at the Sisters of Charity - Halifax).
In late July, she had emergency surgery, while I developed a flare-up of vertigo.
Since then, it has been a matter of ‘getting better.’
