Today, besides being Remembrance Day, is Mom and Dad's 61st Anniversary and Kathleen's birthday.  So a special day all around.

Here in the Cariboo we started with a wonderfully warm day so I loaded up the truck and went to the dump. Meanwhile Len was finishing off the last of the insulation in the house, way up top. He is also doing the vapour barrier at the same time so that the scaffold can come down once he is done. (Until drywall I guess).

Early today it was already warm

That's using your head, Len!

About 2 pm the sky turned dark and we heard the rumble of thunder.  The temperature dropped about 5 degrees and it began to snow!  Although it is sticking a bit, it isn't really cold outside.

The darkness coming from the West.  Sun still shining from the East.

Here comes the snow!

Yesterday the heating guys got us 95% toward having heat.  Unfortunately, there was some kind of problem with the boiler and they couldn't get it done before they left for the long weekend.  If the problem isn't too huge we should have heat next week.

Meanwhile, we are planning to put up more vapour barrier and do some clean up.  We might get out to play music with Pat this evening if his cold is better.

We are remembering all of you, our friends and family today, and so thankful for all your support.
