Hi Kids, Nice to be back at Marsh Lake although our weather isn't quite as warm as you guys have it down east. I'm anxiously waiting for a couple of frosts so the cranberries will be ripe for picking. I've got my patches already scoped out. I'm soooo excited that on Sept. 14th I will be driving around Barbara Reid and her hubby for all of her sessions at various schools, one of them being at CKES and another, Haines Junction. For those of you who do not know who she is google her so you can be impressed that she is coming to the Yukon. Nicole will know for sure. I want to see what you find out about her from your research. Thanks for your continued blogs, I do enjoy reading them and looking at the pictures. We had a good visit with Donna and her girls. Suzanne's hubby, Troy, seems like a good guy. It was fun connecting with Monique and her babe Gabrielle. She is not very excited to be moving back to Tasmania, but Scott has a job there and he is her husband. Monique is hoping it won't be a perminent move, but I know Scott wasn't happy in Canada. We also had a good visit with my Uncle Johnnie and Aunt Elsie in Ft. St. John. I found out that I have a new first cousin that everyone met for the first time at our family reunion. Grandma's oldest brother, my Uncle George, had some fun with a married lady way back when on one of his leaves during World War 2. (They were neighbors down the way.) She named her baby Georgina (get it?) Of course it was kept hush hush in those days, but I guess Uncle George told Uncle Pete before he died in the war, so Pete knew about Georgina all these years. Pete finally told other people and since Uncle George's wife and other people close to the situation who would have been hurt, have all passed away, Georgina and her family were invited to the reunion. They live on a FN reservation, Georgina being meti and married to a first nations man. Their 9 kids are definitely FN, a very nice looking family. Georgina's kids would be related to you the same as the Spicer girls. By the way, Georgina just found out who her dad was the same weekend, so you can imagine the shock she felt. So there's a bit of family news for you. Keep blogging, Love mom
