January 12 & 13, 2019<\/p>\n

With temperatures between -10 and -15 most days, I really missed Mark’s kindling supply. However, I was too scared to use the ax and hatchet to create my own pile. This was a skill I had never needed to learn in the past. I asked at both schools if there was somewhere I could go to purchase kindling, but nobody had any suggestions. When I arrived back at home base on Friday after school, I noticed 2 cardboard boxes by the carport door. A Burns Lake fairy godmother\/godfather had left me a much appreciated gift of potential heat!\"IMG_8121\"<\/p>\n

I was exuberant making the first fire of 2019 in the woodstove that night! I felt quite successful and independent when the fire caught and warmed up the house:-) I asked many people if they were the secret santa, but I did not discover the answer for nearly a week. It was a gift from our friendly retired teacher and TTOC Paula, who is also the talented force behind the Burns Lake pottery at the Artisan center.\u00a0 Thank you Paula! You are an angel in my eyes!<\/p>\n

On Saturday I had my first Cross Country ski lesson at Omineca ski club. Doug was my instructor and was so patient and encouraging!<\/p>\n
