Happy Family Day in Saskatchewan!

What a nice surprise I had on Friday. People in the office were talking about a long weekend and I wasn't sure what was happening. Easter was a long ways away. Then someone told me tomorrow is a new paid holiday in Saskatchewan. It is a February break for families and a way to break up the winter. Good thing someone told me or else I would have been in the office tomorrow wondering were everyone was.

After being away for most of 2007, it is nice to back at work. I am really enjoying the challenges of the new position. There are great people in my new office. I am so impressed by the HR department of the company. They are very friendly and welcoming to the new folks. I felt like part of the team immediately.

Our last physical ties to Nova Scotia are coming to an end. The house ownership at 40 Lakeview Ave was officially transferred on January 31st. I am sure the new folks will enjoy the neighbourhood a lot. We had the best neighbours; Nova Scotians are my kind of folks. I know my "A" misses her friends a lot. It is for that reason, we consider moving back when I get the all clear from my doctors in a couple of years. We will see. For now, I am enjoying just being here and on the "right side of the grass".

I am going to enjoy tomorrow and will hopefully my little guys/girls will spend time with us. Happy Family Day everyone.
