The adventures continue

My blog started by the name of New Adventures. I have sinced changed it, however the adventures never stop. We recently purchased a new 4 Wheeler. Today, we had to take it back to the shop for service so Ed loaded them up and I met him in Belleville before heading on to Napanee. Shortly out of Belleville the tire fell off of the trailer. OOPS! What to do. We pulled off to the side of the road with Transports whipping by throwing up water (it was raining you know). So Ed got out the jack, I went to the woods to retrieve the tire and we assessed the damage. Lost all lug nuts and a bolt. Placed a call into Mom and Dad. Dad went to Canadian Tire and purchased some parts and drove out to meet us. Luckily the lug nuts fit and we were able to carry on down the road to the next exit. We assessed the situation once off the highway and carried on to Napanee (via side roads). The trailer was left at the Honda dealership as well for repair. We all made it home safe and sound.

The Blizzard Results!

I thought my family in the West and the parents down south would like to see what hit us. Enjoy (or laugh!)

Mary Jean Elizabeth Varty

The loss of a parent is never an easy venture. It has been a difficult road for Ed and myself this past week as we mourn Marys loss and deal with the issues that accompany it. We have had many sleepless nights but somehow have managed to find the strength to carry on through the days. I lay awake at night worrying about Ed and making sure he is getting the rest he needs as the final resting days approach. I haven't quite figured out who this is harder on, however, he will not see my weak side in the wee hours of the morning. It is his comforte that is the most important thing to me right now.

We thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers in this difficult time
