Survived the Great

Greetings, - :

Hello, ; -
* Merry Christmas to all our friends and
family - especially Mom and Aunty Linda! .
We’re bracing ourselves for a wicked

_ winter of white stuff out here on Prince
Edward Island - although, we’re. counting °

ourselves:lucky that as of the beginning of

hear me singing “na nana na na”? For those

who may not yet know, we have a new addi- ”

Latte Crisis of 2006

e

Season’s.

It’s nearly two years since we left Ter-
race, the Standard newsroom and our
friends. And you'll: be relieved to hear we
survived the Great Latte Crisis of November

2006. It all started a few weeks ago, when.

“a succession of heavy, seasonal. rainstorms

pelted the region. The wind was particularly
fierce, knocking down trees and power lines,

plunging our draughty old apartment build--

ing into darkness.

Greetings from way out east

]

_ Our time in northern B.C. served us well. .

‘Out came the -rotary dial phone, candles,

lanterns and flashlights.. Then came a his-

‘tory-making boil water advisory. We told
anyone who'd listen half of aboriginal and. _
_ rural B.C. deals with this regularly. But the

mobs just rushed past us, cleaning out stores

of bottled water. BR
Terrace-style. weather. arrived next, with

44 cm of snow blanketing the beaches of

” White Rock, followed by temperatures cold

tion to our family.. McKenzie’s baby ‘sister,
Emily Louise, was born on. November Ist
and we are.all doing very well. I hope this
little.note finds everyone happy and healthy.
Have a great winter and Christmas with one
another. We will see you for Christmas in

" December we vhave hardly dipped below ” Lo
zero.and have seen very little snow. Can you

a co Love always,
“Leslie (nee McQuade), Brian, McKen-

enough the locals bundled up the palm trees.

- One thing’s sure — if real disaster does strike

the north will be fine, while.the Big Smoke
will devolve into a Mad Max-style war zone.
Until then, we are enjoying what the Lower
Mainland has to offer, amid the undimin-
ished agony of the traffic congestion.: We’ ve

traded the always interesting news of the.

north for different issues, newsrooms and .
co-workers down here.
But we’re often reminded of what we.:

Miss up.in Terrace — good friends, a tight- _
knit community and a sense of wilderness on |

the doorstep. “

And Kermode bears? It’s as if anarmy of -

them followed us down here, donned garish
colours and now stand guard.on street cor- |

ners to constantly remind us of our northern .
roots, 97
A Merry Christmas to all our friends —

in Terrace and across the province,
