Aston-Jonction : Family time and Logging

Happy Holidays!

I'm now in Aston-Jonction, at R.'s house. Today it was a nice sunny day, though a little chilly for my newly acquired Vancouverite thermometer. My mom, brother, R. and I decided to go logging in R.'s woods by ski-doo. The wind was cold, but the scenery was beautiful. Once in the forest, I watched as R. cut down his own trees, from his very own forest, to heat his house next winter. Warmth, we usually take it for granted. I felt very lucky to be able to participate in getting the wood that will keep my family warm next year.

Speaking of family, I got to meet my niece a couple days ago! She's 14 months old now, and walking and blabbing all the time! She loves animals, and knows how to make the sound of many of them. It was great to have a little one around the house.

I am glad that I decided to stop in Quebec before going off to Asia. I hadn't been back since August 2009. There's a special attachment between a person and their childhood city.
