Winter Amusements

I read something in a book by Bill Bryson today, "...which [is] worse, to lead a life so boring that you are easily enchanted or a life so full of stimulus that you are easily bored." (The Lost Continent Pg. 59)

We went to the Christmas fair on Denman the other day with Doug and Rachelle, not only was the fair good, but there was excited in both directions. On the way there a woman in a mini hit a parked car on the big hill. She could either avoid the sand truck or the car. The four of us helped push her back onto the road, but she didn't make it off Denman because of car damage.

The Denman fair is much bigger than ours and it's nice to see different items for sale than the same old on Hornby. We all bought some really nice things. I managed to score gifts for hard to buy for people! I also ran into some friends that I haven't seen in awhile. It was great, I hope to go next year.

The snow was magical, although it did cause some more excitement coming home. I'd been told by a friend from Denman to go the back way and we did, but had some trouble getting up one of the hills. It was a little scary, but Doug is a great driver and we made it home fine. Missed the ferry by about ten mins though.
