So Here we go again. Its 2020! Almost the end actually.  What an absolute shit show this year has been.  It started out amazing...Trip to StLucia with Kris and Jax, Rob and Amber and the Guders! Amazing everything about that trip.  But in the background was the world news of COVID19! There was one confirmed case in Canada at that point,  The virus has started off in Wuhan China, And was thought to be a species crossover virus from eating bats or something (no one knows really still)

But by the time we got back from St Lucia the second confirmed case was here.  

Declan was playing AAA Hockey for the Huskies and our team just couldn't score to save their lives.  But Declan was stuck playing Defense and was really unhappy about it. I only just realized how unappy he was in October when he asked to play for Coach Jamie and the AA's so he could play forward.  

So...the end of March, April, May and into June the COVID19 numbers were growing Daily, and we were starting to learn some things about the virus.  Grocery stores and big box stores were open,  Ferrell has stayed open since day 1 of the mess and people visit just to get out of their houses.  Most of the province was in lockdown except for essential workers.  Ferrell somehow fell into that category.  Eventually numbers dwindled and we got to have something of a summer. We didn't really take advantage of the trailer and just used the pool.  It was scorching hot at the end of June and that was kinda nice.

In July we got to use Wes's cottage.  It was fun as hell.  Us and the Kennedys were fishing and enjoying the lake and the cottage.  I really do love it up there.  We decided to spend some money in the backyard.  So we drew up a plan that incorporated a new 16x9 storage shed to keep the backyard tidy.  We had Reg Slotuik and PPM do the work to put in a drainage system to get rid of all the water.  They did 1000sqft of pavers and also put in new sod in the front and back yard.  It looks great!!!!! About the same time we had our first hot tub delivered...what a treat thats been.  Addison is in it the most, but I'm a close second with my late-nite tubs!

So The second term of the hockey training started,  Declan was happily with Jamie and then......wave fucking two of COVID19 kicks in.  Hamilton was put into Red status.  Rinks could only have 10 people in them so training has gotten expensive and hard to come by.  Until this week...the week before Christmas...Premier Ford has put us into Grey LOCKDOWN MODE!  Essential only work and play, no gatherings of more than one household.  LIFE SUCKS...the vaccine is starting to be shipped to Canada.  I dont feel good about it, but I might have to take it just to get some resemblence of normalcy.  2020 wasn't that bad. But 2021 better be an improvement!
