Christmas Concerts and Home Sweet Home

Well, I am back in the land of hydrated skin. I flew in to Rupert on last nights flight...of course my luggage did not arrive with me!

The Christmas Holidays are over and I feel blue...maybe its low blood sugar and too much eating. Ontario was great fun. In true Niagara style it snowed 15 cm the night of my Grimsby performance and then turned to freezing rain. The 30 people who braved the winter storm to attend my show at the Smiling Dog are troopers!. A special thanks to Kate for opening up her shop for me.

Parts of Grimsby have really changed. The Burgess Market is gone and there are houses being built in the 'pick-your-own-strawberry' fields along the main street of town. But Grimsby still has its smalltown flavour and the people are just as friendly as I remember.

Before I left for the holidays I had a jampacked weekend. The CBC All Point West show from Prince Rupert was entertaining. Jo Anne Roberts is a great host and knows how to make you feel at home. It was good to see Kirsty Hudson again and to put a face to James Evans name. The Christmas Carol reading the following evening was a nice way to start out the holiday season. I have to say that I will never be able to listen to James in the morning again, without hearing Bob Cratchit's wife's voice!:)

Well I am off to get organized for the upcoming year and the Jenny's Concert. Wishing you all a Happy New Year!
