| Enjoying the sunshine |
After a lovely few weeks of balmy fall weather, Mother Nature made up for it. We usually get at least one snow storm in November and it was looking like we might escape this year, but alas, such was not the case.
A nor' easter moved in on Sunday afternoon bringing with it high winds and 15 to 20 cms of snow. This also brought about some major power outages. We were lucky to only be in the dark for approximately 5 hours but as of last night, some islanders won't have electricity until perhaps Wednesday morning.

| Monday morning |
Lloyd had a nap during the afternoon then hooked up an inverter to a battery and we were able to plug in a lamp. So with light on the kitchen table we were able to read and then eat supper. Supper was just ready when the lights came back on. We were very lucky.
The heavy wet snow we woke up to in the morning was causing all kinds of chaos for utility crews, especially in our end of the island. Looks like we may be receiving more snow tomorrow night, maybe another 10 cms, but that remains to be seen.
We had our big finale at Community School in Stratford last Tuesday. We all got up on stage and played some little bits of 4 songs that we learned and by all accounts we didn't sound too bad but we were all glad when it was over. Once all classes had a chance to show off their new talents, we were treated to a delicious lunch of assorted sandwiches, squares, fruit and veggies along with coffee and tea. This week will be our end of session night in Donagh. Fortunately this one doesn't involve getting up on the stage!
Patti made my day on Friday by sending me a copy of the last few items on Tristen's Christmas list. I loved that I made the list - # 10 = "Trip to PEI to see grandma".
And finally "Where in the world is Patti?"
This week she was back in Japan and visited the Pokeman Centre, at the request of Tristen - a whole store dedicated to all things Pokeman.
Obviously a much bigger thing that here in North America.
