Storm Week

A good winter storm, both here and in Ontario I understand is all people have been talking about this week. I watched the news and talked to Brandon and Aunt Judy yesterday while Niagara was being snow and iced in. Today we have had snow, freezing rain, and wild winds and are waiting for the, approximately, 50mm of rain to start to fall any minute now (according to the TriCounty Weather Service!)

In the mean time we have had a good week. Our friend Jennifer King recommended a good chiropractor. While she uses very different methods than Zoe and I are accustomed to, she seems very good and, as an added bonus,  she is a lovely person. 

We got Zoe registered for school!! We moved here after the start of first semester in September, and after much discussion with the guidance counsellor Zoe decided to do a correspondence course and start Digby High School second semester. While she is anxious about the newness of it, she is hoping to meet more people and expand her social life. 

We also have found a veterinarian recommended again by Jennifer (what would do without you!!) So now we have a vet, an orthodontist, a chiropractor, and a pharmacist. We are on the registry list for a family doctor, and are contacting a dentist next week. Very slowing we are settling in to the community and making the contacts that are necessary.

As a final note...it has been fun (stressful at times) watching the cat and dog try to figure each other out and decide who is "the boss". This morning we got one step closer to friendship as Charlie the cat allowed Dixie the dog onto the island with him, then very calmly swatted Dixie across the face. We'll try again tomorrow.
