My doings for the two weeks from Dec 7th to 15th

Over the last two weeks I worked on the following:
Ottawa Branch Ontario Genealogical Society advertising brochure for the Gene-O-Ram Conference to be held on March 27,28, 2009 in Ottawa.
I also worked on The Royal Yorker, the newsletter of the St. Lawrence Branch United Empire Loyalists’ Association of Canada.
By Sunday I had completed the Ottawa Branch News for the Ottawa Branch Ontario Genealogical Society. All of these have been sent to the printers.

I exercised on my elliptical training machine and did the basic session of Tae Bo a couple of times. I also walked every day and spent part of Tuesday and Thursday sorting books for the Friends of the Library and Archives Canada.

I took the little dog Hogan for walks. Hogan goes wild when you ask him if he wants to go for a walk. He really loves sniffing and marking. The snow keeps him away from the light poles and fire hydrants but there are lots of snow clumps to work on. Hogan is a long haired Chihuahua.

Sunday Dec 6th we received about 10 to 15 cm of snow. It was a bit windy in the afternoon as well. On Tuesday and Wednesday Dec 9th and 10th we received another 20 to 30 cm of snow. Wow! Got out the shovel and snow blower and made short work of it.

This inspired me to get the skis out into the garage along with the snow shoes. So maybe this week I will get out and ski or snow shoe. All we need now is for the Rideau Canal to freeze so we can skate.

As well I continue to scan my colour negatives from years past. I have scanned the years from 1975 to about 1995 over the past three years. I am working through another 60 page book which is about 1300 negatives. That leaves two books of about the same size to do.
Then I turn to slides and B/W negatives from the 60s. A long process but easy to do while watching TV or a movie!
