Sugar Shack

You know spring in near, when the sap starts flowing. It was the perfect day for the outing, the weather was great, and it wasn't too muddy, so the kids didn't get too messy.

We made our way out to La Ferme du Terroir for a great meal at the Sugar Shack, Maple Taffy on snow and a walk in the woods to check out the buckets of sap.

As far as the meal goes, it was a little expensive, but it was definitely the best meal that I've had at a sugar shack, and with all the people we didn't feel rushed or short changed in the service department. I would definitely go again next year.

How time flies...

March 3, 2008....it was one year ago, that I left my girls and started my 'cushy' government job. Can you believe how quickly time passes.

Jaida was a wee little baby, just 3 months old, probably around 10 pounds.

Looking back, I wish I'd negotiated a later start date, I know now how nice my manager was, and he would likely have said Yes, at least to the part time portion being longer, and I should have negotiated a better pay as well, for the same reason.

I still wish I didn't have to return to work, back then, (it is not often you get such flexibility, along with an offer for a permanent position.) and I couldn't imagine having the time to keep with the job applications being at home with all 3 girls!
