About Me
- Name: grannyfiddler
- Location: waynorth, Alberta, Canada
Money isn't everything, but it IS SOMETHING. Self-sufficient livng in the bush yielded marginal success. Tried to make it on creative brilliance, but not much lit up. Learned some skills-house painter, rough (read "uses chainsaw")carpenter, etc. Took a 2 year business course at the local college-finance and accounting. And found myself. Numbers are reliable. They always give the same answer-never change their minds, wear out, break, leave or go out of style. If something doesn't add up there's an answer if you patiently look. There is order in the universe! No longer an itinerant fiddler/artist, I'm an accountant with a creative side. Started in a city, moved to a bush cabin, the Yukon, apartment in the city, farm, and back to the city. Through it all yearning for a big yard with trees for the kids to climb, garden, and studio. Bought a run-down, old frame church in a small town, complete with maple trees and raised the last 2 of 4 kids there. The realtor who sold it to me felt guilty selling it to a single mom;he helped renovate. Still one of my best friends. Of course,never finished it while the kids were here - it's nearly complete.

Congratulations! That's good news for a Friday!
Excellent. I always enjoy hearing good news.
well done with your exam! I was just reading how you are fed up with the cold, me too! I think you are colder than here, last night there was -4 centigrade in the greenhouse, I dont know how cold it was outside. today is a nice sunny/cold day, after a horrible week of wet/cold/windy. I remember years ago sliding about on a frozen pond and one year even the big emergency water reservoir being covered with ice. but the weather must be changing because it hasn,t frozen over for a long time and even then we had to be reallly carefull as the ice gave way in plces, the pond was ony a couple of feet deep but we werent allowed on the lake at all(well .. not when anybody wa looking!!), too dangerous.
Congrats! Way to go!! ec
