What a Difference a Year Makes!

26 Comments

I was recently thinking about where I was this time last year, both literally and figuratively.

November 7, 2022, Northwest Territories. A relatively small snowfall covering my truck.
November 28, 2022, Northwest Territories. The eaves of my house over the living room windows.

2023

I didn’t have a November 7 picture from this year, so here is November 9, 2023, Penticton, British Columbia.
November 28, 2023, Dominicana. Sand, but no snow!

I loved working in the Northwest Territories, but I am happy to be where I am now – a lot warmer, whether that’s Dominicana or Penticton.

    1. I worked in the Northwest Territories for six years while maintaining a home in British Columbia. I retired at the end of October and then went to the Caribbean for a month. I’m back home in BC now, so yes, a permanent move. Yay! 🙂

  3. Congratulations Lynette. The aim of a career is always to survive and get out alive. You managed to do that. Enjoy what you’ve worked for, doo all the things you seldom had time for, including sittin’ around doin’ nuthin’. Happy retirement and Happy Saturday. Allan

    1. Thank you very much, Allan. When I think about last November, retirement still seemed so far away and I was tired of working; it was definitely time for me to go. So yes, survive and get out alive! I got there! The idea that we can get up and do what we want is still such a novelty, though I hope I always maintain a bit of that excitement. Thanks for your support, Allan. Cheers.

        1. I’ve had frostbite in my feet a few times. Agreed – so painful when they’re warming up and then they’re forever hypersensitive to the cold (or even the cool). I bet you don’t miss those years at all!
