Hope everyone had a chance to enjoy the weather and participate in fun activities with family.
There may be a few of us Albertan's that were less than enthusiastic when the Family Day holiday was announced in 1990 and the realization that perhaps some would no longer be given the opportunity to enjoy the August long weekend as a statutory holiday. Well, time has helped with the discontent and it can't be that bad as Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and PEI have embraced the idea of having a Family Day as well.
There are a few different ways to enjoy the holiday - inside and outside, and many ways to remember the great memories that come from spending time with family. As we look back at previous reunions and family celebrations what word comes to mind?
We are looking for one word, not a sentence or a paragraph, just one word that describes what family means to you, what memories have been shared and the story that accompanies that specific word.
Please post the word that comes to mind, or email it to scresort@telusplanet.net. The excitement will be what comes of the word(s) posted and shared, what is important to each of us.
We ask that you pass on the link to this blog to family that may not be aware of it as we don't have all the emails to reach everyone. If at any time there are questions please feel free to post them here, or send them to scresort@telusplanet.net.
Happy February everyone!

Groundhog Day
Remember Bill Murray in the 1993 movie Groundhog Day. Well, this past week may have resembled it but not quite as long as the 1766 weeks that were portrayed in the movie.
There were several groundhogs in Canada that provided some insight into how long our winter will last. future.. Balzac Billie had a thumbs done on Feb 2 with the predication of 6 more weeks of winter. Now that we have this valuable information it may be a good time to peruse photos while sitting by a cozy fire.
We would appreciate if you could take a look through your photos of family. We are interested in all photos whether they photos passed down or photos of previous reunions - a picture is worth a thousand words however, a narrative of the photo and the event would be greatly appreciated. If you have several photos please share and we will make them accessible for everyone to enjoy.
As always, we don't have everyones email so please forward the emails and links.
Please send photos to scresort@telusplanet.net at your convenience.
