I am a mother of one tween and two teens and the wife of a man who I love. I am the follower of a Lord and Savior that is living, real and my everything. I love to spend time with friends, even though I don't do it very often, I love my job and I love going to my kids sports events. I golf with my husband, even though I don't do it well, he is always very patient with me. My life is good, not perfect, but good. I am happy.

Debbie the Polar Bear

I don't know if any of you know who Debbie, the Polar Bear is, but she is or shall I say was the last living polar bear at the Assiniboine zoo. She was put to sleep yesterday because she was very sick and really very old for a polar bear. 42 to be exact and she had many organs that were not working well any more so they did what they had to do. I saw her this summer and she didn't look very healthy. I really liked Debbie, I enjoyed going to the zoo and seeing her out there walking around or swimming in her pool. I'm going to miss her, she was a special polar bear or at least she had a special place in my heart. She reminded me of our time in Churchill and what a unique place that was. So, here's to you Debbie!!
