Snow, snow and more snow

Posted on December 4, 2007 by rubberduckyblog

Is it just me or does it feel like it has been snowing forever? Last night the forecast was a couple cm, this morning I heard 10-15 cm. What’s up with that!! Although after watching the news we are getting off lucky. Apparently yesterday every province except Manitoba had weather warnings. I’m sure that most of you have seen and heard about
Vancouver this weekend. Montreal was shut down yesterday.

So I guess I should just suck it up and get my exercise with my friend the shovel. It could always be worse.

Santa Parade

Posted on December 1, 2007 by rubberduckyblog

Rubber Ducky will be putting a float into the Santa parade in Stonewall this year. It will be on Friday December 7 this year. If anyone is interested in riding on the float, wearing our duck suit or has any easy brilliant ideas for the float please let me know. Or, just come on out and watch the parade. It starts at 7:00 pm and usually runs along Main Street from Subway to Home Hardware.

Good day for kids and snowmobilers

Posted on November 23, 2007 by rubberduckyblog

Well it is finally here – snow!! I am a bit indifferent on the subject. I like snow but it gets a little old and by January I am done with it.

Now my girlies on the other hand – I don’t think they ever tire of the snow. They were certainly happy to see white ground this morning.

Of course anyone with a snowmobile will be raring to go now. Just a little bit more….

Love it or hate it – this is Manitoba and all.

A duck walks into a drugstore and asks the clerk “Give me some chapstick, and put it on my bill!”

They did it!!

Posted on November 20, 2007 by rubberduckyblog

I think that the Winnipeg Free Press summed the game up well… Oh yes (they won) Oh no (they lost Kevin Glenn). It will most definately make for a more interesting game with the Bombers and Riders in the big game. It will be quite the party in Toronto when the fans get there.

It should be quite the party here at the duck as well – especially if the Bombers do well. I suspect a lot of loud, loud cheering will be going on. I will have to see what I can come up with for Blue and gold decorations to help set the theme.

Can the Bombers pull off another one?

Posted on November 15, 2007 by rubberduckyblog

Last weekend’s game was certainly a nailbiter. We had a few people come out to watch the game in the rec building and it was worth it. Talk about leaving it to the last minute. There is a poll on the Bombers website asking who will be in the Grey Cup. Winnipeg vs Saskatchewan currently has the most votes, with Winipeg vs BC in second. Of course most people taking the poll would be biased given that it is the ‘Bombers’ web site.  The statistics for the Bombers Vs Argos in the playoffs is not good. Since 1933 they have met 12 times, the Bombers only won 3 times (1988, 89, 90). But I guess all that means absolutely nothing if you are a true Bomber fan. On Sunday ya gotta just go with your heart. GO BOMBERS GO!!!

One more seasonal

Posted on November 8, 2007 by rubberduckyblog

We added one more family to our flock of seasonals this week. There was snow on the ground when they brought their camper in, but at least they are now all set up for next spring.

Speaking of snow, it is about that time of year. Hopefully everyone has now had a chance to get their campers and houses all ready for old man winter. We have been rather fortunate so far, but I think that is about to change. Last time I checked they were calling for snow and rain off and on all weekend. I think that we are all set here now. The pool has been put to sleep, the duck ‘chateau’ is all ready to go and Smoky (our stray cat that adopted us and our campers this summer) has moved inside. Now we wait. I must say that I personally am not fond of winter and snow, but from a business standpoint I kind of hope for snow to bring out the snowmobilers. I guess it is a fact of life in Manitoba any way.

Email newsletter day today

Posted on November 5, 2007 by rubberduckyblog

Got my Grey cup newsletter sent out today.  Hopefully everyone is having a boring Monday afternoon and are looking for something to read when it arrives in their inbox. It would be nice to see the Bombers in the game this year, but I guess we will just have to wait and see. We have talked to a few people that are already planning on coming out for the party. If they would only move the game to a Saturday it would make it easier to entice people. The majority of people have to work Monday and don’t like to party the night before. It sounds like the Northern Lites Club will be here. They are selling Grey Cup tickets this year and will be sorting out the winners at our place. I am sure that it won’t be me with the score that I picked, but there is nothing unusual about that.
