Welcome to my blog. I'm Janet Adams. I have my share of interests; motherhood, wine, prayer, politics, the future of my town, my friends and family, books, libraries, and paddling. The two that I'm putting the most energy into learning are books and paddling.
First the books. I've loved stories for as long as I can remember. I can easily spend an morning, afternoon, or evening reading. Just add a cup of tea or a glass of wine and I'm content on even the most miserable of days. For the past three years I've been a distance education student at Mohawk College learning to be a library technician. Or in other words how to operate a library day to day. I'm currently volunteering at the front desk of the Collingwood Public library as well. I love books, and I love my studies and volunteering. I've found a vocation.
Next, the paddling. Four summers ago the Collingwood Dragon Boat and Canoe club had an open house. I stepped into a boat and found it was easy. Ha! Ha! Ha! Since then I've discovered it's not so easy to master. I'm paddling with the Collingwood Sidelauncher's competive dragon boat team three times a week. It's hard work, but I love the rhythm of the stroke, the team work involved, and the feel of being on the water. I also enjoy paddling in the club's flatwater kyaks. It's fun exploring the harbour at the same level as the geese and ducks.
I'm doing this blog as part of my library technician's course work. I'm looking forward to sharing more of musings with you. More about me in later posts.
Cheers!

Hi Janet,
It sounds like you've been very busy over the last few years.
I also enjoy volunteering, but at my kids' school in the JK/SK or Grade 1 classroom.
(remember me :D...sorry it has been so long)
Jeanette
