Blogging again

Hello:
It has been a few months and I am feeling much better after receiving a Pacemaker.
I plan to start posting again, probably after the Easter weekend.

I will probably post items from my mothers side of the family (Link) as well as Kip/Kipp items.
We shall see how much time I can devote to research.

Hiatus from genealogy!

The last week has been interesting to say the least. I went for a visit to my cardiologist last Friday and ended up staying in the hospital ICU for three days waiting for an appointment at the Ottawa Heart Institute. They decided to install a Pacemaker. Now I am home recovering from the surgery. After a month of so I can start rebuilding my daily exercise routines to help keep my weight under control.

I am looking forward to longer walks, biking, and canoeing this summer.

Future postings

Hello all:
I am currently taking a brief break from posting items about my Kip/Kipp and Link ancestors. As soon as get back to doing some research, I will post again.  My web site: www.kipp-blake-families.ca/ .  Any questions or comments: ekipp@rogers.com.
