Well, the month of November is almost over. To say the least, it has been a very eventful month in my hometown of Abbotsford, BC. While a large portion of our city is under water, I have been blessed with safety in my home. While other family members live in Abbotsford and surrounding communities, none have been flooded out of their homes, at least to my knowledge.
Just an update when it comes to the blog and the family members’ video interviews I have been organizing. I had scheduled an interview with Dad, Aunt Ev and Uncle Rich together in 100 Mile House, BC. The day I was to travel to 100 Mile, the torrential rainfall across BC created floods and mudslides that caused major highway damage and closures. I had thought of leaving on the Sunday but decided not to as I had take my son to an appointment the following day. If I had, I would have been stranded in 100 Mile House and unable to get home to my sons and work.
Well, the interview was cancelled, and we will re-schedule sometime next Spring. It could have been done virtually but the dynamic would have been different than what I was looking for during the in-person interview. In the meantime, I have been working towards a couple of new interviews. One is with my half-sister, Cris and the other with my cousin, Sandy.
Just so everyone in the family is aware, interviews are being arranged based on the oldest working my way down to the youngest. By the time I get to the youngest, hopefully they will be able to chat with me. The youngest in our family is not even a year old yet!
I want to thank everyone for doing the interviews and contributing to the Blog and family history. If I haven’t interviewed you yet, I am really looking forward to doing so!
On another note, are there any takers out there to do my interview for the Blog?? I would welcome a family member to step up and take the ‘microphone’! Now, don’t all jump at once but will need to get something arranged as it’s fast coming up. You will be the interviewer (even come up with questions) and a guest on the We Are Family Briggs blog. I’m really excited to see who steps forward and am looking forward to being on the other side of the interview – well, maybe not so much….. let me know as soon as possible so we can start having some fun!
Next post will be another segment of Who Shares Your Birthday with a special ancestral family member – I can’t wait to share it!
Stay safe everyone – Vicky

Thanks Vicky for the report. Well done:)
With respect to your interview I have 2 suggestions. I think Rich would be very good and entertaining at doing it and I know Lynda would love to do it as well. I know this because at one point she said she would. She does interviews and MC different events, etc. as part of her work. So, you have 2 very capable individuals so far.
Take care.
