FROM THIS:

TO THIS IN ONTARIO!

This is what a winter wonderland looks like! Of course, if you ski and snowboard, this is a dream come true. Usually we do not have snow like this until after Christmas. The hills are open for business now.

Christmas is just days away and Paul asked me what I wanted for Christmas…. well I got my wish; our boys will be home for the holidays all the way from British Columbia. One son arrived last night at midnight and the other arrives next Friday morning. If they did not come…. it would have been the first Christmas without them. That time will come (later), but I am not ready. The boys are happy to be home to meet their niece for the first time. Our first grandchild was born in October.

You can see we will be having a Very Merry Christmas, we hope that where ever you are… your Christmas is very Merry also.

We travel to Florida next month and do some interesting road trips and excursions. So stay tuned.
