Oh Canada!

Who would have ever thought I would leave -15 degree air and go 35 hours north to Calgary, Canada to a 40 degree warm up???!!! Well, that's exactly what happened....and believe me, I'm not complaining.

I went on a long weekend trip to visit Ian and his kids, and it was alot of fun. I got to meet many of his friends and have a nice dinner with his kids (Bryony, Sean and Conor). Ian lives on Sylvan Lake in Canada and he decided he needed to take me out onto the lake....or should I say to "walk" on the lake. Even though I was watching 4-wheelers, motorcycles and even the occasional truck plowing the snow away for a makeshift race track, I was still leary of walking on this iced up lake. But, I did and I got on....and quickly got off!!! Tempting fate is not my thing...even though the ice was 2 ft thick. :)

I was only there for 3 days, so we did not have a whole lot of time to do much, but I was glad to go. Ian is here now and is keeping busy with doing work in the house and keeping me warm.

Not much else is going on....Shelbey has had exams all week, so there has been a little stress in the air, but she is trooping through. This is the first time she has experienced "exam week" so she was not quite sure of what she was in for. Well, let's just say she realizes she needs to do things a little different next time!

I have attached some pictures of my visit to Canada...and I hope everyone is staying warm and not killing yourself shovelling. Take care. XOXO
