I think we have had more snow than Canada in the last few weeks!

I bet Cyns has been busy today, she should be back here any time.........

And where is our Dea?

Gins

you mean here in Vancouver??


not that much


There was quite a dump (ca 10 cm) around Dec 19, while we were away, and snow showers on one day in January.


Most of the rest of Canada has had record or close to record snow falls.


The mountains across the harbour have also had near record falls on the ski areas ............ one of them still has close to 500 cm on the slopes, the other 2 have over 400 cm.



It was a shade too warm down here at sea level ....................... we got a lot of rain!

Sylvs.....have you 'had' any snow this winter?

HAPPY EASTER
xxxx





another warm sunny day .........................



as consolation, I have to say, they are now forecasting cloudy and possibly rain for Tuesday

Sylvia I didn't realise I had got that one :-D :-D :-D :-D

Gins wish I was nearer you for that massage. Which reminds me of a funny story. many years ago we were at the Modern Homes Exibition. They had a stand which was selling various massagers in various forms one of which was a vibrating cushion.

One of my sons offerred to buy me it as a birthday treat.

The lady asked me if I was treating myself and I said "No I am so old that my son is buying me a vibrating cushion"

Everyone withing hearing distance burst out laughing!! I couldn't get away quick enough :-D

Don't know what they were thinking ;-)

Sylvia hope things continue to go well with the visit <3


David hope you get home next weekend :-)
