ICEEEEEE TRIP TO CANADA

We made a short but very worthwhile trip to Canada.  We were able to spend 4 days with Allan's mother, who is having serious health problems.  She is now staying in assisted care near her home.  It was a very good visit and time to support her.  We also had good visits with many of Allan's siblings .  Everyone is stressed with Mom's condition so it was great to have occasion to talk and make future plans.




It was SERIOUSLY cold!!  I had forgotten how quickly your nose hairs freeze in -0* weather.  But it made for beautiful sights with frozen snow clinging to everything.




 
We were happy to stay with Jim and try to lighten his burdens.  He was for the most part, his same funny, jovial and terrific host.   How much alike are these 2 cute and wonderful brothers!
