You have such a lovely and touching way of telling us memories that belong to you. It's like we're there.
It is always such a pleasure to read you. Thank you, sweet O Kate .
And hugs to you too, from your Friends.
HalfMoonRun ~ It's a comfort knowing You all are doing fine !! Even though most of the states that have been negatively impacted are used to snowy conditions, they are not used to the severity of the recent storms. I lived in the mountains ( in a Lumber Mill ) when I was a kid and snow in Winter was not taken lightly. My Dad made sure we were safe and warm. We had electricity, a large propane backup generator and two wood burning stoves, so we never really worried about the weather. My Dad was the only one that could drive in the snow, so he would take all the school kids up to the main highway to catch the bus. Those are happy memories for sure !! Hugs my Friends !!
Sweet O Kate - We are all doing very well in our Snow Country. We're touched by your concern. Some of us, coming from another Canadian province where the climate is milder, have ended up getting used to the harsh winter of Québec. (But they're happier to be in the sun.) Winter here invites each other to warm up ... and offers often breathtaking sceneries. Unlike cities in USA that have been hit severely by cold and heavy snow lately, the towns of the province are all well equipped to cope with heavy snowfall in a short time.
Be sure that we will continue stay safe and warm. - LOVE, from all of us.
