Happy New Years

Let's start off with a greeting:
Wasn't that corny!
I have to include one more picture of the mountains with a freighter.  I never get tired of this view.  The mountains are actually on the mainland about 40 kilometers away.

To celebrate the new year, we decided to clean our living room carpet.  We have a Bissell Little Green Machine.  It works quite well.  We did the cleaning right before bedtime so we wouldn't have to walk on the wet carpet.  In the morning it was still a bit damp.  So we went shopping!

We got a rude shock today (Sunday) when we woke up.  The world was white.  Our awning was full of heavy wet snow and leaning over.  One of the arms came loose.  Wayne was outside in the dark at 530am adjusting and shovelling snow. Bah humbug.

I will admit that the trees are beautiful with their dusting of snow.  We went for a long albeit slippery walk this afternoon.  What  a winter wonderland!

Cheers everybody.

HAVE A HEALTHY AND HAPPY 2011
