Snowshoeing anyone?

Happy Sunday to all! Lots of people are enjoying an extra long weekend thanks to Family Day in many provinces. I hope you all have a great time with your loved ones. When we lived in Ontario, we used to love that holiday, a nice break in the middle of Winter. There is no Family Day in Quebec but it doesn't matter. We're retired, maybe tomorrow will be a "Family Day" for us!

This past week was good. Russell had a wonderful birthday. We had a lovely lunch in Pointe-Claire village. The rest of HIS day was spent at home with his three loves. We showered Russell with presents, kisses and a birthday cake. It was a wonderful celebration for a wonderful man!

On Thursday, Russell got me some snowshoes. We started thinking that snowshoeing would be better than shovelling for my arm. I think we may be on to something! Yesterday, I flattened some of the snow banks...now we can see the pooches when they travel the paths. Next time we get snow, my plan is to snowshoe the paths.  We'll see how that goes. Either way, it's a great exercise, whether one snowshoes in the woods or in a backyard.

Valentines Day came and went. It was a relaxing day and a great way to enjoy Friday night Pizza and Wine!

Today feels like Spring, mild and sunny. We were out with the pooches earlier and the cardinals were all around us, happy and singing away. I love those birds!

Not much else is going on with us. We've been quiet and lazy. Nothing wrong with that. As such, it's a short blog. I'm reading a good book, Russell is updating his Ancestry data base. Cooper and Spicy are waiting for dinner. It's all good.

I wish you all a great week and a happy Family Day, for those that celebrate.


Russell and his birthday crew...Spicy and Cooper...the carrot cake
was delicious but none for the pooches!

Spicy and Cooper are always willing to lend a hand!

A new whiskey...Oban Little Bay. What a lucky
guy. The pooches approve.

A nice birthday lunch...does not get any better.

Cooper and Spicy love to supervise...my snowshoe
technique was in fine form.

One snow bank done...a few more to do. Sure beats shovelling!
