A wee bit white

“But the snow has been fun this week:



It is more ice than snow, and the ice is sheetlike.

Makes me wonder why I was whining about being in Florida over Christmas, and *gasp* that 83* was hot, and today? It was 21* when I woke up. Sigh.

“let's see, is that madeira beach or treasure island?”

“Cyndee, here is Treasure Island:


The photo was from De Soto Park :-)”

“My folks have two places on Treasure Island. I have yet to be there though. FL is a fun place to visit.”

“My In-Law's live on Treasure Island, and have another place on Madeira Beach. Cyndee is lucky to live in such a pretty area!!
As you can see from the foot photo....it is blue skies and white beaches.”

“you better stop by next time! you were what like 3 minutes away? btw we have a couple of outfitters and the boy scout council shop in the area that would probably put your book in. bring some with you the next time. i'm planning on teaching a class in freezer bag cooking next fall at university of scouting.”

“Oh cool! Hey, if you would like our flyers that we give out at the classes we teach for Boy Scouts here, let me know. I think the hubby has it in PDF format :-)

My in-law's kept us so busy I barely had any free time :-( My MIL planned a wedding reception/family reunion when we were there. Talk about tiring!
But! We are planning on coming back! Probably every year or so, since we have a free place to stay. Next time will be easy, as I know where everything is. And you'll have to show me where the outfitters are!”

“We (Oregon coast) even had a few inches of snow on the beach today!”

“We got hammered up here again the other day.... almost a foot of snow here in Vancouver. I think that's storm #14 for the season.

Beautiful and clear today though but pretty chilly (in the teens) with that cold air dropping down from the north. Temps dropped to -18f just east of the Cascades. Up in northern BC they got down almost to -40 (doesn't matter if it's fahrenheit or celcius when it gets that cold)

“I've heard there is a lot of damage to trees and the sea wall at Stanley Park in Vancouver. Hang in there Hodgeman, winter should be over in about three months.”
