End of January Update

Hi everyone!  Not too much excitement going on here in Vancouver.  Just lots of rain, cloudy days, and a little bit of snow!  Last week we had about 3 inches of snow!  It was so pretty to look at!  Wish I would've taken some pictures.

When it snowed in Wilmington, the whole city shut down.  Actually, when they are even calling for flurries or snow, lots of things close down.  Not here though...I guess that's why they call it the Great White North.  I had to go to work on our "Snow Days".  And since I did not even want to think about driving in it, I walked and took the bus. 

While walking I had several thoughts running through my head...
1.  The falling snow is soooo pretty, this isn't so bad.
2.  My dad used to tell us stories of when he was in school in Erie, PA.  He had to walk miles and miles to school in several feet of snow! (uphill both ways too).  I feel I can now relate to him and have a story for my kids.  "I used to have to walk to work in the snow!"
3.  Rainboots make awful snowboots!
