BIG SNOW-WINTER 2008 - SKIING TOO

We have had 130 cm. of snow so far this winter in Toronto...cost 8 million dollars to clear up with more on the way. We may beat the record which was 210 cm. in 1937.

Brant and the grandkids

Abigail, Taylor, Nicholas, Emily and Brant
at Killbear Park on Georgian Bay

Sweet songs by the shore...morning and evening in Muskoka

Jen skied with me at Craigleith ski club


Deep new snow on ice and crunch..commonly called "krud" made skiing really challenging...still fun, but hard!!

Jim's wonderful back yard rink....see my youtube


The rink is wonderful again this year...Emily and Taylor and all their friends love to skate on it.

Emily and Linda ski the second Saturday


Emily and I skied for the second Saturday and it was as much fun or more than the first...terrific!!!

I took my grand-daughter Emily to have a wonderful ski together on a Saturday. It was just so much fun, singing on the chairlift, having snacks, learning and sharing. I hope it happens again soon!!!! I loved it and so did Em.

CUTTING DOWN OUR CHRISTMAS TREE-07

I went out with Jen and Jim and the children, plus Lee Eubank, to chop down our Christmas tree...snow and sliding and lots of fun...plus hot dogs and a blazing open fire to warm up by and toast marshmallows on a stick

SNOW IN OUR GARDEN


It snowed all day and all night...beautiful and good for sledding with the kids

Linda is very proud of her new jacket


That jacket is showing that I am now a SKI INSTRUCTOR....WOW ZOW

HOT DOGS AND HOT CIDER


It all tastes so good after trekking around in the snowy fields...yummy
