Snow snow snow

We have been having a lot of snow this year!  We have a snowblower but we actually prefer to shovel for the exercise.

 I have an aunt who came through some serious surgery just fine and is recuperating in hospital this week.  She actually lives in Florida.  It was nice that her three adult sons took time off from their jobs to be with her at this time.  In fact, one of them lives in the Boston area and flew home to be with her.  She will stay with one of their families for a few weeks until she has her strength back.

 It is the time of year for Winterlicious 2014.  The best restaurants in Toronto promote their restaurants by running prix fixe menus.  We will be going to dinner at a nice one with friends and I also got invited to a luncheon next week. 


Have a great Saturday!

It's great that your aunt has help from family. The prix fixe dinners sound like a great idea. Hope you take lots of photos.

In addition to seeing their mother, leaving winter craziness for Florida must of been nice.

It's always nice to have loving, caring family members when you are not well.

Winterlicious sounds like fun, and a great way to try new places. Have fun!

Oh Christine, that is THE coolest picture! It looks like a little Alice-inspired rabbit hole in the snow :) Stay warm and enjoy the gourmet meals! xoxo
