Now we know how a frozen cake feels
We have gone from rain to snow to now a deep freeze. BRRRRRRR it is lovely clear and cold. A fireplace is what is needed on days like today. Or a nice warm shopping mall would do it.
Well no such thing out here but we did have an extra chopper yesterday and it was a bit like Christmas. Boxes, boxes, finally arrived. And now I can get my Christmas boxes ready to head out.
The guards com's are still down so who knows when they will get them fixed at least we have our personal phone and of course the computer. But with all the snow it keeps us busy not just keeping them cleared off but the boardwalks, stairs and of course the helicopter pad as well. Not allowed to let that build up. Not a good thing for one to land on pad covered in snow unless they really have to. So it meant on Sat and Sunday the guys where out several times keeping it clear.
It is feeling like the weather I used to just love a child back East in Quebec and Ontario. Those where days when you spend all day building snow castles and sliding down the road across the street from where we lived with my Older Brother. Those where great days. Which children today do not have. We had so much fun doing that and of course snow angels, castles, and sadly sticking our tongues to metal. We sure learned fast not to do that to often.
Times one wishes that we still had that fun and not feel the cold so much as children we and others never really felt it just enjoyed it.
As we get older it really hits us and the warm house or mall looks great. Well off I go to see about the house here and maybe I will go make a snow angel.
