Our world Tuesday: lots of snow

Snow on the west coast of Canada, yay!
I remember coastal snow well. I had to get to work in it, for years, and nobody on the west coast is very good at driving in it. It is heavy wet snow and causes more traffic jams than rush hour. In rush hour, it was worse.

However, it was a happy occasion earlier in December when my brother Clint got to take his grandson Malcolm out to experience the fun side of snow. Buttoning and zippering and mittening done, Malcolm was happy to look at the 5-tiered snowman someone built .

Meanwhile, here in Alberta, we had snow galore. Snow in Medicine Hat, and in the town next door where we live, snow on the Trans Canada Highway (also known as Highway 1) and north on Highway 2 when we went to visit Dick's daughters in Red Deer. We were joined there by his eldest daughter who lives in the Far North, along with her daughter Taylor Dawn and also Taylor Dawn's daddy. It was great to see them.

very deep, so Lindy was

Lindy enjoyed our time at the Red Deer Lodge, and especially liked sitting in the lobby where people would see her and come to pet her. The lobby has a nice seating area where we visited with Dick's youngest daughter, her husband, and their children, who arrived from Medicine Hat and were headed farther north. These are the grandchildren Lindy knows best, so she was very happy they came.

We were all glad to get home safely, and looking forward to getting some rest after a lot of traveling.
