[Magdalen] Oh Canada

[Joseph Cirou]

Well that is my thought, coming from Chicago and living in Atlanta, but every so often the weather surprises you because we have a true but short winter. My grandfather lived in Winnipeg for a while as did our housekeeper. I learned how cold it could be in Manitoba and inherited my grandfather's beaver hat.I still wear the Russian hats that we all wore at Christ the Redeemer (North Slavic Country)

>My friend Sue stopped by for tea and a knitting lesson today.  It's been a beautiful High Winter day: fresh fluffy snow, sun, and that deep blue sky that means cold weather -- but in fact it was only about 25F or -5C.  As she was getting ready to go, she put on boots, toque, hoodie, and parka.  I observed with a chuckle as she stepped out the door that she hadn't zipped the parka or hoodie. "Why would I? It's not windy."
