Ice and snow everywhere you go.

2025 we weren’t able to go to Florida because there were no rentals available in our favorite park. So when the chance came up to go and escape the winter we leapt for it. We were lucky enough to find a new house sitter as our previous one got her own apartment closer to her work. We were going to take all the pets with us, but no hotels allow 3 pets. So when we sent the word out to our kids, the oldest quickly came back with Maddie. Maddie is a student nurse working midnights. Living in a home with 2 other younger sisters, Maddie is looking forward to being able to sleep daytimes.

Looking forward to seeing our friends in Florida.

“Newspapers

no friends”

Facebook should pay the tax in Canada so we can share News again on Facebook. Google paid. Why can’t Facebook pay for content to help keep the content honest? By not having “real news” shared on Facebook. All Facebook is now “fake news”, “fraudsters” and “scammers”.
