Afternoon All!

Nicki, did you say you got a new email? Your old one now working anymore? Talk to you later, gotta run!

[survivornikki]

Hi Christine-I don't want to give up the email address, it is the one I have used for years, but I can't get on for days at a time. I think it is my computer I was having a terrible time with a spread sheet the other day--but I can get on Gmail and Yahoo with no problem. Anyone who emails and doesn't get a response, sorry--I keep hoping it will work out. Anyway, a minor annoyance.

Sleep well everyone and God Bless you.

Good Morning Nikki, Blessings to You. Hope you are keeping well, and looking forward to Spring.:^O

[wattie515]

Hope everyone has a good day.:-x

Hello Diane! Hello Shirley! Hello All here and lurking. Hope everyone has a very good day. Yes, Spring is on its way. I remember especially when we lived in New York, one week on the Bronx River Parkway, after months of bare branches, there would be just a hint of green, a week later--we could see buds, a week later an explosion of those fresh, young, green Spring leaves. It is such a miracle--it would make me wonder how anyone could doubt God exists. On the West Coast here, we don't have the months of bare trees, then a dramatic arrival of Spring. It sort of creeps up on us. We have had snowdrops, now some of the trees have blossoms, my tulips are coming up (of course not blooming), my lilac will be later...but maybe at this stage of my life this is more comforting. The constant, gentle reminder--Spring is never far away.

Hi Nikki......I sure hope your right :-x Winter in Alberta is getting to be a loooooooong drawn out affair.
It started snowing in Nov. and hasn't stopped since..
The drive way is piled up about 4 ft. high and the road is piled up at least 6 ft.....and very cold.....it is supposed to snow all of next week too.......It's a looooong one!!!! But we're from Alberta and we're tough.;-) Nice to hear from you and take care:-x

[wattie515]

Everyone have a great Saturday!!!!!!!! :-x

[survivornikki]

A very cute gif to start the day with! (or it my case to see in the afternoon). Thank you!

:-x To any missing ones--my email service is still coming and going, I will answer any emails when I can pull them up again.

[oldhorselover-aways]

Good afternoon to the Sunshine Girls, full of hope, great way to think, Spring is just around the corner:-x:-)
For those cold nights in Alberta, warm thoughts and wishes to you, Wattie.

[wattie515]

Thank you Diane.......that is absolutely beautiful.....I think I can use that as wallpaper on my desktop...:-x

[survivornikki]

Shirley--is that much snow usual for your area in Alberta? In NYS we would have snowfalls that stayed for months, but it was 4 or 5 storms that it just didn't warm up between. Gorgeous Springs though--worth the wait. My Aunt used to live in Edmonton and tell us about the cold, but I was young and didn't listen well--wish I could ask her questions now.

[survivornikki]

Diane-that is lovely.

[wattie515]

Hi Nikki......I have lived here for 20 some odd years. and this has been the most snowfall that I've seen..so the weather forecasters are saying that because of the cold air it is turning all the moisture from BC into snow. Hope it quits soon !!! compared to NY tho we have been so lucky......what a mess their in.....Poor people:-(

[survivornikki]

Shirley--would you prefer to be called Wattie? I know you said something about your signature change on another thread. MLM (Julie) had a terrible time with a troll. Not only attacked her auctions here, but followed her to another venue.

I have not lived here (Victoria) long, but certainly the locals are complaining about our weather this year. We had snow in November (very rare)--and honestly, not that bad--I think about 8 inches, but the city doesn't have much equipment. They contract the work out--so you have a guy with a pickup and a small plow working 20 hours in a row. The side streets are just not done. Everyone jokes about Victoria, but where we are, there are terrific hills and even 4 wheel drives can't make it up them. Then another good dump of snow. We had terrific storms on the beach this year. Neighbours that have been here 50 years built retaining walls for the first time. Now they are forecasting more flooding when it warms up and the snow packs start melting. It has been a bad winter for a normally mild weather place. It was bad enough in December that I posted I would house CTSers from midIsland--luckily, everyone was okay.

I can't do gifs, but I am sending prayers and hugs to keep you all warm.
