So THIS is what we woke up to this morning! My fellow Albertans keep assuring me that this is NOT normal weather for April. It's just that we moved here at the end of one of the worst winters in a long time.
For comparison's sake, here's a photo of what we did on Saturday. Janelle, wearing a tank top in the lovely warm weather, raked 11 bags of leaves and debris in our unkempt front yard. Photo of blister on her hand to prove how hard she worked.
But I still like living here! Here's a few reasons why:
- The Save-On Foods has a Second Cup coffee shop inside the store -- and grocery carts with cup holders!
- None of the grocery stores charge for their carts.
- I can't walk to Save-On Foods, but I CAN walk to the chiropractor, dentist, doctor, Sobey's grocery store, post office, convenience store, bank, etc.
- We have wide open fields that are beautiful.
There are more reasons but that's enough for now!

Snow? Wow! Be careful when shoveling out there... you might go too deep and strike oil. Then you'd have too much money and wouldn't be able to spend it all. Come to think of it, we know of a good 12-step program for that problem. To sign up, send 12, $1000 cheques to: lakesidegreeks.blogspot.com
