Had to have one!!



Got my new ipad air today.  Having fun trying to figure out how it works.  Funny when you buy a $5.00 pos you get a whole manual to tell you how to use it.  You buy a high priced electronic item and you get a piece of paper with about 6 lines on it.  Go figure!!


Currently I can connect to the internet through wifi at home.   I will have to buy an internet program  if I want to use it on the road.  That is something to think about in the future.  The biggest advantage for me currently is being able to text with my kids and grandkids.  They all have iphones.  Yahoo!!  Already tested it out on Twyla this evening.  Works great.

The temperature where they live will be 5' F tonight which is much better than the -25', - 30' or - 40' they have had.  They had to clear the snow off their house, garage and barn already this winter.  Hockey was cancelled tonight as they were concerned about the snow load on the roof of the arena.  A crew is coming out to clear it off tomorrow.  She says that barns, garages and  riding stables are falling all around them. They have more snow this winter than she remembers ever having.  Welcome to Alberta!!!

We had a lovely day today up in the 70's and a few laps in the pool were on the agenda followed by one of our great hot tubs.  But tonight the wind has come up again and the temperature is supposed to drop to 36' over night.  Almost freezing............and they call this place Frostproof!!!  Oh well we are not shovelling snow!!!  In a few day the weather will be back up to the temperatures we expect in Florida.

Judy and I headed to the clubhouse today to take our first pool lesson.  When we arrived the place was in darkness.  The teacher never showed up.  Just like the first day of school???



We stayed and banged the balls around for an hour.  We do need lessons............badly.  Hoping that next week he remembers that the holidays are over and shows up to billiard school.

Until next time - safe travels!!
