The air has been so cold that the recent snow storm left about a foot of light, fluffy snow that Sue just couldn't resist. We got all our snowshoeing gear on Sunday afternoon 01/05/14 around 1:30pm and headed over to the Bellamy River Wildlife Sanctuary for an hour or so.

She and her friend Jen had been snowshoeing there on Saturday and Sue had said the snow had been some of the best she has ever experienced. She was right, it was beautiful and now I'm spoiled for those conditions.

On the way home, we stopped off to do the food shopping as I was doing a new Thai stir fry recipe for dinner. I lit a fire in the fire place and started doing all of the food prep while Sue took care of some things she needed to do. But, of course, by 5:30pm we were sipping wine and battling it out over the backgammon board.

I'm chagrined to admit that she got me down 7 points and I just couldn't recover. In fact, it got worse Sunday night....
