Yesterday morning I got up and I saw my neighbours out with their children making a snowman and then I heard a loud scream from the kitchen. It was  husband informing me the NHL strike was over.   Wow, I didn't think that would happen at all this season.   We decided to celebrate by going snow shoeing at Christie Conservation Park.  It was lovely. There were families walking with their kids and dogs and horse backing riding .  I felt like I was in a commercial for a winter getaway. It was  a lovely way to finish off my weekend.
