Snowy roads and everywhere else too
Well, it's not as cold here as in GP but it is dang cold enough. And snowy enough. Went to the city partly to drive Will to the airport, partly to go to a concert and partly to deliver Geoff and Will to install Allison's baseboards. Accomplished all three although not without some difficulty.
On the way to the airport to drop Will we hit a bit of black ice and then hit the ditch. Nobody was hurt, but we were worried about Will getting to his plane on time. Phoned for a taxi, but someone stopped to see if we were all right and took Will and his luggage to the airport. So that was our main worry taken care of. Started phoning for a tow truck; there were either long waits (like 60 calls ahead of us) or they didn't want to rescue us on Hwy 2. Then a man in a truck going the other direction stopped, and right after that another guy with a winch on his truck and between them they got us out. Good Samaritans; must be one more often. The taxi never did show up.
The concert was great; it was John Mann from Spirit of the West, John Wort Hannam, Ron Heath and Karla Anderson. Allison, Grace and Grace's friend Leanna joined us for supper at Jude's then we all went to the concert. Concerts would be another good reason to live in the city.
Geoff and Will got most of Allison's baseboards installed, Mom and Lisa will be glad to hear. Al says she thinks she can do the rest now that she knows how to do it.
Roads home were snowy and not too good in places, but we are here. Geoff hopped right onto the treadmill with his iPad.
I am glad this wintry weather is now instead of at Christmastime.

You never said what you think about taking a long weekend (or even just a weekend) to get Mom's dresser here-with a day spent at Radium.
What do you guys think?
It is a good idea. I need to recover from this weekend's driving first.
Yes, I'd like to make sure we can a) get there b) get back
