The grip of winter kept us closer to home this past week. We walked the boardwalk a few days but walking the neighbourhood meant we could escape to home easily if we needed too. One day, with windchill of -23 C, cold stung our faces making an escape necessary.
Not only is Bedeque Bay ice covered now, with all the the snow we had last week, it is snow covered too. In places now, one can’t discern the shoreline from the snowy, ice-covered water below.
We attended two gymnastics competitions which our youngest granddaughter participated in last week. Her enjoyment of the sport and determination to do her best are wonderful to see. There is another competition next weekend which we will attend if weather permits.
Also recently, one of my friends from book club passed away. Another ‘bookie’ and I attended her funeral last week. Katie was an avid reader and a kind, generous, loving person. I find it hard to believe she is gone. She will be missed.
Many in Canada watched the news on Saturday about the 25% tariffs the U.S. will impose on Canadian goods entering that country. In response, Canada will impose retaliatory tariffs on goods entering Canada from the U.S.
Our daughter sent us this photo of the golden grand-dog, Daisy, early Saturday evening.
I wrote, “Daisy looks worried.”
Our daughter responded, “She’s scared the tariffs are going to affect her number of treats.”
It is good we can chuckle about it. For now…

And that worried dog photo... I think many people can relate to that concern about tariffs. 🌍 Here in Europe, we’re also thinking: what’s that "guy" in America going to do now? I heard we’re prepared, and that there might be a halt on imported goods out of the USA. 🚢❌ Well, we’ll see how it goes. Great blog, by the way!
Always difficult, those funerals. Wishing you strength. 💔🌹🙏
The cold makes everything a bit harder to cope with, but I think the granddog will be fine.
It's cold here too, but nothing like you have. And we got some snow last night. It will be an exciting trek to the bus this morning.
Laughter is the best medicine, and do we ever need medicine.
The Wall Street Journal calls it "The Dumbest Trade War in History." Not that it will deter the Orange Menace.
Sorry to hear about your book club friend. It's hard when our social circles start to diminish.
