It is really on the chilly side now, constant -19’ish with west’ish winds giving -34 wind chills, ugly boy. Not having much snow on the ground has the cold creeping up through the floors too, bring on the snow, alas non in the mediate forecast.
The GD has some photos of the happy face kind, taken after her passing the private pilot license tests, so it is not all blues.
If any one is of a mind to visit Labrador and need a comfortable place to stay in Happy Valley they could do a lot worse than stay at Davis’s B & B. Or as Marion entered it in her address, davisbandb, she got a chuckle out of doing that, new to the internet at the time. Nice clean rooms, lots of space in the dinning/kitchen area and amiable hosts who can give you some great insight into that part of the country, be sure to make time after breakfast for some great yarning. I will put a link at right side bar soon.
The December issue of Canadian Geographic has a good article on the food mail program I have occasion to mention on the blog. I like the heading on the cover “Tale Of The black Banana, how fresh food gets to the Arctic”. It is an accurate depiction of the woes and successes of efforts to get the food to its destinations all over the north. The article is centered mainly on Nunavik and the high arctic, with a small mention of Labrador. There is a very good map of the entry pints and communities served.

Canada Post does not come out in any good light, rightly so.
This little blog gets a mention too, ho hum. The magazine does not have a full on line version, you have to purchase the hard copy to get the full Monty.
Sad news of the times for us is that my sister Vicki passed away yesterday at about 10.30 AM. We are glad we got to be with her one last time for the days we did. Personally I am relieved she did not hang on any longer, only the drugs kept her comfortable, to a point.
