SNOW

Woo , it fell in those teeny tiny flakes and melted as soon as it hit the road but then the snow fell more strongly and stayed on the ground.

We were still able to go grocery shopping in the morning as the roads were clear from all the traffic. After we came home and put all the groceries away we made a trip to The Villa, the closest casino in town. It was a good day. Ray won around $400 and gave me $100 as I was not winning at all. He won most of the day so he said the casino would take us for dinner at TOPS. We go there often as it is like a neighbourhood restaurant and they know us there.  
We had salad and their wonderful dressing, then Salsbury Steak a favourite of ours. The plates were very large and I could not eat it all. Too bad as it is very good. Ray managed to eat all his dinner. We had no room for dessert. If we want dessert we will have to go for just that LOL.

So now we are content and relaxing for the evening. the TV is on and the news is interesting. 
Tomorrow is the men's hockey Canada against Sweden.

This picture
 is of a huge stone that fell off the mountain
 .Highway 3A between Castlegar and Creston closed after a large rockfall on February 21, 2014. A BIG rock fall. 



Try and get past this one LOL.



And try and get past this one LOL.  It is so cute with these darling kittens under the protection of the bull dog.

Such a cute

 four square quilt with an appliqued border. 

It is an Eleanor Burns  piece.







And this is from quiltmaker 100 blocks.

 I looked again today and still no sign of this issue.

Stomachs full and nap time needed.
