Beautiful building in Ottawa! You can see the French influence.

Self-portrait, Nicole? ;-)

My DGD just sent me this photo of her mom (my daughter) from her cell phone. They're all leaving shortly to go skiing in Vermont this weekend.

Yep Susan....I wish I looked that Good! :0)
...your daughter on the other hand is beautiful!!!

Bev....where is that? Chinatown maybe? Year of the rabbit?

I could be posting a picture of snow, as in "it is snowing again", but don't want to depress anyone... so, here some more California Coast

Attended our annual book club anniversary party the founder throws each year. There are ten of us and we've been meeting once a month for 12 years now.

Strawberry Stars served at the party. My next door neighbor, a gal who literally grew up in our home caters these parties. She is magic with food.

Jodi-

Jodi, those are fabulous, and I think your book club deserves a separate thread. I'm sure I'm not the only one who would like to hear more about it.

ditto what Alisande said

nicole is that made out of snow or a sculpure

bengardening.....it's made from a block of snow, then carved. It's a contest. This year they lit them up with lights at night. A few of the displays had problems with melting...:0)

nicole, are those photos from the international snow sculpting competition in Breckenridgege last weekend? My son sent similar pics from there. He, DDIL & the 4 GKs were there skiing.

drewsmaga....yes! We rented a condo with a fireplace and hiked snowy mountain trails....

Nicole, I have a niece that wants to come to Colorado in the summer with her husband and almost grown boys. They are interesting in hiking and enjoying the great outdoors. Do you have a favorite place or places to recommend???
