Hi blue-ladybug, I lived in Alberta for several years when I first came to Canada. My children were born there. Enjoyed living there and going to the mountains. Loved the Rockies and miss them now that I live in the flat part of Ontario. I now love living by the Detroit River and enjoy the waterfront for walking and enjoying nature. Went for a walk this afternoon and we still have a lot of ice on the river but the sun was out and about freezing and it was very refreshing. The is beauty in each season. God is good!
