WHO NEEDS THE GYM WHEN WE HAVE A CANADIAN SNOWSTORM

A snowstorm means lots of work to maintain the essentials. Tredging home to and from work Friday during the storm took more effort and time. Shovelling some of the 29 cm- 1 foot of accumulation in the Richmond Hill area-Vaughan where the kids live received 34 cm- took more muscle power. With some 2 foot and 3 foot drifts in the driveway, it took awhile to take off the top layers Saturday morning. The road was uncleared. We live on a corner so had a 20 foot wide and 2 foot high band across the driveway. So more tredging to the bank and stores nearby- twice gave me a workout. An emergency call to the hospital and more tredging home in the snow. Some more walking and shovelling today. So does my body feel it? Yes my biceps seem as if I did a good weight routine, my butt feels as if I did many series of squats and my legs are well toned like I have been on a treadmill running! Overall, I feel quite fit! And no membership fee! Glad I have some A5-35 handy to soothe these well worked muscles. Heh bring on the next storm!

A FINAL RESTING PLACE

What an interesting story to find King Richard's remains in England after so many centuries! He will finally have a proper resting place. In family history research, cemeteries are valuable places to find facts about our ancestors. In my early genealogical pursuits, many trips were made with my children in toll to several in York Region. Now with so many databases and the transcription of most of Ontario's cemeteries it is much easier to locate names and then go to the relevant cemetery. This little cairn located on Langstaff sideroad in Vaughan honours pioneers from the 1800s. Are there places you visit?
