That's odd, ginnie. Glaze ice is the only way I've heard ....................damn.............it isn't glaze ice it's
glare ice. Ooops a daisy. Sorry about that ginnie. I can't add on the other 10 years I was married between Ell's two marriages. Happy New Year, ginnieb

This is only my third winter in Canada, Lensman, and I find it all mesmerising. I have been told countless times about the Ice Storm of 5 years ago, and the evidence is obvious in the trees which were brought down by the weight or split by the cold.

I'm not sure where you're living, but boy, I remember ice storms in Ontario. Once, visiting friends, I used their guest parking, which was on a slight incline. During the evening, we had an ice storm which coated my car. When it came time to leave, I was scraping my windshield and that's all it took to get the car suddenly sliding down the incline. It munched up against a snowbank, so no harm done, but the drive home was indeed fraught with danger. So was my recent attempt at putting together an electric fireplace, so I empathize with your chair experience...

Thanks for the good wishes, Blanche. Yep, Ell is a sassy lady. You can practically hear the store staff jumping to attention when she enters.

There was hardly ever any frost in Scotland latterly, ginnie. And what there was would never stop a car door from opening or be dangerous to walk on. There used to be the odd early morning 'black ice' which I think is called 'glaze ice' over here. Thanks for the good wishes, ginnie. Just think, it's 3 years since leaving Scotland; 4 years since the wedding, part 2, or if you look at it long term - 43 years since the wedding, part 1. God I am getting old.

I like Ell, sassy woman that she is.
I hate going to stores and finding that the advertised item is smaller, cheesier and/or missing altogehter. Our local Rite-aid has a nasty habit of same. I take the item to the cash register and have to point out to them it's $5.99, not $7.99.
Otherwise, happy anniversary.
