Hi,you are probably out shopping now!..sigh..it’s -8 today, which is not that bad considering.

My Mom and Jim always brought down their Magic Jack to Phoenix and even Mexico one year. My son had his place built. We chipped in the pool and had a van down there. He had a really young family (oldest was 5 back then) so he would go twice a year during school holidays so he asked Mom and Jim to stay for the winters as they live in Steveston, BC. I would fly down for a month or 2, my husband decides to retire, and that month Richard decides he had better sell the place,(after 4 years) we thought it would not sell for a year or 2 as prices were really low. Mom and Jim were driving down, and it sold within that month with immediate possession 🙃 My husband found it cold in January..we had to tape his tapes and pipes outside, so now we winter in Asia.

Gerry trucked mainly to Inuvik, Tuk, Anchorage and Fairbanks and Yellowknife plus a few years running back and forth to Montreal, so I would go one way sometimes and fly back. The road from Ft Nelson to Inuvik has to be the most beautiful I have ever seen. We also took a rally race car from Las Vegas to Indiana to do the old Cannonball run then down to Daytona, so we have seen a lot of country. We thought about driving down to Mexico, but I think it is too dangerous now and Gerry likes Asia too much now.

I can imagine your get togethers at your place, we would go down to Yuma and see friends that winter in Trailer and Modular Homes Park and it’s a great community.

By the way, when you mention NS, all I could think of is fresh seafood!!

Our Van was still licensed in Alberta with coverage for the States, our Insurance Broker had a House down there too, and suggested that..probably not now..this way 6/7 years ago. NinaRover
