Why is Ken steaming? Why is he so HOT? Why does he look so happy?

Because he is hot, happy and steaming with body heat caused by our afternoon x-country skiing into Peachland Lake and back. Notice how low the waterline is, usually the picnic tables (which are mostly buried in snow) are only a few feet above the water and now they are about 10-12 feet. If you look real close you may be able to see a moose that was up on the hill in the background.

We packed in some dry wood and lunch, which consisted of smokies on a bun, pepperoni and some nuts, we built a fire and enjoyed the bit of sun that shone through the clouds and the mild temperatures.

You see, what a great day. How could you not be happy. Life is good on a Canadian winter day in the snow and cold. What a great day!

Oh by the way, stay tuned...we leave in 5 days for one month in Thailand and one month in Vietnam. Hah the warmth!!! :)
