Lisa, that is so cool! Thank you! With your enthusiasm, I just might get outside in the snow again today. Well, at the moment it is around -7 (20F), but the sun is shining. It may warm up quite a bit by the time we can go out. We have to buy the paint and get a coat on the walls of the kitchen first. The prime coat is done, time for the real colour All that said, at the moment I'd love to just lounge around bed all day, but I know that I'll feel like blech if I do! So, thank you for your enthusiasm!!

So, first things first - order the MEC Gore Tex pants; get the paint on the wall; find an alternate combination of pants, other than what I wore the other day, so that hopefully the snow will not soak through in no time at all....

And, DebW, darn it, those are exactly the snowshoes we got. They told us they were easier to use....didn't mention the snowflip issue at all. They were on sale, so they are not returnable. I sure hope the gore tex pants eliminate the problem!!
I'll keep ya posted.

Hugs and butterflies,
