It's only about 5C below this afternoon, but I am still partial to this "thermal" setting in the photo booth. It warms everything up, doesn't it?

Emil and I are off cross-country driving for an afternoon chinwag with faithful reader (and longtime family friend) Joanne; poor little Everett must stay home and work on his Grade 10 English.

News that has me smiling today is that a friend is expecting her first baby in July. Every time I think of it I want to get up and do a happy dance for her and her hubby.
