Driving to grandma's house in St Kitts for X'mas we found fresh snow lining the grape vines and tree branches; beautiful. Certainly much nicer than the slog through the salt water and slush on the Toronto side. We were so glad we got off the QEW and took the 8.

rand()m quote

If a person has ugly thoughts, it begins to show on the face. And when that person has ugly thoughts every day, every week, every year, the face gets uglier and uglier until you can hardly bear to look at it. A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts it will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.

—Roald Dahl
