A very mild winter so far here in the Ottawa Valley. The snow has all melted and it looks like a green Christmas. We had a visit on Saturday evening from Chris, Jason, Alexander and Shelby who were on their way home from a hockey tournament in Barry's Bay. We had planned to have supper together but it turned out to be a busy evening at the cafe so Chris ended up being a waitress for part of the evening. Oh well, we'll try again some other time...this is a picture of Chris and Jason in their official role as part of Canada's military.
