All the best wished to all.

I am all set. I was a little worried yesterday when my son called from
Montreal an hour after his train was supposed to have left and he didn't
know if he was going to make his connection in Toronto. It might have
been hard to get up to the bus station and catch a bus at the last
minute but he said he would call from there to let me know whet was
going on. He finally called after 6 to say they had held the train but
it would be about an hour late. Meanwhile, it was snowing and the roads
were getting bad. I had supper ready to go into the oven and headed off
to pick him up. The train finally arrived and we made it home just in
time to eat.

So it is good to have the kid home for a few days. I had to run out and
pick up some ground pork for tonight's tortiere and I dropped him off at
his friend's house so he can visit before we go to my brother's party
tonight. Meanwhile, my wife went out to pick up the fresh turkey.

It has warmed up here. The snow is melting fast but there is enough to
ensure it will still be white tomorrow.

We are good to go.
