January 8 and 9

January 8 - One of our dogs, Nicky, who is a White

German Shepherd and is about 12 years old, loves to sit out in the snow.  Here he is in our back yard.

January 9 - There was a tribute to the armed forces troops at our

 junior hockey game last night. Lighting was tricky but this is the best picture I got. There was a pipe band, troops and their families there and cadets carried out a big Canadian flag.  Spectators were asked to wear red.
