Re: the fat lady refused to sing

Hi neighbor -
    After reading your letter It just dawned on me that perhaps all the
natural ice and snow is why my daughter and I could find no ice in Penticton
for her coke and my iced tea (oops - my luke warm tea).  We loved our trip
north of the border and wish I lived closer to repeat the trip - with a
cooler box of ice cubes this time.  The earrings I get the most compliments
on are three very simple sterling silver loops with the maple leaf in the
center.  If the world could learn to live together as our countries have we
would have no problems and elections would not be so crucial to our
survival.
