Snowflakes, goodbyes and the Badlands

GrandMa's funeral was beautiful. I felt so blessed to be able to be there for Mum. To be able to say goodbye to my GrandMa. The burial was a couple hours drive from Kelowna where the actual funeral was. It was snowing really heavily in Salmon Arm where GrandMa was buried. We lit candles and sang hymns. It was really magical.
My baggage didn't arrive until a few days later so I got to go SHOPPING! That was fun!
I have been loving the snow, the cold and seeing how people live in this sort of weather. It's like a whole new world. The last two days I've gone skiing with Brent Ree up at Silverstar. I can't believe that it's been SO much fun!! The snow has been awesome! Tomorrow I'm going to Calgary to hang out with AliO for a couple days before heading back to London and then on to Rome for the weekend with Lachie! At Grandma's Funeral
