Weather has been different so far this year. With breezy, cold, rainy and nice days all mixed up together. However, even on our coldest day, we don�t compare to Lloydminister, Alberta. Gordan and Penny headed south for a holiday when the weather in Alberta was in single digits. They loved the state of Georgia from the beauty of the landscape to the attractions, but most importantly the people. Everywhere they stopped the people they ran into were wonderful & helpful.
