Off to Churchill, Manitoba Canada
Well, this is it! Our photographic endeavor to the top of Canada. Hudson Bay! We are very hopeful that we will get to see the Polar Bears. How can so cute and cuddly creatures be so dangerous and carnivores too boot? Well, at least they make some very good photography subjects. Look here next week for some, we hope will be amazing adventures and a new recipe! Until then hugs to all.

The Rabbit hole to jump into was at the beginning of your stay
The Queen of Hearts playing cards, Ellen & Sal ushering the way
No Husbands
No children
No cooking to do.
Old friends with free hugs, lines deep
New friends with free hugs by the heap
Do you have a trade I can keep?
Beautifully crafted,
outrageously conceived,

So this is the end of my “cute” little ditty
I hope you have smiled, and enjoyed every bitty
