Last Friday we took a long, pleasant walk to the Gulf.  They actually have some beaches there and a little resort with a couple of restaurants and a water slide.  Of course they are not open now.  Then yesterday it started snowing AGAIN!  We had to wear our boots AGAIN!  We got between 5 and 6 inches of new snow.  At least the snow is melting this afternoon on the sidewalks.  They are slushy.  It will probably turn to ice tonight, however.  This morning as we were walking from the bus station to the chapel, I had my hood up over my head as it was snowing and blowing.  I held on to Dick's arm and let him lead me.  I was just concentrating on putting one foot ahead of another until we could finally get to the church.  I thought about the pioneers.  Here I just had a few blocks to walk, they had to walk forever it must have seemed to them.

On our way to the bus station from the chapel, we were stopped by a newspaper reporter who wanted to ask us what we thought about the weather.  Then she took some pictures of us.  They are supposed to appear in the Skellefteå newspaper tomorrow.  We'll have to try and get a copy of the paper.

Recognize this couple?
