SNOW !!

It's been 'way too long since I last posted on my blog.  Life seems to have been in the fast lane for the past three months and I never got caught up with myself - still haven't but the beautiful soft snowflakes falling on my window ledge this morning convinced me to stop and write to you about how beautiful Brussels is when it's snowing.

The snow piled up quickly on the streets because there wasn't any snow removal equipment to carry it away.  What fun to put my boots on and walk to and from church today in the snow, licking the snowflakes with delight as they landed on my face!  And no white marks on my boots because there's no salt on the streets!  A lot less traffic too and few pedestrians. 

 

 

 

At church, some friends smiled at me and said: "It's Canada outside this morning, isn't it, Nancy?" :)  

It's been a good day.

I'll do some catching up in subsequent posts but today I just want to say again - as I wrote to you in my Christmas letter - that I'm delighted to be staying here another year.  God just made it so obvious to me through various means.  I can continue to be part of St. Andrew's and carry on with the activities there that I'm involved in.  I can continue to be a help to Andrew.

And ... I can carry on with my Flemish lessons and my discovery of this lovely city and its surroundings!  I'll drink it all in for one more year.

For the moment, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!!!
