Freedom Convoy

The big news today doesn't seem to be big news on ANY of the usual networks. That is strange as the Freedom Convoy in Canada started days ago with big trucks and all kinds of other vehicles joining in from one end of Cananda to the other all heading to Ottawa the Canada's capital.

Below are some drone shots of the crowd as the trucks made their way into the city.

Watching drone videos hovering over the thousands of trucks as they make their way into the capital and the crowds cheering them in 30-40 below wind chills was something. The video below was taken today as they were arriving.
The world is watching Canada!  Everywhere we heard End the mandates, let Freedom RING!  
We had a quiet day here far from Canada. We awoke to another cold morning but by this afternoon our thermometer was reading 34 degrees which felt like a real heat spell. Mark spent the afternoon sharpening mower blades in his back shop. He has 4 mowers and did duplicates of each blade so ended up shopping 20 blades. He still has 5 or 6 to sharpen but that would take him all the way through the mowing season of 2022. He is using the brand All America Sharpener and is very impressed with it. This does a wonderful job sharpening mower blades. We don't usually indorse companies on this blog but Mark was so impressed he wants to let others know. If interested click HERE for a link to their website. I spent the afternoon with mom. Joan reported this morning that mom had a good night and today mom was without pain. We are so pleased the new drug is working.  Amy Koch came over so while she was here I ran to dollar General to pick up some craft items for tomorrow. Amy just came back from Florida where she spent 3 weeks working on her house there. She and Kathy were screening in their Lanai and were able to finish the job while there.  We got to see pictures and admire all the work they did. This evening we played Carbols at mom's. Karin and I were partners while Joan and Berlica were partners. That game is a lot of fun.  Mom was able to sit at the table and watch.
