winter snows have finally arrived to the niagara peninsular and it was a cruel awakening..i cannot blame the snow queen of idaho, because for the last few weeks she has been wearing her "mother of the year" crown..she has been at the side of her pretty daughter who is giving mr. and mrs. mac another grandchild...and so i really don't know WHO i can blame!
the snow has changed this[our very last flower of the year who had been doing just fine]...
to THIS!..just look at that brave little face peeking through the cold!.....not a pretty sight!
here is another victim..the little red car really enjoys the sun but winter has changed it ...
to THIS!!
and it has put bernie to work!
oh well such is life.. and so the little red car offered to take us away from all of this.. saying so long to the snow covered sunday school van..we are carried away to bettys.
and betty carries us away to niagara falls where we will be picking up rachel from work.
rachel is a manager of wendys and she treats us to a late supper..the chili really takes away the chill from our cold bodies!
betty and her beautiful daughter, rachel.
rachel and her lovely sister, amy.
ha!..and you know who these two characters are!
well here is ruby tuesday in the background
amy who knows about my ruby tuesday and who has seen our beloved teach decided to take this picture.just imagine.... in the chill of a new winter, here we are standing in front of the ruby tuesday restaurant in niagara falls!
look at the ferris wheel in the distance..it is lighting up the night sky.
as we walk, we get closer..
and closer...
we discover that rachel and amy have planned a surpise for her mom and her auntie and uncle...
they have decided to send us up into the sky in that huge wheel ...up above.. high above the ground ...a ride and a look-see of niagara falls!
we aren't afraid at all..after all doesn't betty have on her ruby red coat?!
for sure and she is a real pro at riding this ferris wheel..just a month ago, she and her family spent a few days in niagara falls, enjoying this ride!
ha!..bernie is trying hard not to show that he is scared..he looks as white as he did years ago when we took a ski lift, in calgary way high to the mountain top...of course there was a little matter of a thunder storm on our way up...but it's all right!..no chance of a thunder storm HERE!..maybe a snow blizzard but NOT a thunder storm!
oh the glittering lights below were so beautiful!
blues and reds and greens and yellows...
sparkling like precious jewels!
niagara falls is pretty busy at night..the roads are filled with cars and the sreets are crowded with people..old people,young people and even babies being wheeled about by young mom's and dad's!
we have one more look at the skylon tower and we are satisfied...snow or no snow...a ruby tuesday visit to niagara falls was not too bad!happy ruby tuesday everyone and thank you my best friend, felisol for your encouraging me to finally smarten up and put in a post!!...god bless you everyone...love terry

Dear Terry,
What a lovely amount of red in your white Christmas.
Thanks for taking me along to the spectacular Niagara Falls city.
Ferris wheel is great when I do not have to sit in one of those wiggly wagons.
I'm amazed that you found a Ruby Tuesday restaurant. Did you have a peek inside?
Some times I wonder what my dearest Canadian friend is up to.
By the way, I adore the jacket of Mr. Bernie. It looks so cosy and Canadian.
Give my best to Mom And Dad Golden, my prayerchild forever.
Hi Terry, now this is what I call fun in the snow.
My sis and family are snow bound too.
The Sider 's live somewhere near niagra in Wainfleet. John 'r birthday was on Dec 11th..
Oh poor Red Riding hood. She looks sooooooo cold.
Oh my that ferris wheel makes me dizzy. I am scared of them. You guys had fun.
Lovely pictures
glag to see, y'all having fun!!!!!!!!!! :)
i loved the pics ... and i'm glad that felisol got you to put one in ... i had wondered what you and Bernie were up too ... now i see that you really were UP to something! ha!
Not much snow here this year - nothing compared to last year.
"He is Lord of all"!
This is a wonderful post, Terry. Looks like you guys had a good time.
Hope your Christmas was Merry and Blessed over at your place (I know it was).

Thank you for not blaming me for your snow this year. I haven't had time to send you any .. and for that matter, we haven't had much to spare. Your pictures sure have pizazz and it looks like you had fun in Niagara. It's been 27 years since I was there! I hope you are staying warm. Give that Bernie fellow lots of hugs. Miss you much.

I'm getting back into the routine of blogging, stopped over and thought your post date said Jan. 12th, wondering why we didnt have any of the snow you had and then realized the post said dec 12th...wow I have been bad about reading blogs. Anyways, loved the post and all the fun you had. I would have been standing on the ground with Bernie..... You and Betty always so beautiful. Hugs to all. Thanks for visiting my new blog and for the encouragement to write/share again.
Where are you Miss Terry .. I've been praying for you sweetie. Miss you much.
Been missing you, too, Terry. I hope you are okay. You FB is quite quiet also. :)
..
Dear Terry .. I MISS YOU!
Hi Terry! Sending some Georgia love up to you there in Canada! Hope you'll blog again soon. Hugs!

Lovely post. It is so long ago since I've been to Niagara Falls. I remember it as pretty at night with lights lighting up the falls and the city. The winter looks lovely too!
