Icy Start to the Day

I went out first thing this morning, it was cold and icy, but another beautiful colourful sunrise at Bremner Bay.  After breakfast went to SeniorNet where we learned about the positives of being on Facebook, then a talk about where technology is heading to today.  There was also a 3D printer there, which was printing a house, about 6 inches long by 2 1/2 inches wide.

After lunch, because I still had 6,000 steps to do, headed to the lake and walked around town, stopping at the Farmers Market to buy my dinner for tonight.  Planning to go to the Snow Farm in the morning, should be a good day in the mountains.
