Glad my post helped you see your mom's efforts to maintain her health more clearly!
That must have been wonderful to be on the great slave lake!
We have a lake at the end of our road that the community use to all gather to go swimming in at the end of the day. Sadly it is starting to die for they put in an "improved" road and cut off the water inflow to the lake. Must keep the traffic flowing - never mind the water flow!
