Sundays in Whale Cove

This was our first Sunday in our new home!  We went for a walk down to the harbour and there was a great view of Hudson Bay!  It was a windy Day.  The Weather App told us that with the wind chill it was -42 celcius!  Kids were tobogganing without covered faces.  Everyone who goes by waves and says hello!
 
We discovered that the COOP which is the one store in town is not open on Sundays, so we decided to head back after we stopped at the Bay.

Then we had a call from the DEA secretary. She is the District Educational Authority secretary.  Sort of like a local set of Trustees.  Her daughter works for CALM Air and had let her mother know that our shipped goods had arrived.  So 
Agatha, the secretary called the local bus driver and asked him to fire up the bus and head to the airport to pick up our stuff.  We have no vehicle and the airport is about 7 km away.  The other option we would have had was to check what the local RCMP was up to because they are happy to help with airport pick ups a well.  
So here we sit waiting for the remainder of our household goods.  Jashua will get here when he gets here.  No one rushes in this type of weather.  

As we wait watching out the front door ,the sun is starting to set.  3:30 pm.  It is hard to explain how beautiful this barren land is..
