Monte is heading off to Kelowna today to see a friend. He comes home tomorrow. I truly hope the roads remain safe and not snowy and icy. Those high passes can get bad. And April is two hours into a seven hour flight with Myles to Cancun. She is so excited...and nervous. She was saying that this is her very first 'trip' without her parents tagging along. In other words her first adult trip!!
The party was awesome to say the least! The food was delicious and very varied! And all the people..I am just not used to partying anymore. Spod was definitely not the party type, although we did have some big do's at home. But what a treat to go to someone else's house. They have had to clean it, cook, get everything ready, smooze smooze smooze, then clean clean clean. Don't get me wrong...I love throwing do's but such a treat to let someone else do all the planning and doing. At the end of the day, my back didn't hurt and I wasn't dog tired!!
Saturday night Kathy and I went to the Fox and Hounds, ate dinner and got onto that oh so happy loud bus. Saturday night's game was the teddy bear toss. When our team scored their first goal, thousands of teddies got tossed onto the ice. It was soooo much fun and Kathy, in her work dealing with troubled children told me how grateful they were when fifty to a hundred teddies would show up at their work for them to use. What a fun fun fun night it was!!!
Today I got a lot of little silly time consuming jobs done around the house. One thing I forgot to do was wash out the old fridge for Kathy and Kerry. They are coming tomorrow to pick it up. I shall get up early tomorrow morning and get it done. Wed., Thurs, and Friday I am dedicating to shopping. I have a lot of shopping to get to. I need to fill about 6 purses with womanly things, we now have a list of families that need things and I still have to finish my own xmas shopping. Soon its going to be wrapping. Again I mention, and probably will til the end of my life, I miss my Spod. He would sit in his chair, watching some show at a hundred decibels, and slowly wrap everything. When I think of wrapping, my back immediately starts to hurt. I am going to set up a wrapping station in the middle bedroom. I don't think its being used this year. (Shannon? hint hint)
Monte came home from Kelowna all happy. He loves it there. He stopped in Falkland at my insistence to partake of a burger dinner at the pub there. They are truly the best burgers ever and I don't even like burgers anymore! He got home and filled me in on the deets of his trip and then we hopped into his van and went up to Chapters for coffee and a little shopping. I haven't heard from April yet, maybe won't. I know she took her phone but she won't be using it. Maybe she is putting things on facebook and I just don't know it now that I am not on there anymore.
Gotta bounce...its getting late and I gotta hit the ground running tomorrow. I need to organize my shopping so far. Need to get more stuff for Fenton and Elise's stocking. I had a long chat with Fenton this past week end about Santa. Its just such a magical time for the kids when they still believe in Santa. There will be no other time in their lives when there is something this magical that they believe. Fenton is 8 and he still believes. It was so funny listening to him figure out the physics of Santa and his sleigh being airborn and what Santa does when there is a fire in the fireplaces. His eyes were lit up like no other subject could cause. I love it. TTYL (pardon the quality..iphone6 plus cameras suck)
