THREE YEARS!!!

On facebook they pop up pics from your memories.  One popped up for Monte.  He was sick with food poisoning three years ago...at Doran Road house at Christmas.  Three years.  In the whole scheme of life, that is not all that long ago.

So I got to thinking of how much we have done and how much ground we have covered in this last three years.  We travelled to many countries.  We packed up a very overfull house and moved to the Island, only to pack up again and move to Kamloops.  I sold two houses and bought two houses.  I sold two vehicles and bought one.  I lost a beloved Spod.  I lost my beloved mother.  I spent time in Maui...lots of time.  I gained an amazing grand niece.  I put down a wonderful old german shepherd.  I emptied four fridges.  I filled four.  I am now hoping for an uneventful 2016.

Today one more thing happened.  My garage door broke.  It is hanging haphazardly down halfway shut.  And my jeep is inside.  No going anywhere for me, but I am not too sad about that.  I have a repair guy coming by later.  Jeez I hope he can fix it today.  So much out there will freeze if we don't get it shut.

Yesterday the whole crew went out to the place where we cut xmas trees.  They had a blast!!!  April and Myles used my jeep.  There is just soooo much snow right now.  Last night we went to Kathy's for leftovers and games.  They are such good people.  I just love having them live near.  This week I am going to have them up for dinner.  And maybe more goofy games..the kind where we die laughing!!!

Right now April and Myles are up at Costco doing my shopping.  I am so spoiled!  Monte shovelled the driveway.  I am going to make a big batch of butter tarts and I am going to make mac and cheese and greek salad for supper.

Oh jeez...I have my music on and a song just came on that is making me cry.    It was the last song Bill and I danced to.  Such an old schoolie waltz.  I remember I played it for him and we danced to it outside my purple room door...the whole thing.  That was just before he went into the hospital.  I don't think I will ever get used to things just popping up and zinging me.  I miss him.  Especially music...its so so powerful.

Well, Kevin and Tandy are due to arrive at any moment.  They were at Monte Lake an hour ago so they should be driving up shortly. Monte is cutting his hair off today.  He has been toying with the idea for a while now.  But Uncle Kerry talked with him about his hair the other day and I think that had an influence.  Slowly his persona is changing...growing up.  He found a google image he likes, phoned and made the appointment and its happening at 4:30!  I will post a pic tomorrow!
I am now going to hop out to that kitchen and get to work!  TTYL
