New Year

Hello, It has been a while since I posted. No apologies, life is busy!

I had a nice Christmas, went to my uncles for dinner... sooo gourmet, always is when auntie Pam is cooking. It was nice to spend a bit of time with family I don't see much, from a place that's name says it all Cold Lake. How does one come up with a name like that?... burr its COLD! by this Lake. Who would choose to live there? Certainly not me. Anyway, it was a wonderful time, wine, food and visiting, very relaxing compared to "the dark side".

New Years eve was spent at the Fox & Hounds.

It also was a great time in its own way. As I've said before, good food (I even had a real christmas pud), good beer, enjoyed with friends and family. My mom even surprised us by catching a ride with my brother. There was a hint that she was interested in coming but no confirmation ahead of time. I believe that everyone enjoyed themselves. Well, maybe mother-in-law wasn't so keen on... anything come to think of it. Possibly she liked the fish soup but that was all; she certainly didn't enjoy her desert.

Edie bought a new car, a 1987 Jag XJ-6. It is in fair shape but will require a ton of work to get it in "A-1" shape to qualify for collector plates in 2 years. It is a very luxurious car and I look forward to driving it sometime (if she will let me).

The good thing with this car is it could tow a small trailer (RV). Which would be a good thing if we are going back to Saskatoon for a visit. It means our dogs could come with us. They would be so sad to be left with a sitter.

Well, to sum up; mom-in-law has gone home, the stupid holiday season is over, and now back to reality... bills, bills, and leaky roof (more bills). At least we have our cars to enjoy, oh yeh, more bills.

Time gentlemen, Please!
