I am NOT dreaming of a white Christmas... It's a nightmare...

Leaving this

For that!

 

My guilty conscience has been talking to me a lot. It kept reminding me that I didn’t post any thing for a while. It is right but I was on “vacation”. Did you know that retiree take vacation from time to time? Ok it’s a poor excuse, but it’s the only one I have. I didn’t post and I was not reading my favourite blogs either… so I’m really late, I’ll try to do some catching up.

I will spare you all the last 4 weeks of happening and just fast forward to last week (Isn’t it marvellous the technology!).

We left Naples on Thursday Dec 13^th. We drove to Tampa where we spend the night and store the trailer. Dec 14^th we flew back to Ottawa… We were wearing, running shoe, a light coat and a sun tan. We didn’t need our sun glasses :( After our escapade in Ottawa we are going back to Tampa for 2 months.

We are home for the next 3 weeks to spend time with our daughters. The oldest will be arriving tomorrow, unless the Mayans were right! She will be with us for a week.

Monday, I went to the place I used to call w-o-r-k. I was going for breakfast; it is cheap, and as retiree, I am always looking for a cheap meal. Food was a good excuse but the true… I want to see how much the people at work miss me hahahaha –Just a joke! I was glad to see many and only few were not available. I even score some cookies from one of them (probably she was feeling bad for me… I’ll encourage that feeling if goodies is what end up being offer :) )

Yesterday we went back to our trailer in Val-des-Bois. We enjoyed a nice warm fire. There was not much snow on the ground, but the lake was frozen. I didn’t try to walk over it, just didn’t want to end up swimming in it and becoming one of the sad statistic.



There was no one else!!


Today, the sky opened and let fall upon us over a foot and a half of snow… if anyone had any doubt about having a white Christmas, it is bury deep deep deep under it!

Arm and dangerous

But to tell you the true, I am joking, I love this, it doesn’t bother me at all. One of the advantage of the snow… there is no fire ants, nor no-see-hem LOL.   

I know it’s early to have resolution, but, mine will be to post every day (when feasible), even if it’s only a single paragraph!

Our cat getting in the Christmas mood!

Peace and love from the frozen North.
