I promised Iain I would put something on my blog, and include a pic of me, at his request (really. not my idea. don't like pics of me.). It has been hard to find the time for it, even now that we are post-Christmas-rush, but if one never takes time, how can one ever have time...So, for your perusal, here are a few pics. The one up top is our tree, which was just SO PRETTY I had to show you all. The next is (a bit goofy one of) me with my mom and sister Dodie, in front of one of her trees. She and Myles had three of them, two indoors and one outside.
We had a great time this year; dinner was shortly after the above pic was taken. A delicious (locally grown) turkey and lots of side dishes. I personally made the requisite "green jelly salad" which only we three pictured above really love. Jeff was brave enough to try it, and declared "I like it!" to the surprise of many; he thereby became an even more favourite family friend.
Iain and I travelled to Ottawa in the evening and spent a couple of days with Sheila, Kyle, Craig, and Karen. Had lots of fun.
Had a second Christmas dinner on the 29th at Janet & Jayme's place, and got to see Les, Janice, and Maddie. Another great meal and fun evening!
To those we didn't get to see over the holidays - you know who you are! - we missed you, and look forward to seeing you someday soon.
These last two pictures are taken New Year's Eve, as we headed for Carl and Irene's cottage at the lake. The first is on the highway, probably the Quadeville road.
This one is (I think) taken along the road that leads to the lakes. Photographs never capture enough. The laden trees were so beautiful that I had to try, though.
More about our new years visit to come...
