did you take any photos, Gins??? :-D :-D :-D

I had a tussle with the tree, all 8 foot of it.

Almost strangled me sen with the lights then the baubles were flying at me left right and centre

Each branch is attached separately so it was a mission.......then I had to get the darn thing back in the box

It's done
:-D

Mornin~~~~~~~

I'm not even dressed yet........just finish my cuppa and go and get showered, then set about the tree

Our tree is coming down tomorrow.......I'm doing it as JB has to go into work to sort some funding bid

Hope you get the family 'stuff' sorted soon Sylys

((((HUGS)))) to SiL & all you too

House back to normal Christmas tree and decorations all boxed up for another year :-)

Dea sorry I can't help you with your computer problem but you have done really well so far <3

Sylvia thinking of you and OH and all the family <3

Sounds good Sylvs and very hard for him !

As long as she can stay peaceful and sleepy I suppose that is all we can hope to ask for when our time comes !!!

Love to you all,

Dea xxx

Hi Dea

he seems to be doing well ............. we're communicating by email at the moment, so I can't tell from the "tone of his voice" as you can on the phone.

He's sorting out old family photos, trying to put names to faces, and has managed to read notes made by his mother re family silver and other heirlooms.

All as asked for by his sister.


She's apparently very peaceful, sleeps a lot, but pretty lucid when awake ............. and is still ordering people around as she did when healthy :-)


It's snowy and day highs are around -5C ................ all pretty normal for up there.

How is OH doing Sylvs ???

Dea xxx

Hi all
xxx

the sun is trying to shine here ........... but it was a lovely sunrise. It was about -1C overnight, and will get to about 5C today


Daughter had over 40cm of snow from Thursday evening to Friday evening, PLUS very cold temperatures for them ...... -10c, which felt more like -27C due to the wind.

She got out her snow shoes, snow shoed about 1 km down the hill to the ferry terminal, across on the ferry, then snow shoed on the flat about another kilometre to her office.

About 4 of them made it in ............... she was hoping for a very quiet day to catch up after the Christmas break. Unfortunately, their clients also made it in, so they had a busy day!

The Senior Partner drove them all home at 3 pm.

That's still a whole lot warmer than in Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec!


Today they are digging out ................. on another very cold day. Monday is forecast to be +10C and raining!
