Merry Christmas

Dec 25th

OMGG gift opening at Pat's!   Astro was a charm and overly thrilled with his Christmas orange!  I was spoiled too!  🎄

Sylvia's gift had me crying!  Chickadees!!!

Thank you Sylvia!

Sylvia's painting for Byran from Pat.

Pat n Randy's village!

Well just about didn't make Christmas supper at Pat n Randy's as my car wouldn't start again. I didn't want to get a boost and then find out it wouldn't start again after supper to go home. So my neighbours gave me a ride to Sylvia's and I drove us over in her car! Then Byran and Pat gave me a ride home after I dropped off Sylvia at home. A lovely evening by all!!! 🥰

Hmmmm not sure what the issue is this time. So tomorrow I'm gonna get it boosted, drive around to charge it up and then get CAA to check the battery and replace it if that's the issue. If it's not then I'll have to park it till my garage opens in the New Year (bad timing) and borrow my sister’s car for a few days to get by! Hope I don't have to do that! 🙏

More pictures from the Canad Inns Winter Wonderland and Christmas Day evenings from Pat and Amanda! Thank you! 😘

It was COLD that evening.

Byran, Randy and Pat!

I was so shocked, pleased and ended up crying in JOY!!!

Amanda took this one!  Astro was enjoying helping Grandma play!  And he was so tired!

Well it's home and front and centre displayed,at least for now! I was shocked, pleased and overwhelmed of her gift and brought to tears!  I just LOVE chickadees!!!!!

🤔 Hmmmm didn't notice yesterday but today it's definitely noticeable! See that pointy pileup has kinda shifted and become an overhanging rounded hillside! It's well over the maybe 8" wide ledge and soon to overbalance itself tumbling to the ground below! I always wonder 'will you be gone' when opening the curtains in the morning and sometimes it happens during the daytime, suddenly more light inside!

Dec 22nd last accumulated snowfall.

Today, it's sunken some.

It's even widening at the bottom, melting?

Very evident in this picture.

UPDATE: See how far it's over the ledge?

WOW!!! Behran and Ry here at the apartment checked and I've lights, boosted me with something like machine and said battery is weak. So I called CAA and 33 minutes someone should arrive wit a new battery to install! I don't use them often but when I do really appreciate their service! 🤗

NOPE, NADA, ZIPPO, not good! CAA was here in 15 minutes and connected battery tester and then another tester under the dash and said battery is good, alternator is gone. Even said not to drive it to the garage, call them back and get a tow there once it's opened. 😪 See they shut down Christmas through to January 3rd and unless travelling i wont go back to Cdn Tire again! I've sent an email but will also call the 3rd and see when I can get in!

Okay great news for me! I was going to call Uber for a ride but Sylvia wasn't keen on that. So my sister is lending me her car for the few days I'll be away, so IF I have to go out (which I'm not planning to) I wouldn't be without wheels! Lovely sister!!! 💖 So I'm packed up mostly and shortly busing it to her place for it!

Thank you Sandra for posting.  I saw a couple items I will check out!

Ohhhh my snow has piled up even higher. Wonder if more will accumulate or if it will topple off and start again? These windows are creating a pointed ridge compared to the older windows that had a more wider shape.

Creeping closer to the ornaments at the halfway point! 

Kinda on an angle but still lower than today's. 

Last year's pile up!  See the poly batting on the right between panes?

Thank you Angie! It's just beautiful!!! 🥰

Okay! Started off with a good phone chat with my dietician before braving the outdoors! Again thank you Adele for sprucing me up and adding some sparkle to my being! I love leaving your place feeling awesome!!! Then a shopping return and Pizza Hut pick up before checking out this WOW!!! shop and finding something for Christmas too! Lovely lady running the shop too!

Awesome!!!!

YEAH I've finished off my year end appointments today! Hopefully that's it for a couple of weeks at least! It's no fun heading out when the weather is nasty! But I did pick up a block heater cord for my baby so hope this one won't stiffen up like the one I was using since I LOST or misplaced my good one somehow over the summer. Okay I'm staying home till Christmas dinner out!!! 🤗 🎄 ☃️

Dang it! I was shutting down my laptop after sending my Christmas email out to friends n family and made Astro's card when updates flashed on and then flashed off again! Yep the crappy error loop started and even with Tom's help by email n phone didn't help. So it'll be dropped off, while on my way to Christmas dinner not far, at Tom's tomorrow for his magic touch again after the holidays! Dang updates!!!!!

So today I'm quilting my spiral table topper! Taking a break for my salad, herring in tomato sauce and crackers with a glass of wine! Pictures to follow!

Relaxing with window lights on and alternating watching movies and hockey while having my supper! I just realized that the sunshine has kinda shrunken this intimidating snow ridge out my window. Maybe it'll fall off sooner than later?

Ohhhh and I finished quilting my own spiral table topper that Sylvia helped planning the design on this and the smaller one gifted to Edna.

WOW we made it for regional coverage!!!

There I've caught up with my Christmas gifts! Now to finish off the last few to be dropped off!

Dec 20th

YEAH!!!! My Tommy is so handy and very knowledgeable or will Google for more help for technology issues! He stopped by just now while on family errands nearby and took maybe 15 minutes and had my laptop up and running again. Seems there was an update that shut my baby down (similar to his earlier) and he knew the steps to restart it! Once going he checked the updates and one had done just that but now resumed and finished successfully! 💞 to Tom!!!!

Well all my presents are delivered! Then picked up Edna and we went to Fabricland for treats, then KFC and back to her place to eat and wine visit!

I'm home, fiddled with a few decorations and now relaxing with feet up!

These are mostly new decorations this year. 

Hmmmm I'm running out of room on my hanger!

On the left there is a wooden circle with the shape of the li'l red truck.

I forgot my tatted tree corner!

My tatted tree and other items!

My Angels in Heaven too!  🥰

Thank you very much to Byran for treating Pat, Sylvia and I to an evening of Christmas lights viewing! Beautiful displays but sorry my pictures were pretty bad and majority were blurry. It's amazing some of the displays that were erected either in Lindenwoods area or at the RRX Winter Wonderland!

Lindenwoods displays. 

RRX drive through.

Santa roller coaster.

Reminds Sylvia and I of sparse one sided trees in Churchill. 

I got out and had a young man take my picture.
