What a surprise to attend my first Meadowood Quilters Christmas potluck. WOW, talk about an awesome turnout plus the variety of appetizers, salads, meats, starches and desserts too!!! I was very good and sampled small amounts of only what I wanted and somehow totally missed the perogies!!! Thank goodness Dianne brought me one to enjoy! It was nice to sit with Dianne U and also see Bruce too. They both told me that Dr Jeremy Levi, my cataract surgeon, is very good!

Good morning! Hmmm! I thought I had checked the weather app to see if my baby needs plugging in, guess I didn't so quickly ran out and did so. Hopefully a couple hours will help before venturing out!!! Also look at the snowfall on my ledge this morning, yesterday it was just at the window frame.
OHHHH them sun dogs were so impressive even if the weather wasn't!!! So first lunch with Sylvia at the Southdale Village Family Restaurant, yummy shrimp, fries and garlic mushrooms, last minute grocery shopping and then an hour of puzzle therapy together!
On my way across the city to take Edna grocery shopping, she was going to bus it, I noticed my tire gauge light stay on. This happened the past two years now whenever it got COLD. So twice I stopped and walked around not spotting any low tires, plus no pulling to any side or any weird noises, so I continued. My garage had told me what to do but check in whenever.
I snuck out and got this picture and glad as the sun was sinking fast!
So picked up Edna and was I ever glad as she had two full bags, said she got other stuff since she had a ride. While she was busy I too did some shopping then waited in the warm car till she called for pick up.
I felt happy helping both of them today!

WOW what a day!!! I'm finished uploading the group's posts and now relaxing!
A lovely 30th Anniversary and Christmas potluck with friends of Assiniboine Circle Quilters!!! Food was quite abundant, delicious, varied and lots!!! Yummy! They kept me hopping with all the activities that as picture taker I was trying to catch! Some I missed being too slow getting into place. So here is a recap of our day!!!

OMGG I stayed home yesterday but ventured out today, stupid me!!! Thankfully 99.9% of drivers around me were actually driving for the conditions. Thank you!!! There was one sports car on Pembina behind me a few cars that switched into the right lane, going by fast on icy roads, quickly veered OVER TWO LANES into the left turning intersection. Thank GOD he hadn't hit anyone, vehicle or pedestrian, and I don't even know if he made it across the north bound three lanes safely. I was past that and looking forward. Each stop I scraped the ice/snow off the windows, lots didn't bother.
In that time I was about, I drove in rain, heavy fluffy snow, nothing, rain again and finished in wet snow before parking the car, thankful to be home without incident! We started the week with grass still showing to snowbanks! Typical Manitoba/Canada winter weather - unpredictable - with Christmas Day up to -5C - go figure!!!

Hmmmm seems I've forgotten to post yesterday!!!
It was a Christmas lunch with the girls at Poke Mono in Southdale shopping area, some shopping, then dropped the girls off before heading home to relax a bit!
Then over to Angela's for an awesome catchup on our lives and some Christmas martinis - I love her crantinis, even this weaker one!!!
When I got home last night there was a sign posted to move cars by 8am for parking lot cleaning! I hate early mornings!!! So at 10:30 - YIKES - I texted Sylvia to see if she was awake! Yes, so I arranged to meet her for breakfast at Sal's!
So after our early breakfast, I went over to work some puzzle magic as she had gotten stumped, before my 10:30 am appointment. Then a few more errands before heading home to relax some!
Finally after a long dry spell, Janice had Cindy and I over at her son's place (dog sitting while they vacationed) for a lovely visit! Lots of yummy finger food, some wine and finished off with homemade desserts and coffee! Lovely tree!!!
Now home to relax before another busy day tomorrow!
May you have a HEARTWARMING Christmas and a joyous New Year!!!
May your days be BRIGHT, and your heart LIGHT!!!
A warm and friendly wish from ME to YOU for a holiday season filled with HAPPINESS!!!

Merry Christmas, relaxing after a bit of scraping mush off the stairs before I could unload. Bubba and Dahli joined me briefly. Dahli went back to the couch but Bubba stayed with me! I'm enjoying my reheated McDs coffee and added a generous amount of Baileys. I think I'm mellowing some!!!
Ohhhhhh it's 7:30ish and I'm ready for sleep after that fresh air and exercise earlier!!! The dogs are snoozing and I'm trying to watch movies!!! It might be an early night!!!
Dec 25th - Merry Christmas!!!
I love Snowman and my coffee too!!!
Today the pugs are good and I was able to have Christmas supper at Randy and Pat's with Byran, Sylvia, Amanda, Justin and Astro! Lovely visit and HUGS alongwith a care packages to take home!!! AWESOME!!!
