Ken phones from Melbourne to tell us our weather news.
He was returning home from watching the children swim and going to the dentist. His denture is to tightly glued in so they will leave it until it gets loose. He has been swimming too.
The children get bused from school to go to the swimming pool. Holidays start on Dec. 20 and they can hardly wait.
The one tree branch was almost touching the ground and dad will cut it off in the morning. For now he just knocked the snow off. He drove me to my lunch meeting and then went shopping. He bought jackets for Haiti and Peanut and the socks and hats for the poor homeless people. He also bought lots of food so we will not go hungry if we get snowed in.
Not very good but they are a great group.
I did my little devotional reading but felt it lacked energy.
The house was beautifully decorated and helped us get in the mood for Christmas.
I am going to put a few Christmas quotes on.

Oh, Peanut will be very excited, she has never had a jacket before. She did slip on the ice on our walk last night. Still sidewalks not shoveled and now extra icy. I almost slipped and hurt my shoulder by throwing my arms around wildly trying to keep up right.
Randy is working extra hard taking all the shifts they offer to pay for our kitchen. It will be a nice treat for us to stay down town and be able to sleep in before the brunch on Sunday.

WOW, you sure have received a lot of snow for Vancouver. It looks very pretty. Be careful out there. If you need anything just call one of
We have received about 30 cms which is over a foot of snow, so far and it is still snowing. Lake effect snow now as the storm as moved on.
The lake is looking very wild with the strong north winds and the ice and slush are building up on the shores and pier now. The lake looks strange..moving more slowly now as the water has ice in it and there aren't white caps due to the heaviness, but the waves are huge. Mother nature is amazing to watch....
This must be a record for the latest the lake has frozen over. Usually it is frozen by the second week in November. It will be good when it does freeze, because it creates a lot of humidity in the air when it is open, which in turn makes for pain for Carl.
Isn't is hard to picture in your mind summer in Australia, when we have snow and winter weather here? I am glad Ken and his family are enjoying swimming...such a great pastime to do with your kids. Good memories and bonding.
You do very well with your writing and blog, Beth. I, too, make mistakes sometimes...we are all human! So don't be hard on yourself. I find as I get older I sometimes leave out a letter or a word when writing...just part of our age, I guess! Keep up the good work.
I wish you a good day today and stay away from that ice and snow.
Love, Nancy
