Its raining outside today. Which makes for an unpleasant inside experience as there is no sun to warm up the rooms. Its 58 inside right now. The boiler usually comes on around 12am or 1am so I crank it as long as I can before I go to sleep so I have a few more hours of coldness to go.
The rain also prevents me and Gord from going on our walk. We walk the 2 miles loop around the town at least every other day. Technically, we can take today off since we walked yesterday, but I like to get out as much as possible.
I did drive to the post office today to buy stamps and drop of my Christmas Cards. I ordered them from Shutterfly in early December and they arrived yesterday. So, I cranked them all out and they are done. Hoorah! Of course, I left one behind, and the mailman had already been by, but fortunately Nikol had to run to the post office just now to drop off her stuff so she took my last little card with her.
Gord and I have had a nice mini-Christmas here in Harveyville. Um, rather, I mean we got to open up Christmas presents early since it seems silly to haul them up to Canada just to open them and then bring them back here again. We scored on our Amazon.com wish lists. Thanks Mom and Dad. And thanks Gord.
Here are some photos for fun.
The first is the water pump we pass on our walk. This water pump is the only thing left at the site of the original old Harveyville Grade School. The town tore it down and built the “new” one that is right next to the Highschool where Gord and I live. “New” is in quotes since its been closed for a few years and Ron & Nikol own it. Anyway, in the place of the old schoolhouse is a seed building and next to it is this old water pump. I think about Helen Keller everytime I walk by. “Water, Helen, W-A-T-E-R!”
And here is a photo of me and Gord after opening up Christmas presents. Gord is showing off his new CD compilation and I’m testing out my new tabletop tripod for my camera.
Hope everyone has a great holiday season!
