There is lots going on.

Good afternoon. I have a moment to do some blogging.
My last and too long ago post mentioned that I was not looking forward to winter. Well I am pleased to post that we still don't have snow on the ground and it really hasn't been too bad. Most days have been sunny and the temperature above freezing. I can get used to this. Although there isn't lovely flowers blooming or even grass growing. SO I guess the ground could be covered in snow.
We had a wicked wind storm the other night. I had a big chunk of my fence blow over and I can now see out to the alley. Luckily Moxie the dog doesn't run off and look for ways to escape the yard. She does her business rather quickly these days because of the cool weather. I did get the fence stood back up and now is held up by some string. Doesn't look great but will have to get me by until I can get someone to fix it for me. Winter is not a good time for doing fence work, the ground gets pretty frozen hard.
So my son is heading back home for awhile. He blew out his knee and has to come back home to Canada to have it fixed. He is happy for the break and can't wait to cross the border to have some Tim Horton's coffee. I saw an ad on TV the other night for the Swiss Chalet "Festive Special" and that too will be on our "To Do" list. The things you miss when you are away??!! I am looking forward to having him around for awhile. He is hoping it doesn't take the year ,that we have been warned about, to get his knee looked at, MRI, and what ever surgery might be needed. And then there will be rehab. So we pray for a miracle of a quick turn through the health card system. But for now I will enjoy having him here. He will arrive in the beginning of December. One of his friends is flying down and will drive back with him.
YEAH!
I am off to a staff meeting at work...........

Well I guess I am not off to a good start on the blog. I am too busy enjoying the last bit of beautiful weather and my yard. I have enjoyed reading a book on the deck in the warmth of the sunshine. The warm deck chair will sadly be replaced by cold snow and the bleak landscape of the yard with no flowers and leaves. :( As you can tell I am NOT looking forward to winter as of yet. It comes too quickly up in this north.

I spent some time on the computer today. I was putting pictures onto the computer that had been sitting around for too long. It was so good to look back at them. It also made me miss my son even more (if that is possible.) For that reason alone Christmas time can't come soon enough. I will finally get to see him. He lives too far away from his Mom!!

Speaking of Mom..............my parents may be visiting next week. I sure hope they can make the trip up. It will be good for them to get away and good for me to have them here. I hope my Mom's appointment went really great today at the pain clinic.

Good afternoon!

This is me...........I think that I will begin blogging. I bought a new digital camera today and I have to learn how to use that as well. The long weekend will be for learning.
