5 more shopping days till the big day and I`m still drawing a lot of blanks with presents. While cash is welcome it does seem a bit impersonal.
Our first real day of winter is starting here as well, no snow but it will a lot colder in time for Christmas.
Hopefully that Fed Ex guy will get the boot as a Christmas bonus Ian.
It sounds like you keep busy no matter the weather Perry.

We've gotten less than 3" of snow so far but there's more coming tonight and tomorrow and its getting cold for the next 36 hours.

Right now I'm catching up on all sorts of oddball jobs that I put off until the weather turned bad. During housebound days I need to keep busy or I go stir crazy Morris, this retirement came at least 10 years to soon.

Happy Hump Day Mornin'all. Today is the 1st real cold day of winter, -20C. They said feels like -28C. There is no wind to speak of, so it's not too bad. I have a dentist appointment tonight, and that's all I have before Christmas. Have a great day guy's.

It`s getting a lot colder here too, -30° on Christmas evening.
Retirement came too early for me too Perry, at least the first retirement did and now I`m thinking about the second one.
Good luck at the dentist Grant, hopefully it`s a painless one.
Good day John, are you almost ready for Christmas?

Good afternoon snowbirds.

I'm doing what I can to work around this retirement Morris, winter is the hardest part as I need to stay active to stay healthy. I've found that by improving my environment makes it easier to stay on program to make myself a real retirement.

Found out last night that Candace passed about 3 weeks ago as the cancer had spread through out her, from diagnosis to passing was under 5 months.

To all those who enjoy this winter wonder land,




keep it to yourselves, I've got better things to do than shovel snow, still have the back yard to do and its worse than the front.

A snowbird is a person that goes south to warmer climates Perry, that would be my wife...but not me.
Sorry to hear about Candace passing away, this is sad news.
I enjoy a winter wonder land, as long as it`s not cold with a bunch of snow. In other words winter isn`t my thing.
Anymore snow coming your way in time for Christmas John? My wife looks after most of the gifts and prepares the meals but it`s up to me to trying keeping all that extra weight off.

Most of our snow is gone John, just ice patches left behind. Now it`ll be real cold in time for the Christmas Holidays.
Why are pets so easy to buy for at Christmas and people so much harder?

Yes they do, love is enough to get their tails wagging. Treats are a bonus to them.
