Thanks Clayton!

Clayton decided my car did not have enough snow on it!

Late afternoon sky

Wednesday afternoon sky.

After the flooded basement on Sunday morning (read: Poisiden Adventure) we have been running heaters and dehumidifiers non stop. The carpet has been pulled out, and the insurance and Restoration companies are on the case. It snowed as you can see from yesterdays post and the above. Temperatures dropped to -8 last night and are to remain cold for the next few days at least. We will be attempting to clean out any blockages in the drain water system around the house over the weekend hopefully.

Man oh man, what a start to the new year

Welcome to 2007

Going to bed at 11 pm does not quite have the same effect as staying up till the "ball drops".
Getting up at 1:45 am to pick Clayton up after his party gave a bit of the "New Year's Eve" feeling though.
The week brought back the routine into the household (except for Clayton who goes back to school on the 8th).
We wish you the Lord's Blessings on 2007.

Christmas Eve

Clayton's neck warmer.

We met Larry and Anne Marie E from Barrie last night at the Candlelight service. Their daughter lives here in Victoria. When I was 10, my Dad and I were in a motorcycle accident and spent 3 months in hospital. Larry was in high school at the time and he came every lunch break to visit me and bring me a bag of chips. I have never forgotten.

Christmas Tree Kitty

You have to put the delicate and breakable ornaments up REALLY high for Karma. Even then she manages to get to them.

Wind and Rain

Water, water everywhere. If it is not trying to get into the basement, it is pooling up in the Firepot patio.

Last night's wind upended the Camellia and the Pyracantha.

That's not supposed to be there!!
