The end of another weekend

and what a good weekend it was. Laura got here on Friday, we went downtown and ate and did a little shopping, I bought a new coat and Laura a new top, and both of us a some Christmas Gifts. I had a call from Geoff, to let us know that they were not coming until Saturday morning, because of the weather and roads. Which relieved my mind, I was worrying a bit about the roads, and driving in the dark from Rocky. Saturday moring we got up and trekked over to the store to pick up stuff for supper and centres, came home, made the centres. Theresa and Geoff got here and we had some lunch, Geoff left to shop and Allison came over and we dipped for about 3 hours. It was really great to have more than just Theresa and I doing the dipping. Theresa and I went over to Southgate Mall, I ad to pick up some pictures and she just came along for the trip. We took the train and bus, and got there quite quickly, but coming home was not so quick. We waited 45 minutes for the but to the South Campus, and nothing appeared, finally we took the number 9 downtown, and transferred to the train there. After supper, we all boarded the train again to get to Schmoozy. That was fun too, we supported the arts, increased the bids on some of the items, and watched the master schmoozer (Allison) in action.

Today we had a bit of a late start, and after brunch, T&G left to shopping, and I stayed home until it was time to go to the Jube and see Stuart Mclean. What a great show, I am so happy I went. The last Amazing Race for the season was tonight, and Grace and Sam were both here for supper. they did dishes, we visited and they both just left to "study".

Stuart Maclean totally put me in the Christmas mood. Grace said she saw the Alexanders there; we went looking for them aftr while we were waiting for the parkade to clear but did not find them. Bought some Cds though. Trip home was fine, the roads were clear. Am happy with all the shopping we did. It was a great weekend all around. Now I say Bring Christmas On!

We were looking for you at intermission. We were on the main floor so looked aroung that area sorry we missed you-- we should have made arrangements with Grace where to meet at intermission. The show was great even if Madeline and Matt Anderson both stole a little of the show. Vinyl Cafe is back in March in Ft. Sask.
You're right it does kick start the holiday feeling- which is easier now that we have snow. (and COLD -29 this am).
