Williams Lake

Kris was here last weekend-we went up to Williams Lake together to see her dad. I don't know that it is a place that I would want to live. as Kris said time seems to move at a different pace there. 1 hour there equals 3 here. The space time continuum is not the same as here.
But it was good to go and support Kris. Her dad seems in great spirits and was very happy to spend time with her. I left on Tuesday at 330 am, to get here for an all day meeting at 9 am. There is no one on the road at that hour, other than truckers. And hallelujah that Tim Horton's was open as the housekeeper at the hotel did not replace the coffee in the room that morning.
Kris' dad has an enormous Newfoundland-160 pounds of fur, drool and love. Her dad has lost weight and also weighs 160 pounds.
Kris stayed up there until yesterday, then came here last evening, and left this am.
I have known her for over 30 years! She still talks on the phone as much as when we were young. I, however, do not.
Our house is decorated, except for the tree. We plan on getting it Sunday. Tonight we have a Christmas party to go to-the board I am on, and tomorrow we are hosting Richard's work Christmas party.

What are you wearing to the parties? Did Chris bring you along for support?

For Friday party-wore jean skirt and sweater. For Saturday wore black pants and black top.
Not terribly original.
Our party on saturday was better than lifestyle party. The executive director won all 3 raffle baskets. And kept all 3, poor form I think. Especially when she makes more than anyone else there. Left a somewhat bad taste in my mouth. And I will guess in many others.
One of Richard's co-workers has a 4 year old named Dante-he is ranbunctious and cute. Nick tolerated him very well-I am surprised how much Nick will put up with. Sebastian of course, was no where to be seen.

I fantasize about living somewhere where the hours are slower. Maybe not 3-1. But 2-1, yes.

these hours are not better when spent in a smokey house with very old wood panelling
