Movie buddy

Jude and I just got home from our first movie - The Hobbit. It was good, although we commented that we should read the book again to figure what exactly was going on.

The holidays are over, I guess. It will really feel like that when the decorations are down. I would rather have the tree up for a while after Christmas than for weeks before. Will probably take it down on Saturday. We had a good holiday. People were coming and going for the week. Grace did not come until Christmas morning and she still had to get us all up. Tim and Courtney were in and out. Kane went to his dad's this year so he wasn't around till the 27th. But we had Grady to play with. Dallyn was here for a couple of days as well. 

On Saturday Geoff and I went to visit some friends on an acreage who just finished building a sauna. That was fun. There is nothing like walking across a yard on a cold winter night wearing your bathing suit and Sorels. I couldn't bring myself to jump in the snow when the sauna got too hot but found throwing snow all over was quite refreshing.

Jude is doing quite well at unpacking. I'm sure she will be glad when we get the kitchen done so she can really settle in. We needed to replace the bathtub upstairs because the finish wore off the old one and I couldn't get it clean. So that involved new tile. We access the plumbing through Jude's bathroom so had to get the upstairs bathroom done before finishing the ceiling in hers. These things always take a lot more time than you estimate, but it is almost done now. We are hoping to really have everything done before she gets back from the UK.

The past couple of weeks of work have been nice - work a day or two, get one or two days off, work a couple more. I hope working five days in a row isn't too much of a shock.
