Well, winter is defiantly upon us now. Last Tuesday was the Gaggle Christmas Party, today it was the Old FARTS Christmas Party, Friday there are two Christmas parties, Lime Day and the Hash Posh Nosh. Add all of that up and the fact that it is snowing to beat the band and you have to say it is winter.
Today’s Old FARTS party, unlike the Gaggle, was a bring your spouse along so the numbers were fairly much the same of about 65 at each of the events. Another difference was the price, today’s was $15 each whereas the other was $25, although that difference may have been because the Gaggle was ‘professionally’ cater while today’s was the usual cook with 2 servers and the tip was not included. In both cases the food was very good. Today’s menu turkey, dressing, tourtiere, ham, mashed potatoes, carrots, salad, and cake for dessert.
I didn’t shovel the drive before we left for the lunch because I didn’t think there was not enough time. So when we got back just parked on the street while I did the shovelling to the end of the drive and then blew it onto the lawn. Awhile later Wendy took a look out the window and saw that I hadn’t put the car in the garage so out I went to do that. On the way out the neighbours were shovelling our drive! Why? you may ask? Because the kids wanted a snow hill to slide down. It just so happened that there was more than enough snow to shovel and blow again so that is what I did - or should say we did. Pushed the snow to the end of the drive and then got out the snow blower and shifted the snow over to a hill that the kids were building. So here it is after supper and the snow is still coming down so I know what I will be doing before we go out tomorrow.
I am still looking at cruises and wondering what else to post on here. Old memories?
