Hardships often prepare ordinary people for an extraordinary destiny. – C.S. Lewis

Good Day!

I have nothing crafty, just wanted to check in.
I have been baking and doing the usual stuff.

The Santa Claus parade is later this afternoon, and I have a ticket to see The Blossom Valley Singers! 

In my last post I mentioned calling 'Rent a Hubby'.
He came; in pajama pants! 
I almost LOL-ed!
At my previous job, we had a welder named Roy.
We called him pajama pants Roy.
It always irked one of my bosses; that Roy didn't bother getting dressed before he showed up for work!

Anyhoo, my rent a hubby was ordering the snow stops! 
Yesterday, Barb & I spent over an hour digging under the back deck to find the septic so it could be sucked out. The company that came is called Biffy in a Jiffy, but that's another story!
I was hoping my 'Rent a Hubby' would call yesterday saying he had the snow stops, so I could get all that done in one day.
Pretty sure they're in; it's been a week.
He's turning out to be a regular husband! 
Those of you with amazing husbands can ignore that last remark!

There's never a dull moment here at the commune!

I also had my vehicle serviced, at a little shop about 2 blocks from here; oil change etc.
The look on his face & incredibility in his voice when he said to me: "your antifreeze is good for up to -50!"
I laughed, and said I probably needed that where I come from!
This is a sign hanging in his shop.
It made me laugh too!

It's going to be a busy week!
Bingo is every Monday.
My mom has to go forever as, at the turkey Bingo she won $125 in gift cards! We were happy they were gift cards, and not real turkeys!
Tuesday night we're getting on the Light bus.
For $1 you get a ride around town to see all the Christmas lights!

The neighbor told me that we are half way through winter here!
I said, the days will start getting longer too!

Better go, I have to put my Roof Rake in the van, as it's getting returned. Unless someone smarter than me (yes I youtubed it) can get it to Telescope! It's a dud! None of us here can get the handle to extend, and the shovel part keeps coming off! That can't be good!

I also have a parcel to pick up at Paul's Superette! That's a little store almost anything that isn't Canada Post goes to!
Then meeting mom for coffee in town before the parade!

Sun is shining, it's a lovely day in the neighborhood, and it's about +4!

Talk to ya later, hope you're all well!

Sounds like you are fitting right in to the neighborhood. Good on you.
If all goes well we will be there for a couple of days next week 18th to 20th (weather permitting etc. ) I will try and touch base with you if possible.
Hugs, Myrna

+4 at this time of year - it must feel like paradise! Good to see how really seem to have made a new home... and I mean more than just the house!
Cheers, Barbara
