December 18 to 22, 2014; Getting ready for Christmas

DEC 18, Thursday; Transport Day
Another busy day.  I went to Burnaby to pick up doors then to a couple places in Surrey for small parts.  Kevin called and I had to go back to Burnaby to pick up two big mirrors then back to Aldergrove for more doors.  On the way back, I stopped in Abbotsford to drop off a part we were missing and that I picked up at “Aluminex”.  I helped Rob by cutting that piece to fit, installed it and put the final “beauty cap” on it while he was busy on installing an interior door.  I was there for about a half hour then we both headed back to Chilliwack.  Weather wise, I had pretty well everything; rain, clear skies, winds and more rain.  A quiet evening at home.


DEC 19, Friday;
This week has gone by fast!  I had to pick up some doors in Langley this morning, after unloading the load from yesterday.  In the afternoon, I took some stuff to the “Home Shop” then had to deliver a door to a customer in Sardis which I picked up this morning.  I had some weird weather, first it just poured under a very dark sky and all of a sudden, the sky broke and the sun came out, albeit not for long.  By 4 pm, I was all done and came home.  We had an early dinner then went to Courtenay and Graeme for birthday cake.  Everyone brought a dessert and we got to taste them all.  Val made macaroons cookies (Yum, yum!).  Everyone was there except for Vanessa and Sid & Vera who had previous commitments.  A few of their friends also showed up which made for a very noisy evening and fun was had by all; Courtenay was spoiled with presents as she should!  We were home by 9:30 and to bed by 10!


DEC 20, Saturday;
Last week-end before Christmas!  It is very somber and drizzling at this moment (8 am).  After showering, we went to the mall to check out a couple things and ended buying a present for son Jeffrey.  We then went to Rochelle and Kevin where we caught Vanessa helping mom making pastries and Hayley doing her make-up for work.  We had a short visit with everyone then went to the Pub and had dinner before going to the cinema to see “The Hobbit”.  As I came out of the cinema I realized that my glasses had fallen out of my pocket so I went back in to find them.  No luck but I did find a watch which I turned in. I sure my problems lately with glasses!? It is still raining!


DEC 21, Sunday; Laundry day
I went back to the cinema and got my glasses which they found when they did their major clean-up at the end of the day; thank goodness!  Val did the laundry and I watched football then after dinner (roast pork cooked in the crock-pot), we went to the cinema to see “EXODUS”.  It was very good and more plausible than any other movie I’ve seen on MOSES’ subject.  Early night!


DEC 22, Monday; Back to work
I only worked half a day today.  I had a pick-up to do in Aldergrove then I stopped in Abbotsford to pick up all the equipment left over including three windows.  I drove back to the shop and unloaded everything.  I was home by 1 pm!
