26, Friday; Boxing Day Sales
We didn’t get up until 9
pm under cloudy skies and the snow level almost halfway down the surrounding
mountains! We went to the Mall as Val
had to buy a pair of shoes for her upcoming job. We won $12 from all the games tickets we got
from X-Mas presents so got more tickets.
We stopped at R&K to pick up a cooking pot we left behind last night
and ended having lunch there along with a nice visit. At home, I had a snooze and woke up in time
for the news and dinner.

27, Saturday; Visit with Jenaya and McKinley
We left around noon and
drove to Coquitlam. We stopped for a
quick snack then continued on. Our day
was really great with lots of fun with the kids and mom and dad too of
course. McKinley was very happy with her
doll and we watched a movie about the doll.
A nice story! Jenaya was also
extremely pleased with her present: a Samsung tablet so it was a good day for
both of them. We had dinner with them
and spent a wonderful evening but like all good things, it was time for the
girls bedtime and our departure soon after.
We arrived home around midnight under clear sky.
DEC
28, Sunday; Laundry and football
I woke up this morning to
a nice sunrise and lots of snow on the mountains. I posted some pics on FACEBOOK then it was
time for breakfast, shower and football.
Val did the laundry. We were
invited by our landlords to come and watch the football game (Seattle Seahawks
vs St-Louis Ram) so we went and had a nice afternoon. We came down after the game and got dinner
ready then watched the tube in the evening.
DEC
29, Monday;
No work today which was
somewhat strange; I am off all this week. Gorgeous sunshine but coooold (-2*C)!!! I went into town to check on the MH but the
place is closed for the Holidays, Darn! I stopped at the grocery store to get milk
then came home in time to see Val off to her orientation. She will be there from 3 to 7 pm. I had left over stew for dinner then went to
R&K for a short visit before they leave for a short vacation over New Year. Val had a good training session and she says
she will enjoy this.
DEC
30, Tuesday;
Very cold his morning and
sunny (-5*C @ 9 am); glad I am off!
Very frustrated with this
this thing, it keeps doing all kinds of strange things. I picked up my paycheck, deposited it then
went to “EARL’s” and made reservations for us for tomorrow evening. I then drove to BEST BUY in Abbotsford and
had then check out the laptop. It turns
out that I was hitting the “mouse pad” when typing so he showed me showed how to
turn it off (key fn & F7) and the same to turn it on. I came home and stopped for a bite to eat;
Val is gone to her job for more training.
Oh, and I also received a new winter jacket from “Window & Door”
with my name on it! Pretty neat, it is
brown with the company logo.
DEC
31, Wednesday; End of another very interesting year!
Sunny and cold one last
time this year! We went to Fort Langley
for a “looky-look”; boy has it ever grown!!
The downtown is pretty well the same but dozens of condos have been
built behind the pub with a new street.
Of course the ferry no longer operates.
We had lunch here at the pub then drove to Mt Lehman and checked out the
new Mall, not impressed! We came back to
Chwk and checked out the theatres then home for a short rest before heading to “EARL’s”
for a free dinner (Christmas present).
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!
