23 Tuesday; 2 days to Christmas!
More driving today! I went to Richmond and a 2.5 hour trip turned
into 5 hours because of two serious accidents; one on Hwy 17 and the other on
Hwy 1. It rained all day and I have no
doubt it played a part into the mishaps.
Anyway, I made it back to the office and after unloading the truck, I
helped in the year-end inventory. At 3
pm, Rochelle and Kevin separated the presents received from companies they deal
with and we split them between all the employees; I got two bottle of wines. I got the windshield on the Jeep replaced
today; I had a crack in it and 3 chips ready to spread. A quiet evening at home and I finally heard
from my brother Johnny. He says he will
be at Rochelle for dinner on X-mas day!

24, Wednesday; Christmas Eve
Last partial day of work
for this year! I am off now until
January 5th. I went in at 8
am, took the truck I drive over to the garage down the road to have the batteries
secured; there’s been a rash of battery theft from business trucks in town
lately. The Delivery truck always stays
at the shop, overnight and week-ends whereas the other three are taken home. I was home by ten! Well, as I suspected, Johnny never showed up
and phoned around 4 with some excuses.
No surprise there!!!
We had a quiet evening at
home enjoying a drink and watching some Christmas show.

25, Thursday; MERRY CHRISTMAS!
We had a nice breakfast then got ready for a
busy day! I packed all the presents in
the Jeep and boiled the potatoes for the dinner later (2 full pot). Brother Johnny arrived at 12:30 pm which allowed
us to catch up to his news. We drove to
Rochelle and Kevin at 2 pm where Jeffrey had already arrived. Doreen and Gord got there around 3 pm and the
grand-kids finally arrived around 5 pm.
We soon were seated at the table (13 in all) and proceeded to devour the
food that Rochelle and Kevin worked so hard in preparing. It was delicious. Afterwards, we moved to the Living Room and
Santa (read me) gave out the presents.
We had fun and it was so nice to be in the presence of all the
kids. I really enjoyed my moments. Soon, it was time to move on and we got home
around midnight
IT WAS A FANTASTIC DAY!!!
