Jingle Bell Walk to School!




Today, was "Jingle Bell Walk" at Broadmoor Elementary School. The kids were encouraged to walk (three meeting places). We got there early and chatted with others until it was time to head to school. We were promised hot chocolate, but, the "burner" wasn't working so no go. We were lucky in that we got our first snow of December last night!
I was happy because I got to wear my new Shearer Hat. Made in Canada!



When I came home from work today/tonight, I was greeted by about six does and one young buck who were bedding down in our yard for the night.

Looks like the plumbers have been busy in our basement. We tired of our washing machine constantly breaking down in the unheated room; so we hired our plumbers to "make it work" in the basement. For "only" $4,500 they have blasted a huge hole to hold a sump pump. You can't just pump the water from the machine directly into the sewer line - one must pay a plumber $4,500 to pump the water into a hole in the ground from which it is then pumped into the sewer......We just want a place to do our laundry when it gets below freezing!


One more Saturday to work before Christmas....
