Snowing Tonight

It just started to snow now, they say it will snow tonight and tomorrow....We took Kiana and Keeli to feed the bunnies (we have wild bunnies in town by Orchard Park). We took some photos but I have not downloaded them yet. We fed them carrots, apples, and some green beans....one way of using up old produce from the fridge. After we fed the bunnies we went to feed ourselves at "Wendy's". It was nice to visit with the girls, probably the last outing with them before we leave for Yuma. If I get the photos downloaded I will post them here later. We put another load of food into the motor home fridge today and I am still gathering cloths and computer stuff to take on the trip....yuk, I hait packing.....

Looks like it is a good thing we decided to wait out the weather a few more days.....

Visiting Brad and Marnie

We are all at Brad's tonight. It is going to snow again tonight and the pass in Oregon looks bad still. I think we will be home one more day. Maybe we will leave on Saturday. Sunday looks a bit better and Monday is mostly sunny and a bit cloudy in the USA. Jill if you see this blog, try calling me on Skype.

Snowing AGAIN!

Dang, it is snowing again....We had a beautiful breakfast at Jen & Ken's and then we just visited until about 3:00pm. Now we are home and I am going to start packing up my Christmas Decorations...we still have not loaded the motor home but I have lots ready to put in it. I have been checking the "road cams" and weather reports/forecasts for the route we take south, it is not looking good....Our granddaughter KIANA has made a wish that it snows so much that we get snowed in and then we have to stay home... Well I better go, soon Brad will be here for dinner and I would like to put away a few things before he comes...Anyway we wish you all a Merry Christmas Night....happy boxing day shopping for those who will brave the crowds tomorrow.

Merry Christmas!

Well the turnkey is in the oven and stuffing is made (I do mine outside the turkey). I also have the cranberry sauce done....now for a quick clean up of the house and setting of the table. It is sunny right now and we may still go in to town for a bit. The roads do not look good for out trip south, I am looking at the web cams and checking the weather for our route. They are predicting more snow and Ernest says maybe we will not leave on the 27th if it is bad.....who knows, he says that and then he wants to go....I would rather sit here at home than in the motor home..... oh well a couple days to go so we will see...... Have A MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE!!!!

White Christmas

It is snowing again today, looks like we will have a WHITE CHRISTMAS. Our friends are leaving for Clear Water today, Pete's surgery went well and he had a good day resting here yesterday. We played Sequence again last night and us girls beat the guys (again!)..... It is nice having Pete and Vi here especially since they will not be Yuma this winter. I still have not started packing the motor home or our cloths for the trip..... gonna be rushed if I do not get going!!!! We had the kids in for dinner on the 20th and they all opened their gifts from us then, the grand kids were all happy with the things we picked out for them so it made us feel good. We are having Christmas dinner here with Brad and his two kids, and Jen and her family...Marnie and her girls are in Calgary this year by themselves. Then Christmas day it will just be us and Brad for left over dinner.... Jen and her family will be at Ken's Aunt Mary's...Boxing Day is our Naka family dinner at the hall, about 60 or 70 of us depending on who is home. We plan on leaving on Dec 27th..... Merry Christmas to you all....I may do another blog before the Big Day but who knows with this busy time of year.

Our BUNKO NIGHT!

Here are some photos from our BUNKO night. We had the family in for "order in Chinese" and then we played BUNKO. Our son-in law was not home as he was coaching Ringette in Enderby.....he missed a fun time but we will do it again before we leave for Yuma. Here are some pictures, I left a camera on the head table as asked them to take photos as they play. Oh ya I added some of my tree and our house,

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas, we want to wish you all a

VERY SAFE AND HAPPY HOLIDAY SEASON!

Ernest Update

He went to the Ophthalmologist today, he has Glaucoma in his left eye. He has some drops to put in it every day a dinner time. He will need these drops probably for the rest of his life. We think it was caught early and with this treatment it will not get worse for a long time......anyway time will tell, he has to go back in one week for another check.

I have been busy helping a sick friend so I have not done much here on the blog. I do have the lights outside replaced and so far no one has taken them....I miss taking a photo when we had snow and now the snow is gone so will wait until we get more.

Well I better go make dinner.....
