it's snowing

It's actually been snowing on and off pretty well since Christmas day and starting to pile up!

We've gone into the office a couple of times this week but all is quiet in there.   Rick was going to stop into WalMart this afternoon but he said the parking lot was packed - so opted to stay away.  probably a good idea!!

Jamie apparently braved the boxing day crowds and lined up at Computer Canada at 7 a.m. on Monday to get the necessary components for his gaming computer.   He did make a couple of calls to Rick for some advise when he was putting his system together, but pretty well did it on his own.  I believe he was up and running and playing the new Star Wars game by Wednesday night. 

Even though it's been snowing, it has also been extremely cold (minus 20 and colder at night) so the roads are staying snow-packed and icy.  We'd planned to get into Ottawa today or over the weekend, but it looks like it's going to be snowing all weekend - so we may hold off until next week when the weather is better.

Cats are extremely bored - they won't go outside in the cold weather at all.  Buddy tends to chase the lady cats when he gets bored - then they start to fight.   I got fed up and put them out this afternoon for about 10 minutes - that seemed to settle them down for a long winter's nap.

Tonite we're just staying in with a nice fire and watching some TV movies.  Die Hard is on and while it's a bit cheesy - still fun to watch!  remember when Bruce Willis had hair????? 
everything looks so pretty in the snow - I snapped this tonite just as the sun went down.
