quiet boxing day

Well, we spent much of today quietly surfing and doing a quick tidy up.  Nothing too exciting.

We had a very nice Christmas day yesterday.  Jamie and Julie arrived around 1 o'clock. We opened up gifts and visited for the afternoon.   Turkey dinner around 4 was very good.  Rick made meat pies this year and they were delicious.  All turned out very well. 

Unfortunately, it did snow quite a bit yesterday which made for a long drive home for Jamie and Julie - we tried to eat early enough that they could leave before it got dark, but things didn't turn out that way so, while they brought a change of clothes just in case, they opted to go back to Ottawa.  The roads weren't bad, Jamie said, until they hit Kanata. 

Around 4 this afternoon, Rick and I popped out to Pembroke just to look around - the only "bargains" that we saw were the Christmas chocolates and candies and.....well....we got some.....

Tonight, we'll eat leftover turkey and just relax. If the weather cooperates, we might pop into Ottawa tomorrow.
