We had our annual potluck lunch at the office yesterday - very nice - LOTS of good food and treats! There was a nice taco/rice concoction that I will have to get a recipe for! And to finish off a cranberry cheese cake! too much food - but all very good.
After our lunch, I drew up an offer on a house (yup, real estate still carries on) and then a quick stop at the grocery store for our turkey and a few last minute items. Drive home was nasty with heavy snow and slushy roads - but at least most drivers were adjusting their driving accordingly - we were able to take our time. In spite the weather and poor road conditions, I didn't hear of any accidents, so that's good.
We woke up last night around 2:30 to discover the power had gone off. It's funny, even asleep, we seem to be aware when the power goes off! The pellet stove needs power to run the auger and fans, so Rick had to shut it down - but it didn't get that cold and the electricity actually came back on in a couple of hours - so not at all an inconvenience. When I looked at the Hydro One website it showed lots of folks without power most still during the day, so we were very lucky to only lose it for a couple of hours during the night!
Kris and Rick took turns cleaning the laneway this morning - Rick also did the laneways for a couple of neighbours. He finds the job sooooo much easier with the Kubota tractor compared with the snow-blower he did it with for years. I just stay inside and watch! Here is Kris on the tractor
LOTS OF SNOW!!

We're still looking for someone to take the cat that Kris is looking after at the shop at his work - we'd take her but that would be #6 and I just don't think we can handle six cats.
this is her - if anyone knows of a home - she's very talkative and friendly - we'll even deliver!
