Welcome

Inspiration for this blog came from my cousin Roy. His daily reflections of the events in his life have been thoughtful and interesting. Family, friends, colleagues are welcome to read my blog.

A COUNTDOWN TO A CANADIAN CHRISTMAS- 1 WEEK TO GO

Present wrapped and some delivered to work mates, the bank and the bag ready for the newspaper guy. Babysitting out of the way for the evening event for one daughter and husband. Adolph has bought the fish for the Sunday dinner at another daughter's house which will be the family quasi seafood/meat meal. The girls have some in law commitments so it will be a time for all of us to be together. More babysitting during the day on Monday and Tuesday so one daughter has no babysitting/day care fees those days. Located one community event- the library up the street from us has a free craft event so will take the grandchildren there for an hour or so. Two other grandsons may join us for a bit on Monday so maybe a craft or cup cake decorating session and of course when everyone gets too rowdy- sit down and watch a movie!! This is my last day at work before Christmas but will return the week between Christmas and New Year's for coverage of other Social Workers. Actually looking forward to the break to help out with the grandchildren but to be at home during the Christmas season helps with the enjoyment. Forgot to mention last week, but if anyone is able to be a blood donor- Canada Blood Services needs you. I gave my regular donation last week. So I feel with helping different community efforts like the toy drive, food bank and blood, it is the Canadian thing to do to help those around us as we enjoy our family times together. So with one week to go, cleaning, watching movies and grandchildren, helping the cook, and just trying to finish the last minute gift card buying for that one more gift for someone. Hope your preparations are going well!
