I made several trips out today and had to studiously avoid the sun, to let my swollen face return to semi-normal. I needed a running shoe and a fanny-pack repaired and that cost me a whole $1 each. Then it was time for groceries, but it still felt good to be out and about after spending a week cooped up at home.
Across the street, they are adding yet another storey to the new home there, more than 18 months in construction after 3 months of demolition. The workers must be getting paid by the hour....
Then a very special friend brought me a Christmas present, a local craftsman's nativity scene, no more than 2" tall, and it is just so very precious at this time. With no snow and no family, it is really hard to get the Christmas feeling, but this really brought tears to my eyes.
On top of that, my sister Leonie kindly sent me a photo she had taken yesterday with Mom, 97 years old, and that set the waterworks flowing. I will be seeing everyone in Canada very soon and am looking forward to that.
Hope you enjoy the photos. That was the day's excitement, Cheers, Al
