I usually do my christmas decorations the first sunday in December. Steve, Sheila, Christopher and Amanda came to visit on the America Thanksgiving and they will not be coming for christmas and today is the first Sunday of Advent, so I put the decorations up. I also took my annual family christmas photo of the Hawes while they were here. Its snowing here now, so it really looks nice outside now with the decorations and the lights.

Looking forward to going to the Stirling Theater in two weeks. This years pantomine is Robin Hood, a romp through Sure Would forrest. Last year was Ponocio and when he told a lie, it wasnt his nose that grew. I think this is our fifth year. We go for supper at Platters across the road from the theater. This year there is 10 of us going so it should be a fun night. I have four extra tickets if anyone is interested in showing up and comming with us. Let me know before I sell them off. Two couples backed out this week, but I am not worried about selling the tickets because these shows are always sold out and I had to buy mine in June. No camera's allowed so I wont be able to post pics of the play, but I will take some of us all dressed up.

Hello out there for all of you still in Blog land, just checking in. Everyone here is good, mom and I will be going for our flu shots tomorrow. We had a little bid of snow, but nothing stayed on the ground . We did not get anything near what Barrie or Toronto got, it is like we are in a little bubble and everyone around us got hit and it missed us. I am sure we will get our share soon enough. That's all for now, not much else new except that Garry and I are going to be little willi's godparents, SWEET. Thanks Henry for thinking of us.
