The weather outside is frightful, but it's warm and comfortable inside with the Christmas music streaming from the speakers.
The weather forecast is predicting up to 30 cms of snow and I just saw a few flashes of lightening followed by the rumbling of thunder. The wind is whipping up from the high winds and forming huge snowbanks outside this condo. I'm staying in all day as my curling game has been cancelled for this afternoon.
Inside, the moving boxes are starting to pile up high while the cupboards and closets get cleaned out. I think I've done as much packing as I can until the big day (in 45 days). I've now moved on to my Christmas holiday packing. For two weeks, I'll be in Mt. Tremblant with my extended family, including my brother and his family from Australia. His two children haven't ever seen snow, but they're expected to arrive today in Montreal (which is experiencing this same snow storm system!). Whether they can land or not is another question altogether.
I'm glad to have the Christmas break between now and the time I move as it'll help the time go by faster. Yesterday I went and visited my new house. On the way from here to there, I was thinking about how far it was from the centre of town.... Oh no.... I'm in the burbs! Some of my friends that I invited couldn't make it - but our own fabulous Anne-Marie did! Kinda neat that she and her bunch were the first ones to see my new home.
It's smaller than I remember and I've probably got to put about $25K of renovations into it - but it's mine! Oh, another clap of thunder outside.
Think I'll sign off and make myself a nice long mug of hot chocolate.
A bientot mes amis.

It's not 'small', it's 'cozy'! :) Have a nice warm day inside. I think most of Ontario will be inside today!
Hey Lesley!
Looking forward to seeing you in a week! Will you be at Mum and Dads' when we get there on the 22nd?
I've got 3 more gifts to buy and I'll be done my Christmas shopping. Now I just have to figure out how to get it all on the plane. It's in a cardboard box right now, as I don't have an extra suitcase...
Have fun in the snow!
Hi Dale,
I'll see ya on the 23rd. I'm gonna break up the trip by making a stop in Carleton Place enroute.
Ian is in the air as we type but M&D are staying put and Ian will be staying the night at an airport hotel. It'll be great for the kids to be introduced to snow with a huge storm!
I hope to see it one day next year Lesley!
Dale, I have a small suitcase you can borrow... let me know!
enjoy your family time!
Have a fantastic time in la belle province, my dear! And happy holidays to you and yours!

Have a wonderful holiday, Lesley. I'll bet you're exited about your move too. We are also having very cold weather here, which is quite a shock to the system after our South African holiday. I am already missing the blue skies and sun baked earth.
Enjoy Christmas with your family, dear xx
