After last night's lovely extravaganza, there are only 3 more gatherings with accompanying over indulgences before we are back to our normal fare of soup and sandwiches. Our son-in-law's parents invited us to their Christmas/New Year open house. We met many new people, ate a lot of good food, and had a good time. We had been house bound for a few days, having many people in, but not getting out much so it was good to see the outside world once again. I discovered that there is not as much snow in the rest of our city as there is in our neighbourhood. This is not surprising as we have noticed this before. We seem to have our own little micro climate determined by the lie of the land. On a hot day in summer, it is just a bit cooler, on a windy day, just a bit calmer, and like the last few days, when it snows, we get just a bit more. But, the streets are draining, the snow is melting, our roof has stopped groaning, the basement is still dry, the power is on, and our bellies are full of chocolate. The year is ending in fine style.
