Here we are with my family on the 23rd of December. We will be staying with them until Boxing Day, at which time we'll head down to spend time with Susan's parents until it is time for us to leave.
Our day went quite well. Going to Mass Saturday night gave us the whole morning to tidy things up. Dishes were washed and put away, linen was laundered, wood and kindling boxes were brought in, last minute instructions were written down for our exchange... At about noon I went with the girls to help decorate the church for Christmas while Susan gave the final once over; things looked so clean and clutter free that she just had to take pictures of them! I can't wait to see them.
The drive was grey but good. We had rain for the better part of two hours and that was finally replaced with clearing skies and cooler air. There was very little traffic and our total journey took about 4 hours, which included a few small stops. Although we topped up with wiper fluid this morning we never had to use it but we did manage to find cheap gas in a small town called Norland - it was 98 cents per litre for regular, where most other places were at least 102 cents per litre. We were very thankful that the rain never turned into snow or freezing rain.
Well, I've got to go. Have a great night.
