Deka Lake Dispatches

The world is soft and white once again. We spent the day in 100 Mile with the wind whipping around us and it was very cold but brilliantly sunshine.

After an hour at home it became very windy and extremely dark. Then.....everything was white; the air was actually white. We were planning a big trip to Kamloops but maybe that will wait. And I was sooo looking forward to Value Village.

Picked up my hold at the Library (love my library)...the new Peter Robinson--great! And two pretty cookbooks. Bill chose some more dvds; it's very hard to choose dvds when your tastes are so different. We stick to the old ones; last week it was John Ford movies.

We are now parking in the actual driveway as the gumbo has frozen and are using the front door (located at the back, work with me) and the entry way. Bill cleaned out the entry way so that all the boots are now arranged by the door and not in the kitchen. Our faucet for the bathtub arrived today so we drove into the metropolis called Lone Butte and picked it up. We ordered it online through Amazon...go figure. It was an excellent price! We had the darndest time finding one here that didn't cost as much as the tub itself.

Jen called today from the "Mall". She was Christmas shopping; it's so weird to talk to someone on the phone and they're asking " Do you think X would like this for Christmas?". Although, she picked up one of my grandchildren's present for me. That saves so much time!

I've found a great online radio station site with a wonderful choice of genres. Now I'm listening to the Jazz station: Evening Melancholy. CBC can finally drive you to this. I love CBC but darn it, sometimes you just have to stop talking and play some good music.

Spaghetti sauce is bubbling away, fire is nicely banked, Phil Woods is playing, zzzzzz.
