Since they weren't likely to get a cab here in time, we unexpectedly had to drive to the airport. We parked at the Park'n'Fly lot and made our flight without much time to spare.

I made a quilt for my sister for Christmas. I started it in July, and finished it in December. Here it is:
***
The dog is still awesome, and I'm still her favourite auntie.
***
I got to see a lot of family on this trip, most of them multiple times. It was great to see everyone.

I went to three of my niece's ringette games. She got her first goal in one of the games, and her team won another one. I attributed it to her favourite auntie being at the game. (B: "Auntie Wanda?")

The trip back was in eventful, but man the 6:20 am flights kill me. The Park'n'Fly bus was just leaving the terminal when we got out of the airport, and he stopped to wait for us when he saw us coming. The car wasn't too bad, but there was a fair amount of snow behind it, so our driver came back to shovel out the back and, when we were stuck in the spot, another driver came over to help get us out. I highly recommend them.

First day of the year, and I figured out how to renew an ebook from the library. Yay for new things!

Yesterday, I went downstairs at mom's to find my cousin's three-year-old son zipped into the dog kennel. I asked if someone put him in there, and he answered (in the saddest voice you can imagine
), "no, it was me".

Airlines have a 50 pound limit for luggage, and I know if I can easily lift my suitcase, it's under 50 pounds, but the instructor at the gym has been working on an evil plan to make me stronger. My suitcase squeaked through at 49 pounds.

Some family friends moved into a senior's home from the house they lived in for almost sixty years. I helped them go through stuff for a couple of hours, and they gave me a few things, including some pans and an awesome pickle dish that survived the trip home.
***
Winnipeg airport has stores and restaurants in the secure area. This is new, and a big improvement from a few years ago, when the only store was closed and the water vending machines broken when I was there.
***
Before Christmas, I love having the tree and lights up, but as soon as I get home, they just look like work to me.
Not that I put them away today, but it won't be long.
***
And now I'm home, and I'm exhausted, and there is no food in the house, and I go back to work in the morning.
I hope everyone enjoyed the holidays.
Sounds like you had a good holiday season! That dog looks just like the schnauzer we had when I was a teenager.
ReplyDeleteI know that feeling about Christmas decorations. As soon as the day is over I want it all put away. We did minimal decorating this year so it took very little time to get it all stored, even with a trip to the storage unit to put it back.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you can come help me when we get ready to move to a seniors home. I'd like to see a pic of that pickle dish you got.
