Good evening. I am just home from Carol’s YaYa’s party in Scottish highlands. We had so much fun. Of course she had a nice dinner for us which we ate on the back patio. It was a beautiful evening, although it will be going down to 49° overnight. Donna and I took a couple of pieces of plants that Carol had at her entryway. They are really cool looking succulents as you can tell, both Donna and I are into plants. Ha ha. Meanwhile, Mark was home, bathing Robbie’s feet, walking the kids and watching a movie. I think he probably enjoyed his evening as well. 

This is an inspiration for my next painting. It is Quebec city all decked out for the holidays.

Earlier in the day, we went bowling and played three games. Next to us was an older man who was an excellent bowler. We got talking to him and he had been in the pro series in the 70s. He pulled a great game today and I asked him if he ever teaches. He said no, but if he’s at the bowling alley, he would be happy to help us out. His name is Charlie. 

I think that’s it for today. Not much news, just a real fun day for both of us. 

Sue and Wayne’s company, Marlene and Nate are on their way home to Canada. It was a short visit, the airlines are canceling flights left, and right if they are not fully booked. I am sure it makes sense businesswise, but it is not very good for the traveling public. You get your vacation time set up make your flight and then find out that you’re missing three days of vacation because you can’t get to your destination. And, we found out today that Bruce and Heather are in the villages and that Rose arrives tonight. That will be so much fun to see them over the coming weeks 

Well, Mark and the kids have gone to bed so it’s time to wrap it up and get some shut eye. Tata, stay safe till tomorrow.
