Christmas recap
This year was pretty easy going. The drive to Sudbury was a little longer than expected thanks to an emergency closure between Arnprior and Cobden on Hwy. 17 that took us on a little detour through farm country. There wasn’t much snow, so there wasn’t many issues regarding traveling.
We arrived a little later than we expected, and headed to Evan & Terry-Lyn’s house (Jen’s cousins) for dinner & drink. I was very impressed with Evan’s man-cave; he had pinball! The next day we visited Jen’s grand-parents on her mother’s side for Christmas dinner. The food was great and so was the company. Jen’s grand-mother has a small dog named Daisy that gets hyper when people arrive. At first the dog was annoying, but as the night went on and it calmed down the behavior changed and it turned out to be a pretty nice dog.
The next day we visited some friends. First we went to Tasha’s; a high school friend of Jen’s who had just moved into a new house with her long term boyfriend. After spending a bit of time with them, we left to go see Chris & Shauny and watch the Montreal-Toronto game. The Habs won of course, 3-2 one minute into overtime! Toronto can’t finish. We were leaving as Michael (Chris’ brother) & his girlfriend Melissa were arriving. A handshake and a “Merry Christmas!” later we were driving back to Jen’s parents house for the night.
We drove home on Sunday and made great time thanks to a relatively empty highway. Halo was waiting at the door when we entered, and meowed like she hadn’t seen us in ages (4 days!). The reef seemed to do well without us for a few days, so I’m sure it’ll be fine while we’re gone to Jamaica and my friend Brent will be taking over the feeding duties.
