Away (And Up)
Just a quick entry this weekend. I'm away in Vancouver, busy with work, a little holiday shopping, and visiting with family and friends. I survived the trip to Ottawa and enjoyed seeing the city in winter. Next time I'll bring a few more layers, though. Richard, meanwhile, is busily running up and down ladders - mudding coat three on the new walls, and painting the textured ceilings in the bedroom, kitchen, great room, and office between coats. Nothing exciting enough to merit photos, but just wait until next weekend when I'm back and we start painting walls! I'm especially looking forward to moving our couches in from the garage - otherwise what would be the point of setting up a Christmas tree, if we couldn't sit down in our new living room to enjoy it?
Our plans are still not settled for the holidays. Since Richard is trying to sell the Unimog based on its facility as a municipal maintenance vehicle - snow removal, this time of year - it's important he get out to the communities that deal with high volumes of snow while they're in the midst of the season. So he may be travelling quite a bit throughout December, and we're not sure what that will do to our plans for visiting in Vancouver. We're going to spend Christmas Eve/Day at the house, certainly, but after that... we'll let you know closer to the date. Sorry! We'll be in touch with everyone to try to make plans, and hope that if time doesn't allow for proper visits, we'll see you on New Years' Eve to ring in 2005.
