Our Location today is Tecumseh, Ontario.
I had such a sound sleep last night that I was wide awake long
before 7:00 this morning. When I got up the first thing I had to take care of
was the computers that I set to scan last night. The next thing I did after I was
totally awake was get my exercise clothes on and started working out because I actually
felt like doing it. Being retired has its good points but sometimes it draws
the energy out of you that it takes to keep yourself in shape.
Even though she was tired Kathy managed to wake up a few
times so she slept in until nearly 8:00 after she discovered that I was no
longer in bed next to her. Instead of interrupting my workout she simply opened
the curtains in the living room and sat in the recliner looking out the balcony
door at all the white covered ground. The s@#wfall that was supposed to end by
early this morning was still coming down as she looked out the window and it
only stopped for about a half hour throughout the day. As a fact it is falling
as I write this post.
Once breakfast was complete we set about doing our morning
reading on the computers. Kathy got caught up on reading the kids Facebook
accounts while I headed to the shower to freshen up. By the time I’d shaved and
dressed she already had lunch on the table so we could be out the door before
noon.
No we didn’t miss our grandson’s hockey game. It was his
team’s turn to go to play a team in an adjoining district’s home ice so today
they were playing in the Belle River arena. Only problem was before we could go
anywhere I had to clean the truck off from Mother Nature’s gift to the area. There
wasn’t that much snow to clean off the truck but the problem was the cold
bitter wind.
Kathy and I arrived with time to spare but no one knew which
rink in the building these kids were playing in. We actually started watching
an all-girls league that really knew how to play the game and would have put
many of the boys leagues to shame. That’s when we found out Tyler was playing
on “A” rink at the front of the building. By the time we arrived the kids were
just finishing their warm-up so we didn’t miss any play time.
Tyler’s team was outmatched even though they did get a
couple of goals the team they were playing against was a travel team so as hard
as they tried they couldn’t keep up. Their goalie Sammy even though he made
many great saves looked like he wanted to bury his head in the ice with each
goal he let slip by. He has many years to continue to hone his skills so here’s
hoping he doesn’t give up. After leaving the arena Kathy and I stopped at Tim
Horton’s for a coffee to warm up before going home.

Sitting at the computers we were both nearly falling asleep
at the keyboard so we both to a Snap in the recliners before supper. Once we’d
awaken we turned the television to another Disney Christmas Special that was
just starting. Kathy managed to warm up supper during commercials so we ate at
the table and still watched the program. It was cute!
We’re not sure what we’ll be up to tomorrow because it is
the last day we don’t have anything booked to do from now until we leave
between the holidays. Thanks for following along and feel free to leave a
comment. Be Safe and Enjoy!
It’s about time.

Sure glad we don't have that weather here. We had three days of it in Texas and was enough for us.
