One One Twenty Twenty

I continue to be dumbfounded by the speed at which time goes by..... It seems like only yesterday that I was writing my first post of 2019, and now here I sit, on day one of not only another year, but another decade. Wow. How is this possible!?

The final weeks - of the decade - were filled with fun, including a milestone birthday celebration for a friend, a beer-tasting and brewery tour with colleagues, an afternoon of stained glass with the girls, and some awesome time spent in Canmore.

Happy 50th Char!
Welcome to the club!

Troubled Monk tour!

More stained glass creations.

Cool patterns in the ice.

It snowed a ton in Canmore!

The Simpsons came to Canmore!

Christmas was most excellent as well, as I got to see my parents and spend time with many other important peeps. My sister and her hubby are on the road in their cool moho (check them out on Instagram - @midlifeprevost), so I was the source of holiday entertainment for Mom and Dad this year. 🤪 While I was in Medicine Hat, I dragged my Mom out for several days of shopping - she was a good sport about it and let me help her with some minor home redecorating! She did not let me win at crib however.... LOL!

Lovely December weather!

The Parents

The Poochies

The classic Christmas combo.....
Elinor's shortbread and spiced rum!

My Dad's model train set....

....complete with a snowplow!

Meanwhile, back in Red Deer..... it was a beautiful day with the Cookes. Jennifer was in town from Calgary, and Nichole traveled out from Kelowna. We did miss the twins though - Lindsay and Kristen - as they are both on adventures on other continents!

New Year's Eve ended up being an uneventful night at home, and New Year's Day has been equally as quiet. A day of reflecting, feeling grateful, and doing housework......

I wish all the best to everyone in the upcoming year - may 2020 be your best year yet! 

Cheers!
