BEAUTIFUL LILLIES


Our Christmas was different this year. Mom shared herself and went to Cams for Christmas - Christmas eve was spent having a cheese fondue called Racklett (sp.) - They all opened presents around 10 am (cause she is just like a kid) and she loved the Royal Doulton Cinderella and Prince Charming that we got her and the miniature Royal Doulton that Adam gave her (she has the bigger one of the same Royal Doulton and the smaller one now sits beside the bigger one - from Aunt Jean who passed away this year). Mom was a little beside herself having to break TRADITION yet it was a most wonderful Christmas with Cam, Dave, Lara and John, Margo, Gregory, Melissa and Paul. AS FOR US - IT WAS AWESOME - we went out on December 24th to Brandts to get our Turkey Breast and Pork Tenderloin - Headed to THE BRICK - LEFT THE BRICK - HEADED TO FUTURE SHOP - LEFT FUTURE SHOP and landed at BEST BUY - GOT FAVOUR - Picked up a SWEET HD/LCD 40 inch screen SAMSUNG FLAT SCREEN TV and SWEET stand and got the best deal ever. Even today as I write this - the Boxing Day sale was 150 bucks more than what we got FAVOUR for. The stand was not in stock so they perked us up with a major SURGE SYSTEM - As you can imagine it was a Christmas Eve PARTEEEEEEEEEEE as the TV was set up to play games etc. The last of Adams pals left at 4 A.M. - I got up early - as Jimmy was IN REST - LOL - And got most of the meal ready - Jim and AT got up at 1 P.M. and we opened our presents - and then continued on to make the meal - It was a most wonderful relaxing Christmas - Today, we got the HD Digital set up with Rogers, the stand is still to be delivered (will put a pic on soon) and - oh my goodness - will I never learn - The internet went down at 2 P.M. and all I had to do was take the elec out and then put back in after 3 seconds. ALL IS WELL AT 9 THAMES. YET - the thing that really got me was when me BRO CAM gave me 5 Lillies - These Lillies are soooooooooooooo beautiful and the aroma is most amazing - They just today all bloomed and just absolutely love them. Its the first time I have ever received flowers for Christmas.
