Be - Did you want some more snow?

I think you were requesting some snow, weren't you? You can have all you want as we have lots to spare and more coming down as I write! We are also getting your cold snap - going to 25 below tonight but I think it may not be as bad as you have been enduring lately there.
I have a few minutes to write a bit this morning - Harry has gone shopping on his own today. I was in North Bay yesterday for my violin lesson but ended up having so many tasks to complete that it took most of my day and I never saw the inside of a store to do any shopping of my own. Oh well, a few lottery tickets, and scratch and win tickets will have to do I guess!
Mike had requested a Christmas gift from us - which is good to have an idea of what to buy - but he cautiously asked us over the weekend if we actually bought it, and if we did, could he have it right away? We bought him an "I Pod Touch" - the technology eludes me - and so, I delivered the wrapped gift to him yesterday as he had two friends there at his home over the lunch hour from work who were going to help him upload, or download or whatever one does to get it working! He was very happy and appreciative - so that was enough to please me as well. Gifts that are successful are always good.
On the other hand, Harry's Mother needed a new electric kettle so his brother bought her one and she opened that gift when we were there on Monday as we knew her other kettle was leaking a bit. Well, she is "not amused" with this new one - does not like the shape or how it works ( sits on a docking station) So today Harry will buy her another new kettle the same as her old leaky one in an attempt to keep her happy. Harry has already told his brother so it won't hurt his feelings. We also bought her a gag gift that she opened early too. It was a bag of Wheat Fluffs cereal that apparently she used to enjoy eating all the time when they lived on the farm. HArry thought it would be a nice surprise for her. She was happy when she opened it but since trying a bowl she has complained that it has no taste and she doesn't like it and even asked HArry if it was "old" etc. Lots of complaining that Harry and I have to manage best we can.
Anyway, must get back to some work here at home. Oh, my appointment with the eye specialist that I was to go to today was postponed and now I am not going until January 25! I was so anxious to go to see what was going on with my eyes and now will have to wait this much longer. Hopefully it will turn out OK. I think of you Patty and your saga with your teeth and give a little chuckle about all the little troubles that seem to beset us!
Take care
