Waiting for the hockey game

As I write this note, Patty will be entertaining her Ravenesque ladies, and I will assume you others will be at work???
I am waiting for the start of the Winter Classic Hockey game that is due to begin at 3 pm – another 15 minutes or so. I have some potato chips in a bowl at the ready, and plan to pour myself a drink ( a real drink that is haha) I actually thought it was to commence at 1230 so was ready then but after not finding it on the CBC TV I realized I had misread the time and the 1230 slot was Pacific time – hence the 3 pm start is eastern time. You can see how exciting my life is when an event of this nature captures my undivided attention!
We were to Sprucedale this morning and brought home a big rain barrel and large outdoors flower pot full of soil. Harry has arranged to meet a real estate agent at the house there at 11 am on Wednesday. We haven't cleared out the inside yet as we are waiting on his sister to get mobile and remove the articles she wanted – so far no movement on her part although to be fair Christmas and New years did occur. Harry has told her that he will pack up stuff and if her husband can help, then the both of them could make a day of hauling stuff to her house. Don't know if that will happen? 
It's pretty sad and lonely with the tree all gone and the other Christmas stuff boxed up. I really enjoyed sitting early in the morning with a coffee and hearing the "quiet" I shall have to create another distraction for myself I guess.
Anyway, as we get back to our usual patterns in life, whatever they may be, here's to a new year full of promise. Take care
