Hi Everyone,

Just a note this evening to let you know that we got home safely yesterday, in a howling wind storm (but before the freezing rain started). Rusty was a terrific traveler. We had a lovely family Christmas. Rusty had to spend some time by himself in my sister's house while the party was in my nephew's house, but he did just fine, had good appetite, and snuggled with us at night.
Our weather is wild. It poured rain (regular rain, not freezing rain) all night last night and this morning everything that had been snow was a sheet of ice. It's impossible to walk on our driveway without microspikes! The temperature has dropped to below freezing. We're supposed to get snow every day this week. That will be great! We can't wait to get out on our snowshoes/skis.

We are getting ready for our New Year's Eve party, so I had to go shopping today at the supermarket. We'll be having 12 or 14 people for late-afternoon munchies/drinks and a sit-down midnight supper with Champagne. In between many of the guests will go to the "First Night" in town (lots of venues all over town with music, dancing, story telling, etc. ). At midnight there are fireworks over the lake. Anyone who wants to can stay in the house with us in the evening and watch a video of Johann Strauss's "Die Fledermaus"--traditional New Year's Eve entertainment for Edward and me. Last year everyone made a "prediction" of what would happen in 2016: this year we'll see whose predictions happened.

Now, downstairs to hold Rusty's bowl. He's having his post-trip wonkiness today. Tomorrow morning he gets a B-12 shot at the vet's. His energy level is so much higher since he's been doing the shots.

Thank you all for visiting.

Ella & Rusty
 
Glad you're home safe and sound but you can keep your crazy weather!!

We've missed the LagoonMeister down at the lagoon.....glad to see him visit today!!

Yo Rusty....Nice seeing you again buddy....is you gonna come back down tonight and go for a midnight paddle??
 
Happy you're home safe! You're having some crazy weather! We had rain here Christmas Day and Boxing Day; was supposed to rain or snow today but did nothing. Much of Ontario was under a freezing rain warning yesterday.
Rusty's looking good!
 
Welcome home. That green looks pretty good for "wonky numbers". :D

I've got nanospikes on order, we are having very un-Vancouver like cold weather. Stores ran out of spikes a while ago.

Yo Deputy China, I'll try to get back to the lagoon tonight--maybe a bit later.

Your weather even made the news here. Enjoy the snow!

'night, all!

 
Welcome home Ella!

Looking good Rusty, I hope you make it back to the lagoon.

Enjoy the snow, avoid the ice.... I will hope your skis and snowshoes get a good workout.

Your pending party sounds wonderful! So wish I was there.
