I have a million things I SHOULD be doing yet I have no energy to do them it seems. Yesterday I went to a Christmas Chatty Tea at my friend Loretta's house. Yes, I know Christmas is long gone and a distant memory but at the House of Houben it is in full swing still! The tree is still up and glowing gorgeously with a back drop of snow out the windows. There is still a LOT of snow at the House of Houben. The tea party was such fun as they always are and the hours just speed by with us yakking about dolls, new treasures and life in our various homes. Loretta made a scrumtious high tea meal for us and the table was so pretty done up with her good Christmas dishes. We later watched a movie on her DVD player as I am DVD challenged and it takes me longer to figure out my machine than the usual movie takes to play. The movie was Molly by American Girl...probably a children's movie but for little girls at heart, it was perfect for an after tea activity. By the time I made my way home, the dense fog had rolled in. Getting out of Loretta's neighborhood was interesting but once I hit the main streets I was fine. Until I got to our neighborhood which was socked in with a deep pea soup kind of fog. I live fairly close to the Fraser River and the fog horns in the river were blasting every few minutes. It was a lovely afternoon and evening spent with friends, though. Now I really should get myself motivated somehow and get the house ready for the kids arrival before dawn tomorrow morning. Or maybe at least vacuum...maybe... Hubby mentioned earlier that he was talking to someone who said we may not yet be done with snow...I hope whoever it was is very wrong as I am very done with snow...for this year and next and next...just thinking about it makes me feel like taking a nap...but there is that vacuuming to get to...

Linda, it was such FUN having you over! We never run out of things to talk about, do we? How can we, when we keep buying doll DVD's and new doll clothes and accessories! Please do not say the snow word. Please! R & I were talking about another "s" word today; spring. I told him we shouldn't start dreaming too soon. But guess what? My little snowdrops are beginning to poke through the dirt in my front garden!
