We spent a day at the cottage fitting the cedar sink surround and the new drawer fronts. The sink surround was like building a barrel and proved to be a challenging wood working project for Rob. There are two door panels that hinge on either side to add to the front. Rob was ever so relieved to finally get things to fit. The varnishing will be left until the spring.
Never ones to sit around we decided to re-do the bathrooms at the condo. Both of the bathrooms received quite the face lifts with new countertops, sinks, taps, and paint. In addition we have added new knobs to the cupboards and a splash of new accessories and colours. What a difference it makes! It felt good to be spending some time working on the condo. Rob is now heavily into manufacturing drawer boxes for his dream shop. At last count there were 16 new drawers being sanded and readied for their first coat of varnish.
On the 23rd of the month we joined Aimee, Craig, Ava, Landon, David, Linda, Sarah, Scott and last but not least Dude at a Christmas celebration in Brantford.
On Christmas day we spent some time with mom and Santa at Huronview. From there we drove to London where we joined Bob and Jan for a lovely dinner and overnight. The next day we visited with Alison, Scott, Chase and Sherry in Exeter. It is always fun to see what Santa has brought the kids.
Speaking of Santa he did in fact leave some things for us. It would seem that he was into fitness this year as we received snow shoes, walking poles, a fitness mat and four pound weights!?! Of course he may have seen how much chocolate and nuts were under the tree before he made his decision?? In addition Elvie (Land Vessel) did quite well with a new GPS and several guide books to the East Coast.
The driftwood Christmas tree receives its first snow just in time for the holidays.
We never get tired of the view out our bedroom patio door especially when it is snowing.
