Month: December 2022

I did a Canada visit on my own just to visit my awesome family there. I can’t remember now why Lothar and I both didn’t go together but I’m assuming he didn’t have the vacation days or something like that.

I stayed with a wonderful neighbour in their oh-so-cozy basement, and used my sister’s car most days. Yes, there was snow, and I even had to shovel it off the windshield. One time, I couldn’t figure out how to get the trunk open. It turns out there’s a small button that you have to press, but I just didn’t see it.

We had such a good time. One of the things we did was an escape room altogether, and we actually succeeded! Here’s a photo of us at the exit, but it’s from a screen so it’s not great. LOL

I got to see Simon play one of his hockey games. So cool!! I just captured a couple of stills from the videos I took.

When we were back at my sister’s house, we were digging through some old photos, and she found some of our dad when he was young. You could see why he was such an excellent rower!

When the family was busy, I went out around Peterborough and treated myself to several really nice lunches.

I also made my usual stop at my sister’s chiropractor, who always provides great advice, whether it’s about my hip, shoulder, or just general muscle activation. At the mall, they have a tray station where you can leave your tray with all the random leftovers from your lunch, and somebody comes along to sort everything out, separating plastic lids from cardboard containers, etc. Without that, people often don’t know what to do and end up putting everything in general waste.

Towards the end, we all went to a restaurant together, and of course, there was a lot of clowning around from the kids.

And finally, we went to a drive-through Christmas lights show that was coordinated with music and a whole little skit! All you do is drive up, tune into the radio station, then sit back and enjoy. Really well done! The pictures were taken through the windshield, but still ok. 🙂
