Today's kindness was not random, the wives of the Canadian Detachment here at NAS Whidbey Island had a cookie exchange where we each made a couple dozen cookies and got together today to make up baskets to give to the single Canadians who are here alone over the holidays.
I was in charge of having all the kids make cards to go with them.
It was a nice idea and fun for everyone. Day 8 down, 17 more to go.
My grandparents, Nanny and Baba arrived last night after 8 days traveling from Nova Scotia. We,re all glad to see them and happy they could come out for Christmas. Mark is on an off oration now which normally means boat work but unfortunately we are still lacking funds and payday isn't for another week so we are STILL waiting to order the stove pipe to finish off skippy but we are ready to move on to the bathroom renovation. Whidbey has entered into a freeze, it's colder here than I thought it could get on this coast, most days are -7 Celsius, puddles are icy, the green grass is crunchy with frost, so currently I am thankful that we don't have any water lines in the boat right now, or we,d have freezing to worry about and broken lines. Hoping out get down there tomorrow at least to make sure all is well.
