I have spent the better part of the morning getting parcels ready to mail. Xmas goodies for a friend, swap goodies for another, a Secret Santa parcel for a third. I am going to owe my soul to Canada Post by the time all's said and done! And so the busy holiday season begins! Just to reinforce that fact, it snowed here this morning. Just enough to last for a few minuted before melting. We rarely get snow here on the West Coast and when we do, it usually melts off pretty quickly.
Something that made my friend Sandy and I laugh till we cried yesterday was the border guard we dealt with on our way into the US. When he asked what we were going down for, I told him lunch and shopping. So he says "Do you ladies have your pointy sticks and knee pads?" Of course, I am thinking "Why does every border guard ask me if I have weapons?!" and I begin to think how I am going to formulate my denial that I have anything dangerous in my car. As he goes on, I realize he is making reference to the stampede in the US in a big box store that shall remain nameless and is suggesting we be prepared to defend ourselves if we are going shopping. I start laughing and say "Oh yes, I forgot that shopping was a full contact sport in the US!" I guess even border guards have a sense of humour!
Anyway, I should get back to work! Happy Sunday everyone!
