Normally, I would start decorating our house for Christmas the middle of November but this year things went a little crazy. Getting an offer on our house right when I would normally be pulling out the many bins definitely threw my schedule off. So, instead of decking the halls, we were throwing things in a suitcase and heading off to Ontario to buy our forever home.
We arrived back in Pincher Creek on Tuesday afternoon and unpacked. Wednesday morning the bins, boxes and trees came out of hiding. By that evening, the house was looking very festive.
The next day, Ron and I both had massages. I was told that my neck was extremely tight. Stress…perhaps!
Friday morning, we headed to the mountains. A massage may remove some stress but there is nothing like the view of the mountains to help you relax.
We took our skis and snowshoes to see what activity the snow would allow us to do. In Pincher Creek, we have green grass but the mountains shared a little winter with us on that day. We went further than I expected but it was just too nice to stop.
Apparently, the warm weather has confused the bears because we did see some tracks of them roaming. And yes, we will miss our mountains when we move!
On Saturday, we had a relaxing day and then on Sunday, we went to church. It was nice to see everyone. I went to Tracey’s for an afternoon tea and we visited for a couple of hours. I’m going to miss her. I’m thankful for modern technology to help friends from far and wide to connect. It’s not the same but it helps with the goodbyes.
Another week as gone by since then and it makes you wonder how time can fly by so fast. Christmas will be here and gone before we know it. January will bring lots of preparations and February will be our move month but stop, I need to enjoy the moment. I’m sipping on my last bit of coffee with the Christmas lights adding some ambiance…time goes by too fast and so does the coffee.
