Phil Goes On Vacation Without Janet!

Shocking!  Phil went to Lethbridge and didn't invite Janet to go along.  She was somewhat crushed, but didn't let on.  Bottom line - Janet is such a trooper and team player it's scary!

He left late Thursday night and came home late Sunday night.  That meant Janet had three nights of a stay at home vacation on her own.  She was sad, but again, we reiterate- Team. Player.

Around 7PM on Saturday night, Janet is sitting in the kitchen watching TV and all of a sudden, the lights are gone.  Janet reads alot of crime books and loves TV crime shows, so obviously her first thought was that someone had cut the wires to our house!  It was somewhat reassuring, albeit spooky, to look outside and see the entire block in complete darkness.

House by flashlight!  Our Aunt T called quite by chance so was able entertain Janet in the pitch black for well over an hour.  Bronwyn also called to be an entertainment committee.

This is the kind of gourmet food people that live by themselves eat:

Egg Salad Sandwiches - three times in three days.  This one wouldn't have been toasted if the power hadn't come on around 9PM.

On Sunday, before Phil arrived home, we trooped over to the Oak Bay Avenue Christmas Light Up.  We patiently waited outside whilst Janet went into the grocery store to get some dinner goods.

And then we hit the Ave.!  Janet said it was a huge mistake to bring us.  The street was so crowded it was nearly impossible to move.  Plus, bonus!  We doggies discovered that little tykes drop their food all over the street!  Janet had a really hard time controlling us.

Next up - the Truck Parade!  Janet's favourite Christmas event.

80 trucks in total.  Fantastic!

One out of three photos in focus...not too bad!

The day of the Truck Parade, we had a super big wind storm with rain.

Check out my ears!

Tons of logs on the beach and smashed up sail boats outside GNS.

Phil and Janet have quit counting, but I'm pretty sure I'm nearly up to 60 baseballs now.  I found this one just the other day and it was left with me for too long.  I knuckled down and and started to chew off the leather cover.

Crazy Sewing Lady made another quilt top.  She really likes this pattern and says it goes together quite quickly.  She also made another exactly the same but with blue fabrics.  Now, off to buy some inner and outer borders, binding and backing.  Phil wants to give the red one to a client.

Last weekend, Janet sunk to new lows.  She needed to return the library books they took out for Mr. Finley and she was too lazy to get dressed.  It was only about 8:30AM on a rainy Saturday.  Phil was going to make her a Weekend B52 coffee, but she didn't want to drive after having one.  Phil could barely believe she would go in the car in her "jammies" and Bog boots.  He asked her if anyone had seen her and she lied and said no!

Could be work out wear, right?  Kind of?

Janet took this photo and we have absolutely no clue why.
