Christmas Is Coming

It was our Christmas Block Party this Sunday.  We weren't invited as it was held at the neighbours house.  They are leaving Victoria in the spring and wanted to have the party at their house.  It's more fun at our house as we get to socialize with everyone!

Wendy, who always has a good time; Michael and Mark.  The party was at Michael and Brenda's house.  They are moving to the interior.  Six degrees of separation - Michael is from Lethbridge!

Jeremy was home for one week from Northern BC and was working on some stuff in the basement.  The sound of one of the machines drives poor Noodles insane.

She managed to recover when we went for a walk and came home very proudly carrying this stupid piece of kelp.  Noodles always scours the curb edge down at Willows Beach looking for small pieces of kelp.  Janet doesn't like her to get the kelp as she gets very territorial.

It was Phil's birthday on Monday.  He is 64 years old!  We think he looks pretty good, even if you take into account he lives with Mrs. Major Anal Janet.Personally, we have heard Janet mutter under her breath that if that ugly mess continues in his office, his life expectancy will be a lot shorter than he anticipates.  We really hope nothing mysterious happens to Phil and Janet, is subsequently,  incarcerated.  Where will we go?  We bet Mike and Bronwyn would take us.  We really hope Phil cleans up his office!  We like our street.

We have purchased a Christmas Tree from the same tree family for several years.  A couple of years ago, Janet and Phil drove out to the farm to select our tree.  Sadly, in the middle of a field, all perspective on size was lost and they came home with a giant tree that had to be cut down and even then, fell over twice once it was put up.  This year, they had a tree delivered to the city and Janet is very unhappy with it.

Janet says it has huge gaps on the trunk....very obvious and about a quarter of the bottom is starting to yellow.  Phil is in the process of complaining about it.  Ugly, right?
