18 Days and counting

Happy Sunday to all!  Well, in last week's blog, I was commenting on how little snow we had so far.    I guess I spoke too soon.  This past week, we had quite a bit and that snow is here to stay.  We still don't have nearly as much as last year but it's starting to pile up.  It is pretty though.  The trees have been covered with the white stuff for the past few days and it makes for very beautiful scenery.  Russell took some photos,  Cooper had fun playing in the fresh snow and I made some paths in the backyard for the Coop.  It is looking like a maze now and he loves it!

Regardless of how pretty it is out there, we are starting to count the days until our trip to Mayan Riviera. We especially look forward to seeing the sun.  We haven't seen much of it in the past few weeks and I miss it.  Maybe this week.....

This past week was quiet.  Russell and John had their monthly "guys" breakfast together. We went for a number of walks on our road, went to the gym, and watched some TV.  Cooper went back to doggie day care, after a 4 week break due to the holidays and all.

Yesterday, we watched the movie The Martian.  What a great movie and worthy of all the Oscar nominations it received.  It was great from start to finish.....well, we missed the first 10 minutes.  When we placed the order for the movie, we thought we had 48 hours to watch it, as per usual.   By the time the order was processed, it was 1:40 and we realized that the movie was already playing, "live" from 1:30 to 4 pm, with no opportunity for pausing or rewinding.  A word of advice:  if you want to rent a movie, better do it via Netflix or CinemaNow, not through Bell.

Another quiet Sunday.  I went to the gym this morning then came home and made French Onion Soup for dinner.  A snowy day deserves a nice comforting soup.  It will be yummy and cheesy.

That's it for this week's blog.  We're just relaxing now, doing what we normally do on Sunday afternoon in the Winter months...not much.  Have a great week everyone!

Can you see the driveway? 

Cooper is a great foreman watching the clean up of snow.

Mr. Coop on his stump....can you see the stump?!

The snow is gently piling up on the branches.
