displaced Christmas

Hi & Merry Christmas to friends . family

I thought this blog a convenient way to keep our loved ones - that would be you - in the loop now that we're Kootenay bound. I plan to include family photos w/ my new camera & give you the befores & afters of our renovation. You can check all this out @ your leisure.
Please excuse the lack of Christmas contact & cards. Yes, I did state "Kootenay-bound" we're not there yet! So much for all those "good-byes". I've even been back to a MOPs group I was supposed to have abandoned already.
We've found ourselves temporarily displaced & are "camping out" w/ my parents until further notice. GONE NOW - SEE BELOW. We're waiting for Jim's new truck which we hope will arrive soon. Except now it's 12 days away from Christmas & we don't know whether to stay . go . come back? Ahhh! WE'RE STAYING FOR CHRISTMAS & WE'RE WITHOUT A TRUCK STILL. THE ONE FROM THE STATES (THAT WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR WAS "NOT WHAT WE EXPECTED". BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD!
What am I going to? I have to ask myself. On one hand, it's a house brimming w/ unpacked boxes. On the other hand, it would definately be a white Christmas. And likely quaint and memorable for its Charlie Brown Christmasy quality.
If we stay, we'll be @ Colin & Colleen's. HERE NOW. Thanks to them for their very generous offer! It would be so nice to have all of those little cousins together to open their gifts. (Anais' new thing is to preface her speech w/ "by the way...". "By the way, Mommy, I don't think I feel like taking a nap just yet" etc. I think I've procreated another word-lover.)
If we go, our Rossland # is 250-362-7068. Start memorizing it now! I haven't quite figured out how to retrieve our messages but promise to learn soon! Thanks for checking out our "Rossland Home" site! More Christmas/move updates to follow! C MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL !
