It's Beginning to Look a lot like...


CHRISTMAS! We were eager this year and put up the tree the last weekend in November. Combined with the snazzy electric fireplace we bought for our living room a few weeks back, it's looking pretty festive here right now. Next on the list is a piece for our front door, and finishing the Christmas shopping. Cookie exchange is set for this weekend. I'll be doing my mom's traditional Midnight Mint Chocolate Squares.

I took my class to Burnaby Village Museum this past week on a field trip and they had a great time. I was absolutely stuck by one house display when I eyed this beautiful old clock EXACTLY like the one my Grampy Wilcox had on his mantel for years. It's eerie when things like this happen to give you a little reminder that just because those you love aren't 'around' anymore, they still have ways of sneaking into the present when you least expect it.
