We are having a nice holiday time. Our friend Albert visited on Christmas Eve and he stayed through Boxing Day (2nd Christmas). On Christmas day we had a few presents under the tree to open, and new toys for the dogs to rip apart. Rob and Al made coq au vin and our new neighbour Yvonne joined us for dinner. We stayed up late listening to music and playing instruments with the dogs. Now its time for a bit of quiet and getting a few things done around the house.
