If you asked us here in Nova Scotia and all of the Maritimes for that matter if it looks like or feels like a month before Christmas we would all have to gratefully and joyfully say it sure doesn't. Yesterday was an absolutely beautiful, sunny 12 degrees or so and today San and I just got back from walking Jake and it is overcast but we were more than warm enough with just a hoodie on.
However even though the weather doesn't look like it Christmas is fast approaching. San and I braved the malls and did some shopping yesterday and next Saturday December 2nd, Trish and Joe are coming over for the day and we will decorate the house and the tree and they will stay for supper and maybe I will convince them to stay the night.
Thank you all for your inquiries about Mom. We still have no firm answers. She is still in the Yarmouth hospital. She has been there a month now. She had an MRI on Friday and when the results are read by a specialist here in Halifax they will be better able they say to give us a prognosis of what is actually going on. Right now she is still on oxygen because her blood is low and not carrying the oxygen through her body properly. This week she has also had three i.v.'s of iron. She is eating well and is in no pain now so that is a good thing. I will keep you posted as I find writing about it on here helps me come to grips with it.
On a lighter note, as I just said San and I just got back from walking Jake. Because of some rain we had last night there were some muddy spots where we walked him so needless to say his underbelly and legs were pretty dirty when we got home. I got the hose out and San held him while I sprayed him. After I finished I was winding up the hose and hadn't turned it off at the faucet. When it got to the end of course and pressure was put on the nozzle out came the spray. Three guesses who was standing in front of it wiping Jake off. Yep, Sandra. We got a good laugh out of it anyways.
We had a problem this weekend with our water. It was a big problem actually. We had no water at all. Of course it being a Saturday meant a hassle finding an emergency plumber but Ralph finally did. The pressure gauge on the tank in the garage had broken and it had to be replaced. Let's not talk about what it cost. Outrageous. I should have been a plumber. Anywho we have water again and all is right in the Murphys world again. Take care all of you who are reading this blog and here is a little quote about this time of year that I thought was appropriate.

Nice to hear your Mom is not in pain. So the crunch will come when you get the results from the MIR. Yes, our weather is beautiful compared to out West, can't believe the snow in BC, WOW! Cole turned 14 years, he is already talking about when he gets his driving license. TTYS., Love Flo
The weather is crazy here. It is 9:30 at night and it is 12 C on November 29th. It is hard to get in the Christmas spirit. I like snow for Christmas. The girls are in 2 Christmas parades this weekend. We put our tree up last weekend because Jessica was asking every day to put it up. We usually wait until Dec.
Love Carla
