When I opened the blinds this morning I was very happy to see that the driveway was clear --- no shoveling this morning. It did snow during the day but not enough to warrant getting the shovel out.

The neighbours on the corner had a Christmas Open House this afternoon for neighbours and friends. What a nice way to spend an afternoon. After the open house, six of us walked downtown (two drove) for dinner. It was a great way to burn off the french fries.
