The Canucks Co
Happy Sunday, Canucklings!
So, it's obviously time for another round of ramblings.
I'm having a somewhat difficult time with death 'n stuff right now. Time of the year, I reckon. Lot's and lots of dreams of my mom (would have been her b-day this week) and Sophie, too. I don't like this. A bitter sweet moment last night when I moved Sophie into the barn... if only in spirit. Her picture and her stall name plate went up on the wall opposite the horse stalls.
Later today, I'm expecting son and g/f to come and cut down their first Christmas tree. I'll go with them - just to make sure they're not taking the one I've pegged for this year :H It's getting slim pickin' out there and we have to meander farther from the house to find something half decent these days.
In other news... I'm thoroughly peeved. I can't bake MY Christmas cookies because I can't find Vanilla Sugar anywhere. I can't even find simple Vanilla sticks to make my own. FFS. The draw back of living in the woods, I suppose. I'll go through some of my books today and see what else I'd like to bake. Still, really disappointed. Walmart used to carry the vanilla sugar packets but don't this year
And I didn't even look when I was in the big smoke - figured I can always get vanilla sticks at the grocery store. NOT.
Anywhoo. I should get moving. I have a ton of sanding and then finishing to do in the feed/tack room. Mr. Wonderful is working on plumbing today. With any luck we'll have proper running water inside the ban by the end of the day.
Little Houdini aka Atlas has been staying put; I think even just that one day of the fence being charged 'reminded' him why he should keep his distance :H I'm hoping that I can turn it on for a few hours today as well (it's a solar unit but not working so well when covered in snow
).
Ok, enough of this. A bit more coffee and I should be good to go. Have a happy Sunday!
