Oh the weather outside is frightful

Some photos of the storm that has hit Montreal - 46 centimeters ( 18 inches ) and more expected!
It's broken records -

Hey buddy - get some winter clothes on!

I ASKED you to pick up milk on your way home from work yesterday!

I've got to get to work - must get to work - God help me - I need to get to work

How to get to the pub in a snow storm - the submitter of the photo's caption - not mine lol - brilliant!

Can I come in now Mom ?  I'm tired of playing in the snow

 

It's a beautiful day in the neighbourhood

O.M.G. - I dropped my keys!!!
 


BUT before we whine and complain - take a look at what got dumped in Watertown N.Y
146 inches in 2 weeks - now that's a lot of shoveling

And on a final note -

Is anyone else as excited as I am about this?
I can't tell you how much I love this show!


 Downton Abbey, Season 3 — The Phenomenon Lives On!


The acclaimed cast returns with guest star Shirley MacLaine
January 6, 2013 on PBS



I. CAN. NOT. WAIT.
I think I did a post not that long ago lamenting the lack of snow in Montreal ;)

Morning has broken

Well sort of - this is what I awoke to this morning



Oh wait - I just had a great idea!!!

John says - what the hell are you doing?
Suzan says - I see a great photo op !
John says - are you crazy?  No one is out there - there's a blizzard
Suzan says - I just want to put this on the bench - how can I do it without putting footprints
on the balcony?
John says - Use your broom and fly out there
Suzan says - Merry 2 days after Christmas John -
John says - Put a sign out for the mail man Suzan - ask him to throw the mail and you'll catch it - and
then explain that you prefer not to have foot prints on the snow.........................


and 10 minutes later just to keep things in perspective


My work at Evita's was cancelled today - she has to be at her shop - and she's leaving on the weekend for a couple ( few? ) weeks - so work has been delayed at her place.

I get to enjoy this for a little while longer



Suzan says - You have to walk Soda
John says - Nah - think I'll let you do that this morning
Suzan says - You know the rules John - I take care of what goes in her
John says - yeah, yeah - I take care of what comes out
John says - why do I get all the shitty jobs?
Suzan says - because I'm the one that makes the house look cozy to come back into



Suzan says - and I'm the one that made sure there's a fresh pot of home made Turkey soup for lunch


Suzan says - And I'm the one who made you a belated Christmas Breakfast


John's son's wife's parents gave us some home made jams - John says they were delish  - I was too full to try them
but apparently these will be good for another 20,000 years tee hee - do you see the date?
I only noticed it when I downloaded the photo




 Suzan says - and I'm the one that makes you a hot cup of tea to take the chill off



John says - Well I'd like to switch places with those rules
Suzan says - Oh no - impossible - you can't just change the rules in the middle of the game
Suzan says - Sorry about that buddy
Suzan says - Here's your boots
Suzan says - and take the garbage with you on your way out please


John says - did you just take a picture of my boots?
Suzan says - Yup
John says - another photo op?
Suzan says - Yup
John says - you didn't include the garbage, did you?
Suzan says - Yup
John says - I'm going to start taking photos of you taking photos -
John says - I can guarantee you you're the only one who puts photos of garbage on her blog, really, it's insane
John says - Can you please tell everyone that YOU bought those boots for me - and that I hate them -
I absolutely hate them
Suzan says - well they do the job don't they
John says - Suzan gets her boots in Paris - and John gets his from a big box crap store where everything's made in China -
John says - tell everyone that you bought the wrong size - and I almost lose one of them every time I walk the dog
John says - tell everyone that I absolutely hate them
Suzan says - you're repeating yourself again
John says - Well I do - I can't stand them
Suzan says - Can you please put them on and walk the dog?
Suzan says - and later today can you deliver Turkey soup to all the kids?
Suzan says - I have to take some photos of my Christmas presents - out of my way !
Suzan says - and why do you have to follow me around while I take photos anyway?

vintage inspired dress form from my daughter and SIL

Vintage inspired cd player / radio from my son


Vintage inspired shoe ( bank ) with a gift certificate ( think I'll buy something vintage ) from my other daughter.
And lots of other goodies including the Keep Calm and Carry on Cup set above from another of John's son's wife

Suzan says - Do you want to play scrabble today by the fire?
John says - that sounds like a plan
Suzan says - I'll set it up
Suzan says - but we can only play after you


You all have a beautiful day -
John's off to WALK THE DOG  ( I HOPE..........................)
Much love,

Partying with:
