Blog 3 of December

Ahhh, I can feel the warm weather already.  The temperature warmed up considerably today.  We got to a high of - 17 c.

Really, although it feels somewhat colder with a windchill.  But considering Friday's temperature was 7 degree's colder, as you can see from my car.  The -28 was when I went to work at 8:30 am to my pre-school job and the second picture of - 24 is when I went to my card job at 11:30 a.m. And from what I remember it didn't get much warmer that that.
  I spent Saturday catching up on paper work during the day.  Bill and I went on a date night for dinner and than watched a movie at home.  If you haven't seen Burlesque with Cher, and Christina Agruillara, you should watch it.  I love the sound track.
  Today I went to work in the morning and then spent the afternoon making wontons.  Ashley and Ethan ate the last batch, so I thought I better fill up the freezer once again.  The son will be home is a few days, and the fridge and freezer are pretty empty.
  I also started cleaning out my closet.  I came across to items that I have never worn.  The first is a dress that belonged to my mom.

Mom received this dress from a neighbor when we lived in Okotoks; so that had to be at least 50 some odd years ago.  Mom never wore the dress (she said it wasn't her style)  So she gave the dress to her Mom, Grandma Fraser.  Some how the dress got back to mom and she in turn gave it to me a long time ago, before I was married in fact.  I have always loved this dress, but it has a tear in the skirt and the material is so fragile.  I don't want to part with it, but I'm not sure what to do with it.
    Another item is a skirt that my same grandmother gave me.

Again, it was hers and as you can tell by the tiny waist (the size of the pant hanger), I don't think it would fit.  It holds sentimental value and it is in great condition.  What to do with it.  I spoke to Mom on the phone and she suggested I give the dress and skirt to a group of actors.  Hmm.  I'll have to think about that one - I thought for sure she would have more sentimental attachment to these items than me.  It's funny what's important to one person and not to another.
  So I'm ready for the work week.  It's going to be a busy one.  Christmas is coming, if you were curious.  Got to get the cards finished, presents ordered (on-line shopping) and parcels mailed.
Stay warm.
