Nanaimo

DH and I spent the day in Nanaimo with Mom and Baby Sister. In the evening we all went to the Milner Gardens where they were putting on a massive display of lights. It was absolutely lovely but next time we'll be taking flashlights with us. Some of the paths were pretty dark. Mom bought a basket made out of bull kelp and I got a small jar of crabapple jelly, made from the fruit trees in the gardens. Then we went out for dinner. We didn't get home until almost 11:00 pm. It was a great day. The weather cooperated and we exchanged Xmas gifts.
I was sick last week. Some flu bug I presume. I won't nauseate you with the details. I'm beat and as much as I'd like to catch up on reading some blogs my big comfy bed is calling to me and I think I'm babysitting someone tomorrow.

Sometimes that comfy bed is the only answer! I hope feel more rested. Oh, those lights must have been beautiful. I love lighting displays, but might not be getting to see any this year. Thankfully, my town does a nice job of lighting up it's main street and has a beautifully lit giant tree in the center of town and a neat lit up giant snowflake suspended over that same part of the main street. Driving or walking through town (and the multi-colored lit town next door) really is a treat at this time of year. Now, keep yourself rested and take care of yourself.

Here's hoping you are feeling better quickly. Busy time to be ill.
