Try and keep things simple!

Today, we got a lot accomplished. Apparently, this is the busiest day on the road before Christmas, and we succeeded in many ways. We went to the podiatrist in Burnaby, so our feet are in great shape.

Then we went to a European deli, in Vancouver. I have a good stash of sausage meat for the turkey, and some delicious cold cuts that include salami and Hungarian paprika-sh head cheese. The latter is a gelled sandwich meat that is simply delicious. I managed to take some baking over to the neighbors. They are East Indian, and don't eat meat, not even eggs, so I hope the baking will be acceptable to them. My tables have been extended for the dinner we will have around the holiday's. Today, being the shortest day of the year, I will prepare some of the vegetables for the meal.. ie, peel potatoes, and get the stuffing veggies, and bread ready. The turkey is thawing in the fridge. I am also making bread from the frozen bread dough. I think Elephant Ears will be also something I will tackle tonight with the same dough. We garnish it with sour cream and lots of crushed garlic butter.  Tonight the temperature will cool off, so after a horrific windstorm of yesterday, we may get some snow tomorrow. This is what happened in White Rock, B.C. our Pier ripped apart at a famous tourist spot near the American Boarder. Please take care of yourselves, and don't put any expectations on others, and don't put any expectations on yourself. The Holiday's can be very challenging. just a wee note to say remember to take care of yourself this coming couple of weeks.
Try and keep things simple, no expectations, don’t let the family put  demands on you and try not to put demands on them.
Remember flexibility.
