Well yesterday was Christmas and I have to one of the best that Matthew and I have spent together. We had a lovely relaxing day and a great evening as well and I took a day off from working here in the house.
Got up yesterday morning and sent off my Christmas text and well wishes to people. Then did laundry and emptied the dishwasher and made breakfast, nice and relaxing and perfect. Matt and I do not exchange gifts at all so we only got a gift from his parents and one from Wayne, lovely and beautiful gifts though!
I extended an olive branch yesterday and phoned my mom, we talked for a little while on the phone, not a long time but I have to say it was the best gift I could give myself was talking to her and hearing her voice again, it was not a long conversation but it was an amazing feeling after almost 7 months to just talk to her.
The we went to Xaviers and had Italian cake and Espresso , after that we went to Flora house for Christams dinner with her two children, it was a great dinner and an amazing time. After that home for a break and to play Tennis on the X Box and then over to Jeff and Mara for a drink. The perfect end to the perfect Christmas. Thank you to our fabulous neighbors one and all for making Christmas day and night so great. We are truly lucky to be here and live in a great neighborhood.
As for the house we are plugging along with things and slowly but surely getting it done. On Christmas Eve day I refinished the pot rack and got it down to the original metal and made ti look as if it were just welded and very industrial feel to it which fits the kitchen perfectly, Today I am going to do a bit of dry wall and the hopefully get around to painting the kitchen a second coat and maybe the bathroom if I can find some more white paint. Later I have to go over to mara and Jeff and get some wood and start to build a closet for the master bedroom and then move the dresser and wardrobe to my closet in the basement. I can now see the end of the house and work here in sight and man does that ever feel good.
I want to wish you all a great holiday season and may you have the best in and all you deserve in 2013.
