So this is what you do when you (literally) have too much time on your hands........

Just shows you how creative you can get with a toothpick!!

Had a wonderful dinner last nite at the Charette restaurant, La Villageouis - Randy had the special and it was the best steak he has ever had in Canada!!!  usually they are pretty thin but this was great!
I had the fish almondine (it is a fish called dore - it is mild like a tilapia) as did Melanie and Renelle.  Claude had 2 different meals - guessing he is tired of his diet and wanted to splurge!  we even had wine!!  Lots of dog talk about training and going to Laconia.  It is Renelle's favorite race because she loves the shopping there!  We are leaving Thursday morning as are they.  They are also taking Patrick's parents (Louise and Yves) and Claude's sister Collete and her husband.  There may be more than that but I know at least Hermel will also be there - quite a table full of people to feed Thursday through Sunday!
This morning the temperature is more moderate (17) but it is blowing and snowing.  We are situated in the middle of farm land with lots of open fields so you can really see the snow and wind whipping around!  Randy just took a snow machine out pulling 3 tires with chains behind it to see if he can open a path with not-too-deep snow to take everybody out for a fun run again today.  I also told Renelle that I was going to come up to the house and do some laundry...........lots to do!!!
