Day 222 - Xmas party 2

Day 222 was another busy day at the ranch. I was up at 9 am on the phone for another hour with Telus yet again as no one showed up again! At quarter to 11 Britt and I headed to town where I dropped her at work. Soon after the snow started which continued thru the rest of the day and night. I stopped and did a bit of Christmas shopping buying my first 2 official gifts. I called Shaina from Tims where I picked us up hot teas and met her at the town house after her sleepover with Emily. I grabbed another small load form there and we then cruised back to the ranch.

Sheldon had found his way out of bed by now. I spent afternoon organizing and wiping down furniture. Shaina worked on her room with very slow progress. She was kind enough to do my hair for my Xmas party though.

neighbor horses stopping for evening visit after our Houdini horses opened the gate. At 5 we ventured out stopping at neighbor Matt's for a Xmas drink on the way to Cattle Barons in Calgary for my party. The roads did end up blustery in spots but we made it. Ten people did back out but 14 showed and lots of fun was had. Sheldon got us safely home by 3 am!
