Random Thoughts

I just phoned the car hire company to let them know that we will be keeping the car for another couple of days, we will be taking MIL back tomorrow, so will return the car Thursday, and there was no reply! I expect that they are not open today, which is weird considering I was supposed to take the car back today, and haven't paid for it yet! But that is up to them. So I left a message after the beeps, if that was an answer phone, and if it wasn't then that is not my problem. But it is a little weird that they don't have a proper answerphone, or that they are closed on that day. There was no mention of it when I took the car out!

Anyway, today we are going to head into town to a Dim Sum restaurant in China Town, to see what it is like. If it doesn't work out we will go to the Forks for lunch. We will go to the Forks anyway, because MIL loves it there. It is a very nice place I have to admit. It reminds me of Covent Garden in London, except it is indoors, and much cleaner. But the idea is still there. Apparently we will be heading up the tower so that MIL can look out at the snow covered scenery. She loves the snow. I think that she was secretly hoping to be snowed in here, but we haven't had that much snow. Anyway, we will take her there today, and hopefully she will have a good time. She doesn't want to be a pain in the bum (she says) but doesn't realise that she isn't being a pain, we enjoy doing stuff like that too. Last night we went to the Winter Wonderland Lights, out at the Red River Exhibition Park. She was on the verge of saying that she didn't want to go, but I said I wanted to go, so we went. She had a good time. It was a very beautiful display too, much better than the one I went to in Maryland 2 years ago. The light displays were more solid looking, and less bent into shape looking. They had a lot of new ones too, which was nice as MIL and K had been last year. But I suspect that you wouldn't get bored of seeing the lights even if they were the same every year. The car ahead of us was taking pictures of the lights, but they had the flash on! So I expect that their pics will come out looking like the lights aren't on! LOL talk about dumb.

Samantha came by today, but didn't ask for food, she has been stealing the food that we put out for the bunny, and just now the HUGEST crow/raven came by and took some of the bread that is out there. So the animals are happy too. Joy to the world.
