We are getting ready to head to Montreal today for Cirque du Soleil!! After Blake got our tickets, and made our hotel reservation, (all non-refundable), he started feeling like he was coming down with a cold. He has been going to work throughout the week, ingesting some serious vitamin C and TheraFlu, and going to bed really early in hopes of feeling better. It seemed that he was progressively getting worse, and stayed home from work on Friday. We were planning on going to Montreal early to explore, but now it looks as though we will be going later in the day, in time to catch the show and then going straight to the hotel for a romantic evening of sniffling, sneezing, coughing, and SLEEP!! Poor Blake. Hopefully he is still able to enjoy himself. Our plan was to drive to Blake's parents house on Sunday, and stay for a few days through Christmas. We may end up coming home, resting up for a couple days, and then going to the parental homestead for Christmas day. 
We have had a couple of snow storms, and have had 30+ inches of snow accumulation for the month of December. This is in the top 10 for snowiest December's on record. According to the Farmer's Almanac, we are in for a pretty brutal winter. I think it might be fun to have a really snowy winter. I haven't experienced one for quite some time. I was watching a show on public television about Vermont history, and there was an older gentleman talking about the winters he experienced as a boy. He remembered times when you couldn't see out the first floor windows of his house because the snow was so deep. Okay, that would be a bit much. I couldn't imagine digging myself out of the house, or being marooned for several days, unable to go anywhere. But, a white Christmas will be nice. And, for now, it sure looks beautiful.
