Another light dusting of snow fell thru the night ...

performed in our little town ...

 

 

An Afternoon at the Symphony ...

December 4, 2016

Oma and I enjoyed a lovely afternoon ... at the Symphony of the Kootenays ...

Opening up the show with a 4 concert stroll ...

thru Vivaldi's iconic Four Seasons ... these were lovely ... movie pieces ...

Then next on the program was ...

"Stealing Back the Holidays" with Allison Girvan of Nelson ... presenting the season's best Christmas songs ... which were arranged for a vocal soloists and Symphony Orchestra ...

After the intermission ...celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Christmas television debut ...

of Dr.Seuss" classic "How The Grinch Stole Christmas" ...

featuring the Selkirk Secondary School's Who-ville choir ... as the story was narrated by Michael Jones of Kimberely ...

This was a beautiful beginning to our Christmas season ... now Let it Snow ... !!!

 

The snow had begun to fall ... when we left the theatre ...

It was an interesting drive home ... very ... s l o w ...

Compact ... slippery ... deep snow ... blizzard conditions ...

It was difficult to find our road to turn off on ...

but

both Mike and I made it home safely ... as we were driving 2 vehicles ...

At the rate it was falling ... we're sure to have a good 8-10 inches of snow ...

before it would stop ...

What a difference from yesterday ... waking up to snow ...

it was a beautiful day here in the valley ...

Perfect day to dig up more potatoes ... and also sweet potatoes ...

Another beautiful day to get firewood ...

Our new splitter is wonderful to work with ...

If the logs are too large in diameter to lift up onto the splitter ...

we can unlock it and stand it up ...

so that the sledge will come down on the log ... in a vertical manner ...

 

 

Oma and her friends ...

made it in the local newspaper ...

from their Scooter Race event for the Alzheimer Fund Raiser ...

Oma and I were going to the theatre ...

to watch the live production of ...

"Les Ballets Jass Du Montreal"

It was a spectacular ... amazing show ... !!!

(I had acquired these tickets from the Silent Auction from the Alzheimer event)
