Hockey Night in Belleville

Well... for starters, sorry I haven't blogged much this week.... have been pushing to get as much work done as I can, so I can take some time off next week.... that, and Christmas shopping, etc etc.

Today, i was in Minden area in the morning, and in Beaverton in the afternoon... am getting to see lots of Beautiful country side lately...

Then came to Belleville for supper with my folks... I was late getting packed up in Peterborough, and phoned just before 6 to say " Eat without me "
cause I'm gonna be late..... stopped in Hastings for fuel, stopped at the Future Shop for a couple of minutes, went to Staples to exchange something.... and finally got to my parents house at 8 ... and guess what? They'd waited to eat... oops !! Man did I feel like a dork....
supper was worth the wait, though.... Sea Food Linguini.. home made, by my mom... with shrimp, smoked oysters and hmmm something else... I can't remember what... hubba hubba... sure was good.

After supper, Dad and I went to the basement to tackle his Family Christmas Present ... he bought one of those big hockey table games, at Costco.....

Dad had started it last night, and tonight, we were 2 1/2 hours working on it together.... when all was said and done, dad and I had a game.... I lost 2-0 and came upstairs pouting... !!

















It is a way neat game.....











when we finished, I was helping dad sort out all the empty cardboard and plastic wrap.. and I noticed THIS on the box....





YEAH RIGHT!!! Fast!!
6 man hours it was getting put together....
However, it was worth every second of it!!









Out of curiosity, I counted up the parts from the parts list... 571 pieces.....

wicked eh?? anyway, dad and I are proud of ourselves!!!
