And welcome back to that sounds fun.

Funny this morning I was talking to someone and they said what's your day look like and I said I'm talking to Annie and they said oh that's fun.

I loved and like yes that sounds fun.

It happens a lot. I mean the reason the show has that name is because it's something I naturally say but people feel so embarrassed and where they'll be like oh that sounds fun. Oh I'm so sorry. I'm like no I love that.

That is how it should be.

Okay and tell me how the holidays were for you up in Canada.

Oh my goodness Annie we got like three feet of snow and we're buried in a bliss actually roads closed down on the 23rd of December and did not open up until what is that the the 20 the morning of the 27th.

Oh my gosh snowed in for like yes no snow plows on the road like it was like you're trying not to feel a little claustrophobic because it was like 10 of us in the house starting on well I guess my oldest son and his daughter got here Thursday morning so everybody was together from Thursday morning until Monday afternoon before the roads opened up again so like we were.

So it was like a really my mother was here for Christmas and we all said you know it will never have a Christmas like this where like we are just like together.

Did you just happen to have enough food to feed everyone that long and well they were such a good question because everybody actually was really beautiful because normally you can like shop up until Christmas Eve but everybody had to have their shopping done by the 22nd so the stores were everything first stores were crazy but everybody stalked up and I had actually my daughter was very happy.

My daughter was very impressive man all my recipes for every meal all printed out and labeled in a folder because I knew I was feeding people and yes for a week almost exactly exactly and stomping out through like snow between my knee and my thigh to feed the sheep.

Oh my gosh and yes like it was so everybody keeps going on their chores because you still have to keep all the animals alive.

You have to get out to the barn and in out and it like and the snowblower is not going to so it's really it was a very intense experience.
