Nice "title" Cathy...

Good morning,

 It took me a minute to appreciate it but that was because I was still in a fog from early rise and taking the dogs out in very cold conditions. Also I had my coffee to make and enjoy yet. Good excuse?

I am so excited to seeing our new Blog and anxious to start to fill in the lines and share what we do. Do not expect much from this writer though unless you enjoy hearing about my woes with the greenhouse and shoveling snow haha!  When will this snow end. Looking at the long range forecast over next two weeks for Sundridge I see nothing but flurries, snow, and more flurries.We were too fast way back tin November and December to brag about having no snow and perhaps a green winter....NOT.

The visit to Physio yesterday left me exhausted from the workout and yet, exhilarated from the encouragement given. I am improving. yeah! I have four new exercises to do but some of the previous ones have been eliminated in my daily routine.

We continue to look in boxes and purge best we can. I have two Rubbermaid containers of fabric to give away to a lady. I have kept some of course as Pati you say you have plans for some of your stash hidden away. I see a piece and imagine what I could do possibly for a future project but I am also very aware that reality often steps in and decides for me. In other words...it ain't going to happen.

The Air Fryer is getting a real workout as well. Yesterday i made onion rings at Harry's request. They were OK but i can see where i must adjust some recipes to our better liking. The day before we made vegetable kebobs and they were good. i have yet to make a substantial meal but took some pork loin chops out from the freezer and plan to marinate and do in the Fryer. Mike made some pork shoulder steaks for us when we went last week and they were delicious so I would like to replicate those if I can. We have also made potatoes which were good. 

Time for breakfast and onto my daily exercises. Hope you have a great day. And anxious to follow all our sharing on the new blog. Take care and stay warm. 👪

The energy-sucking garage sale panic is over.

  We both made it through the day without faltering, very much looking forward to a good nap once things were over.  But then were so high couldn't sleep.  Both Loren and Amber were there to help us, with Amber stopping at Tim's for breakfast on her way.   I was up and immediately dressed at 7:00 (Omg!  It even hurts to be able to say that)  Then off in the car to set up 5 signs.  Of course, each stop one has to find a place to park, get out of the car, place the sign, and reverse the process.  That finished, I parked in the mall across the way, pulled my walker out of the car, and trudged off home.  I was so glad to have the walker during the day, mainly because the float was hidden in the small zipper compartment in the walker and I sat on it most of the day.  We moved the patio table and umbrella to the front yard.  Amber and I spent most of the day there, while Loren and Dave spent their time in the garage, until later in t...

Baking

  Yesterday I forgot to mention that I've become concerned about how much money we've been spending on muffins.  So I decided to try baking them on my own.  We got rid of all my baking pans at the garage sale so had to make a trip to Dollarama for a new one.  It's silicone and soft and wiggly, but also dishwasher safe.  I've made some Blueberry muffins that didn't rise very well.  Turned out the baking powder was over a year past it's "best before" date.  Went out and bought more. I've found recipes on-line for Banana Chocolate Chip, Chocolate, and another Blueberry that uses frozen berries rather than thawed--great--as all of mine are Frozen.  I'm also going to look for a recipe for Bran, but not today.

OMG! It's been almost a week since I posted!

  The priority over the weekend was concern about David's driver's license.  He got the letter on Friday telling him that his license was being revoked, and he was to surrender the actual license by today at the latest.  The letter also included some good information on options including a special assessment process called "DriveABLE.  David had to wait until yesterday to call them, but wasn't able to get an appointment for the re-assessment until May 3rd.  So, while we were out yesterday, he went in and "did the deed".  Sort of a sad time around here, but at least there is hope. This all meant a quiet week end, spent mainly at home, but this also meant a bit more studio time than usual.  A significant number of the pieces for the new EPP piece have been cut and put in Zip-loc bags for future basting and sewing together.  This will be my work for the group in Lorette for the foreseeable future.  Today was also the day for my monthly Zoom meet...
