Jokes on me...

 It seems that since I have started this cleaning up process ( that Pati has gone through for more than a year now) my messages have had a focus on same. Hope you will not be too bored but it seems to be my life these days. I was bragging about having found a "new" home for 2 rubber made containers and another box full of fabric, and bags of wool and bags of batting. Yesterday i ventured into another area of the basement and found two more rubber made containers of fabric and another bag of scraps. Oh boy! And I have found more boxes and bags full of the little packages of cut wool meant to be used for making hooked rugs. Even though I am keeping the rug supplies for now with the idea that I might do some more rugs when the dust settles,.. it is taking over the basement. Don't be shocked but your sister may have to become a full time Hooker! 😚

On another note, I mentioned that my hairdresser retired and closed her shop in December leaving me without. I knew of two other shops in the village but did not know them or anything about them. Yesterday i had to go to Foodland and this store is attached to a little strip mall along it's side which contains a Natural Food/clothing/gift store, a Spa and a Hair Salon. So I walked into the Hair salon and was greeted by a very nice lady when I asked for a card because I was looking for a new hairdresser. She also will do hair permanents ( which my other one could not do because of her allergies) I was impressed and think that this will be my approach. I'll get a haircut first to check it out, and then when my hair grows a bit more will get a permanent done for the summer.  I was quite happy with how things turned out.

Well, low nights temps this week to come and snow so I guess I will be busy with keeping the greenhouses functioning. Take care folks and think Spring. Actually do a dance along with me and maybe we will make a difference together. 👪

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.

Yes. It is Sunday again

  Time keeps passing. Faster and faster every day. We had freezing rain last night and this morning but it seems to have stopped for now, but that damp chill goes right through me!  Lucky and Ally are both sleeping so is almost like having time to myself. I did walk Lucky this morning but we stayed off the road. We went around the trail cause it wasn’t icy. Less dangerous for both of us. I snuggled down this weekend but I will have to venture out tomorrow.  Hopefully the roads will be clear. They don’t look bad right now so it is promising. I get my flu shot on Wednesday and Ally has a vet appointment on Friday. And I’m going to call for a lawyer appointment tomorrow.  Chloe is going to have her “old people” birthday party on the 18th. Kik and I will go together. And I told Kik I would go to Winnipeg with her on the 14th. I hate the time change. I was awake very early this morning, even though Lucky stayed sleeping until 6:30!  It’s just going to be an extra lon...
