Biding the time until weather improves

 Not too much one can do outside these days except wait for the temperatures to rise and the sun to shine. Will not happen soon from reading the forecast. But then i read about your weather and snow piles and have to thank my lucky stars we are not in the same boat.

I had fun reading the Free Press this morning and the feature article with pictures about the renovations to occur at the old The Bay store (many thanks again Pati, for opportunity to be able to read the article in their entirety.) The inside tour by the photographer took us from floor to floor and eventually to the Paddlewheel. Included pictures of the elevators and bathrooms as well, just for our pleasure and remembrance haha! What I noticed with great dismay though was how much the interior had deteriorated from misuse and abuse. I sure hope that the imagined renewal will materialize as planned. 

Bailey dog sure had us running and worrying last week culminating in two surgeries and three Vet visits and a really nice, big, fat bill. I do not think he is better yet, and just had him out again without passing his water. Good thing the Vet is back in his clinic tomorrow after being off for the weekend. Animals can sure take a lot out of you as I am feeling really whipped (and useless most of time) 

Take care for now. Last week of April coming on and hoping that May will really bring flowers and sunshine. Be good.

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...
