Telling you what i am up to...

 Not much really but nice to read both of your messages. I am suffering through a nasty cold...haven't had a cold for ages but here it is in full force. I want to put a sling under my nose to catch the drips which are running constantly. I know, too much info!

Taking time outside to clean up and filling brown leaf bags and clearing some of the flower beds. It is so nice to see the flowers coming up -the primroses are especially gorgeous this year and so glad i am uncovering them from their cover of last falls dead leaves. Of special note is my rhubarb - I have never seen it come up so well and big full leaves with stocky stocks already just begging me to think of all the baking I could do. I know I still have jam in the basement so i wonder now if I will not do any this year. No point in stocking up but then, I have not been using it much either. Maybe I should treat myself to some jam on toast for breakfast... yummy.

One thing I am remiss on lately is my daily exercises and for that i fear i shall suffer as well. I am told I must do them regularly and consistently or I may regress quickly. I feel I am regressing already...shame on me. 

I am still reading the Free Press every morning and enjoy it only for my own sake to try to keep up with current developments although it will never impact my life. I cannot ever see coming back to Winnipeg again as things go here. But I can dream can't I.... Another thing I have done is review what i am actually able to watch on the net as my time there is limited. i finally after much internal discussion with myself... deleted all of the Last Homely House . I really liked that show until it was evident that it was getting too "haughty taughty." (?sp) And you know, I do not miss it. So all I have now related to that genre, is The Quilt Show, and since I have paid for that pleasure, I try to watch what i can, when I can. But I still have my books...taking me a long time though per book as i only have a few moments each night before lights out to enjoy ( my eyes get sleepy)

Take care both of you..and thinking of you always.. 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...
