Friday and still dodging the heat, are we?

 The skies here are overcast and so I am wondering if the forecast thunder storm is really coming our way. Otherwise we are just as hot, hot, hot as you folks. However, it is outside work that still captures my attention.

I took our vehicle to the garage this morning for change of tires and oil change ( I know its a little late for tires but so be it....) and I was given a loaner - an Impala to drive home. Sometimes I am not offered this option depending on availability and so have to stay there and read. In the past it was my habit to walk back home down the highway ...a fair bit actually. But I no longer can manage that trek.  So I am here now at home doing the chores and appreciate not having to perhaps "waste a few hours" at the dealership, although sometimes I do appreciate that time alone. Too much on the plate these days to sit and read and idling dream into space haha!

A few more chores on my way home again once I get our vehicle such as going to the Library to pick up the next Kelly Armstrong book following A Rip In Time.  The Library just called me - I never order these but somehow they have my number on speed dial haha! I also have to pick up Rx at the Pharmacy. A new Thrift Store opened here in Sundridge a week or so ago, and I am interested in going in to see if i can buy a few summer tops. I thought of going to a Giant Tiger Store - there is a new one opening in Huntsville today right beside the Dollarama and Pati you said you have been lucky to pick up a few nice tops at your Giant Tiger so thought I would also take a look.  But this one in Sundridge may also have something...or not.

So life carries on here. So many tomatoes to plant. But I have also had a chance to plant flowers of my choice on my own here and there. It is the flowers that i cherish and not so much all the tomatoes although all the many plants of Kale we have is coming in handy for me to pick each day to feed the rabbit.

Take care and try to stay cool. Eventually this heat wave will fade away..I hope. Thinking of you both .... XX

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...
