Tornado watch for Winnipeg

 Yes, it happened here on Wednesday afternoon.  I heard it on the radio just as I was arriving in Lorette.  Nothing happened, obviously. I know you get a lot of such watches and warnings out your way Cathy.  Brandon appears to be a magnet for them.

My group on Wednesday went well.  I made amends with a lady with whom I "had words" the week before, and had a discussion with a very experienced Metis beader, who appears to be a very knowledgeable lady, and with whom I hope to spend more time.

Thursday was "power cooking" day--Beef stew, ribs, meat patties, and lots of discussion regarding cooking methods.  I think I mentioned previously that the freezer was empty of everything except chicken.  I had half hoped to defrost it, but with it now partially filled again, that option has been avoided.  We've been carefully pacing our work.  With yesterday being laundry day, there is still a bit of clean-up in the kitchen, left to do from Thursday, but the amount is small enough to ignore, until later today.  Lately, we've been buying Hagen Das Ice cream when ever it's on sale, so I never have to worry about dessert.

It's now going up 1:00.  David just brought up a load of dry laundry for me to sort out and put away, and has put on the load of towels that didn't get done yesterday.  I guess he's going to make me get to work whether I want to or not.  I do want to spend some time downstairs today so best I get dressed and get at it.

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...
