Bulk Barn ..bad mistake ..haha

 Greetings from here. Seems I am only doing garden / yard cleanup or walking the dogs or going shopping lately. But enjoying your blog messages when I log on to check. Since getting this new computer and switching to Windows 11, I have been in a constant state of panic and stress. Perhaps too strong a statement /sentiment, but it sure feels like it to me.  Another situation last evening had me calling the Geek Squad again and they took over remotely ( I love that they can do this, but also a bit scary that they can do this 😕) Solved for now, but what is to come next always in the back of my mind.

Back to the Bulk Barn. We went to Huntsville the other day and ventured into the Bulk Barn - long time since we were there. First thing I saw was a huge bin with sign that read Super Soft Ju Jubes. I literally filled a bag for myself. I love these, but they have to be chewy so I can enjoy them. Then i saw the baking section with fresh fruit peel so another container filled for me. I shall be making some rolls of refridgerator cookies to have on hand for when i need something to pull out quick and bake to comfort me. I had a ball looking around. Then I spotted an old coworker from my working days and we had a bit of a talk, and I got caught up on news about some of the others she associates with still. All in all a fine time for me.

Thinking of your "purging" Pati and wishing I could do the same purging like you.....but then I am not moving anytime soon either, and also have the outside to contend with right now.  Harry for some reason has decided to plant garlic again this fall. We used to do this a few years back but have not for several years.  Needs lots of space and needs special planting. That is set for today i think. Yesterday in preparation I had to move all the empty pots that i have been piling in the garden after i strip the tomatoes down. Then I had to cultivate the soil for planting the garlic buds. Hard to believe it is the end of September already and I have barely touched what needs to be done  outside to prepare for Winter, and shoveling snow etc.  Maybe Winter will not come this year..do you think?

Time for some breakfast and get on with the day. Thinking of you both......please take care...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...
