The Social

 Yes, the "game-playing" social was yesterday.  Loren had warned us that there was little parking, so we took a cab.  What a surprise when we pulled up at a samosa restaurant!  For some reason we had thought it was a private home, and I think there was a residence upstairs. It was on the riverbank, right across the Red River from our old home. Jeremy found us a table, a deck of cards, a crib board, and a couple of pieces of cake.  The hamburgers were being cooked on a b-b-q outside, with the men in Jeremy's family taking turns as "grill master". The noise volume inside was deafening, so much so that I didn't realize that the woman sitting behind me had a very tiny baby until we were leaving.  We stayed about an hour and a half, playing cribbage when neither of us could either shuffle or deal.  Amber, Darren and Samantha showed up shortly before we left, delayed by volleyball practice.  Jeremy and Denise did a "walk about" just after Amber and family arrived, so we were able to see and talk to them both. Loren let us know that both of you had sent something, and asked that I thank you.

Then we took a cab home, got the car and went out for the evening.

David is experiencing some problems with his dentures and we tried to get in to see the dentist today, without luck, but a "maybe" for 11:30 tomorrow. Meanwhile I'm expecting my friend Vivian from Pinawa, to pick up the pieces she bought, this afternoon. Since there has been no housework done since Friday, not even unloading the dishwasher (the evidence is piling up on the counter)I best get busy.  Last time Vivian was here, was the first day of demo in the kitchen and the stove was in the middle of the living room.  Ar-r-r-r-gh!

I'm good, just run off my feet these days. I think you may have tried to phone while we were out grocery shopping earlier in the week.  David hasn't been able to eat much, but we keep trying to find something he might be able to manage.  I think we're getting somewhere as he's now eating yogurt.  Never thought I'd see the day!

Stay safe ladies.

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...
