An update of sorts....

 Hello to you both on another Sunday, and the start of another week. And a real countdown for you Pati as you mention in your message. No real updates from me as each day seems to come and go...that old saying "same old, same old" 🙄

The weather is very strange - one minute sun, next minute rain and vice versa. However the Annual Sundridge Sunflower Festival was held yesterday to millions of attendees evidenced in seeing cars everywhere up and down the side streets and in any space to park and over at the Arena where a shuttle bus worked back and forth all day. I myself, did not attend - happy to stay home 🤪The entire Main Street was closed to traffic and there were booths and tents and displays set up all along each side of the road and then also down to the waterfront - food , displays, rides and crafts and much to my taste buds delight, a fudge stand from which Harry bought a huge chunk of Ginger/Molasses soft delicious fudge. Hard to keep my hands from going into the container haha! The few times the clouds and rain came in, did not seem to bother anyone. A big difference from last years festival where unfortunately the Committee had to call an end and order breakdown of stalls because of torrential rain. What a shame to have had to end it as it is a special event each year and draws folks from all over. Glad it worked out this year.

Just dehydrated a bunch of cat nip plants that we grew....and it made a big dish of the powered stuff for our cats to enjoy. I have already done down lots of herbs for my use over the winter and may do more.  However today demanded  that I vacuum and scrub floors and clean bathrooms and kitchens. If time allows I would like to start to trim the 20 quilt blocks I finished and maybe try to sew some together. Eager to see what it may look like sewn to make the top. On the other hand, I may just like to go outside and putter. I have finished my Library books so do not have a pressing need to read right now. Must get into the library this week and pick or order more books.

So here to us... take care and be kind to yourself.  💕❤️

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...
