Mcgrath sisters talk

  I was awake by 6:30, but the curling started at 7:00, so life is good. I cooked myself a chicken for Easter but it was kind of lonely sitting, eating by myself. Rodney popped in to check up on me. He was horrified that Rrain hasn’t been here since Christmas. I have accepted it☹️. But I got rid of another big chicken😊 by sending it home with him. He didn’t want eggs though☹️. I stocked up on everything when Jim was supposed to come home, so now I have stuff that needs to be used. Curling is at 7:00 tomorrow, but my physio is at 10. I have visions of leaving home at 9:45 with the score tied in the 10th☹️. I get a haircut on Tuesday (Hallelujah!) and then the news on Thursday, as well as an appointment with the gastroenterologist on Thursday afternoon. The golden years are so much fun🤪. But Friday is my goal!  A call with my sisters.  Love you♥️

  No word from Concordia, so they're on my list to phone.  I look around and realize that for all our efforts, there's still a lot of stuff to get rid of.  That's just depressing!!😠  My "to call" list is getting longer, as the stairlift is making funny noises--enough to concern me. I called last week and was told that the installer would call me to arrange an appointment, but there's been nothing heard.  I paid a lot of money for an extended warrantee, money that I'll lose when we move, so I want to get a bit back somehow.  I'm thinking that the lift will have to come out to get any furniture out of the basement when the time comes. David thought he was finished with dental appointment but we decided to go with a different way of attaching his lower denture, and this will require a couple more appointments and a revision to the lower denture.  So that saga continues.  Finding adequate food for him is as issue.  We're eating a lot of meat slo...

  So, Thursday Sam texted me to say he could get me a case of eggs, at $3 per dozen and they had 20 pounds of garlic and chive cheese. I asked for 10 pounds of cheese but I should have taken all of it cause it is all gone. I waited all morning for Sam to text me ( I didn’t want to text him cause I wasn’t sure if they had to go to church all weekend. )Anyway, I gave up and went to the dump and then to the legion. I ordered a  zero beer and sat down to watch the curling.  Guess who texted me as soon as I sat down. So I went to the colony to get the eggs and cheese. I headed back to town and just past my road I realized I needed egg cartons!  So back home and off to the legion. I was packing egg cartons out of the back of my car.  Sometimes I wonder!! Anyway, all the cheese is gone (no, I didn’t set any) and the rest of the eggs are at home. I played the machines out of boredom and lost. You’d think that I was so obliging the Gods would be nice to me, but noooo! ...

  Hello to you both, As I sit here at the computer with a cat snuggled on my lap, ( and a drink in my hand) I thought I would write a few words to offer some joy and wonder as we celebrate our Easter weekend. It was a bit of a coincidence today as I was going through boxes ( don't we all have damn boxes full of stuff to go through haha!) I stumbled upon a box with memorabilia from years past including items from my(our) Baptism and my Confirmation. And notes and gifts from Aunty Flo who was my (our) Sponsor. And other items from that era I received including my Bible from Mom and Dad, and my Birthday Book from Cathy. All had hand written notes in the front nicely so I could tell when and how and who. Boy, it brought back so many memories. Not nice today as it is really cool right now, so no outside work or greenhouse work. But it did not take long to fill my hours. I look at these boxes and have to decide is now the time to turf that which i do not want to keep or does it all get s...

  T his week I feel as though I'm running from mini-crisis to mini-crisis. No matter how I think my day is planned things move and change faster than I can react. More dental appointments.  Tuesday we were to the dentist for 8:45 am. Then home for an hour's sleep and off for an optometrist appointment at 12:10, for both of us, only to realize that there had been some confusion and we were almost an hour early. Dilation and scans and we were away just after 3:00.  We had planned to eat at the casino before the show we were to see.  Because of dilation we were travelling by cab, and had planned to take a cab to the casino so we could each have a drink during the show. So home we went from the clinic, had the cab wait while I went into the house to grab a different purse, and then off again to the casino.  Oh my, it felt so privileged to have a cab wait for me.   W hile we enjoyed the show, "The Music of Neil Diamond" after awhile the noise got to us and we de...

  Hello to you this Thursday morning, Just enjoying my early morning coffee and bowl of porridge thinking about weather or rather trying NOT to think about weather. Things were so much better a few weeks ago when we had no snow and the bare ground was visible all around and ones mind thought of the coming summer and ability to sit out. I even put two chairs on our patio and had lunch outside one day sitting in the sun, and did an early morning walkabout one early morning, with my coffee in hand. Not so right now. It keeps snowing and blowing and I keep having to shovel again. And the plough just went by again after another night of snow and cold. Keeps me busy trying to monitor the temps in both greenhouses.  The heavy and frequent wind gusts all day and last evening prompted me to get the two propane heaters at the ready in case I had to do a quick switch if the hydro went out. Fortunately that did not happen....but I was ready 😉 I watched the first half of Canada's Ladies C...

  Saturday morning greetings to you both, Let me say how opportune your call was yesterday for me. Feeling a bit "sorry for myself" at the time of the call, ponding "this and that" in my life as I was filling the washing machine and then the call came. I was fortunate that I had the android in my pocket, or I might have missed the ringing and the call. Although I expect you may have tried the land line (I hope) So we have managed to perfect our process meaning only that the three of us appeared on the screen and we could talk amongst ourselves freely. It can only get better...😁 So I wish you both a good weekend with fine weather although it appears that rain and snow are in the offing for my forecast here.  Take care and be good to yourself...XX   (ps wouldn't mind a bit of that Southern Comfort haha ☘️🥂)
