planned to start our errands with lunch at Sushi Cushi, only to discover that they open at 4 on Sundays;-(…

so, we decided to have dinner there instead…

the parking lot was jammed with cars and we wondered if we would get in, but happily, there were tables available…

sometimes we order and pick it up, but eating in is a treat;-)…

as always our food was delicious and we enjoyed every bite…

time to change the living room table…

put away the L O V E letters and found a beautiful spring scarf that my daughter gave me from her trip to Italy…

once the scarf was down, all of the seed packets we have went into the four squares…

then I put the driftwood with the dragonfly on it onto the table…

finally, cushions came down from upstairs and replaced the ones that had been on the sofa…

feels spring-y…

had lunch at Silver Heights Restaurant again today…

we had seen an item on the menu the last time we were there and wanted to come back and try it…

today there was no aquasize so we decided to go for lunch instead…

we had a Duke of Yorkie – shaved baron of beef, fried carmelized onion, mozzarella, horseradish mayo, on a giant Yorkshire pudding, served with au jus… with a shared side of onion rings…

it was delicious;-)…

cheers-ing…

went to our regular PTE play Saturday afternoon…

the parkade entrance was closed so we had to turn around and go in the exit… glad I wasn’t driving…

we were early so we sat down and shared a soft drink… as we were cheersing, a fellow theatregoer took a photo of us… reminded me of all the times I take photos of people at The Leaf, lol…

the play was interesting, but a bit long for my taste, or shall we say my bottom’s… after an hour and a half it feels as though the cushions give out, so two hours plus is difficult…

my buddy brought me cookies and two chocolates (individually wrapped)… toward the end of the play, I was smelling chocolate chip cookies and when I put my hand into my pocket I realized the chocolate had melted, yikes… ate the chocolate in the dark and then had to wipe down my hands which were a mess…

when I got home I checked out the pocket… took quite some time to get it clean… but the chocolate was tasty 😋…

floats…

last night we celebrated my beloved who departed fourteen years ago…

as always, some days it seems like yesterday, and others so long ago…

hamburgers and floats were eaten here and via the internet…

so thankful to have family around for these celebrations;-)…

I was wanting some comfort food recently and couldn’t think of what I wanted…

eventually I decided on Kraft Dinner… hadn’t had any in ages, but had a box in the pantry;-)…

it was delicious and just what I needed…

funny what can provide comfort when you are craving it…

thinking back to Tuesday’s pancake supper…

besides the lovely pancakes, I made a potato pancake with the last little bit of batter to which I added a shredded potato…

topped it with sour cream and a slice of bacon…

this continues to be my favourite pancake;-)…

as I was waiting for my ride to the pool for aquasize, I took a few photos…

this one is the Inukshuk in a circle in the snow… I need to find another piece of limestone to finish it off better, lol…

then a shot of the snow on the cedar branches at the front door…

we were happy to be going because last week we missed due to the Olympics, lol…

we were in the water for about ten minutes when an alarm went off… we were told to evacuate the pool and then to head to the lounge at the entrance and not to stop for our clothes or other items…

besides our class, there were at least two classes of school kids, as well as those who had been in the gym… quite a few people…

during all that time the alarms were ringing and lights were flashing… after about ten minutes a firetruck arrived and the firefighters headed to the back of the building…

another ten minutes or so went by and finally the lights and ringing stopped…

we headed back to the change rooms, dressed and left the building… as a treat we picked up bagels…

mine was quite delicious;-)…

also meant I made it home in time to watch the women’s free skate…

yesterday morning I started prepping for supper…

I sliced strawberries and then added sugar to macerate them…

later in the day I pulled out the pancake recipe from a well-worn cookbook and got the dry ingredients ready…

once my housemate brought home milk, I finished the mix and started cooking…

microwaved some bacon on the side and whipped the cream…

the first batch of pancakes came out perfectly… mine came from the second batch and may have been a bit darker, lol…

what a delicious dinner;-)…
