today would have been my beloved’s seventy-sixth birthday…
I have come across a few lovely memories…
from visiting beaches, playing with grandkids, eating with family, cold weather fun, to barbecuing dinner…
such wonderful memories…
tonight burgers were eaten in Winnipeg and Ottawa to remember a very special person…

tonight we had supper with my son-in-law in Ottawa… earlier today my daughter, on vacation in Europe, texted me that she’d had a burger for her lunch, in memory of her dad;-)…
we tried a new app called Viper, and it worked great… think I will use it again…
burgers were had by all… ours came from one of my beloved’s favourite burger places… and we even shared a chocolate milkshake here… it was delicious…
birthdays often seem hard, but coming together to share a meal is a lovely tradition to remember him…
and it is always such a delight when the technology works, lol…

it was a beautiful evening, so we walked over to Sam’s on Sunday night… we’ve been wanting to go, but hadn’t made it until then…
the menu was basically schnitzel and burgers with a few appetizers, salads and desserts…
we had burgers and curly fries… I had a schnitzel burger…
the patty was twice the size of the pretzel bun, so I cut it in half and brought the leftovers home for lunch…
everything was tasty and Sam, the owner, was very cute and attentive… it was fun to see how the regulars waited to say goodbye to him before leaving;-)…
may go again…

Sunday we celebrated my beloved’s birthday…
the kids in Ottawa ordered A&W and I ordered it here… this was as close as we could manage to get burgers which were one of his favourites, lol…
ordering and having the meal delivered makes it easy to meet and eat at a specific time without going crazy in the kitchen trying to get separate meals ready…
we met online and enjoyed our burgers and chatted about him…
whenever we meet up we like to “cheers”… in person or over screens…
after we finished our call, I had one of their apple turnovers… he loved apple pie;-)…
it was a low key and enjoyable way to remember him…

bit of an odd day… woke up at 6:15, made a thermos of tea and went back to bed… it had snowed a bit in the night…
at 7:30 the power went off and didn’t come back on for two hours… happy to have the warm tea as the temperature in the house dropped to 69 Celcius…
it is always so quiet when the power is off… and with the fresh blanket of snow it felt very cozy… particularly because I didn’t have to go out…
once the power was back on I spent some time working on a project and later met up with my daughter and eldest grandson at the mall… oh my… what was I thinking…
cars and people everywhere… good news is that I now have just about everything I need…
stopped to pick up A & W teen burgers, onion rings and fries and then home… teen burgers from A & W were a treat we would sometimes have on our way home from work… nice to enjoy them with my grandson who is spending the night and helping me with some chores around the house tomorrow…
a number of people say he looks just like my beloved;-)…
