been waiting to go to Canadian Tire to pick up new wheel covers for Shadow… this is the final piece following her accident, although I have to be back in touch with MPI to be reimbursed…

wasn’t 100% sure what I needed so I waited for a day when my son-in-law was available… today we ran over and found just the right covers, and when we got home he installed them…

as we arrived home a group of Canada geese flew over the house… can’t decide if it was a skein, a wedge or a team, lol… very exciting… made the dull overcast seem less oppressive… a sure sign of Spring…

ended the day with barbecued steak for our dinner…

the last bit of ice in the covered entryway to the backyard has also been removed which makes me happy…

now to watch the Junos…

progress…

watching the JUNOs and enjoying all the performances…

more time in the computer room… not sure you can tell that I spent hours in there today, but progress is being made…

  
it was too funny this afternoon… as I was putting the sea shells into the drawers of the living room table, snow was falling outside…

  
the best news was that I knew exactly where the shells were located… no vanishing this year…

  
went to the Home and Garden show this afternoon with the kids… picked up a lovely wooden spoon… I have a bit of a thing for wooden spoons… don’t seem able to get rid of any old ones…

also found a new cleaning service… very happy about that as my cleaner just advised yesterday that she isn’t able to continue due to the distance from her area to mine… makes sense, but made me sad as they were excellent…

stumbled upon Polished Cleaning Services at the event and was impressed with them… looking forward to a great relationship… and pleased to have this all sorted out…

progress made on many fronts…

Junos…

well, just got home from the Junos at the MTS Centre downtown…

there were a lot of people there…

we arrived about twenty minutes before it started and it was easy to get in…

it was great fun to be part of the “behind the scenes” action… to see what happens while the commercials are on… to see the cameras and teleprompters, the people running around after each act, mopping down the floors to be sure they were safe for everyone…

the Jennifer Jones team got a standing ovation when they were announced as presenters… Chris Hadfield was cool and also got an ovation… he sang a few lines of a BTO song before he introduced them…

many performers there whose music I knew, mainly from my driving in the car and listening to the radio…

the finale with a couple of younger bands joining BTO on the stage for Taking Care of Business was a great ending…

then we just had to get out through all the people, but the girls made sure we made it safely… even though we waited a bit, there were big crowds going the same direction as we were…

a memory to add to my collection…

started out overcast…

slept off and on through the night sitting in the lounger that I bought yesterday… so spent a good portion of the morning and early afternoon watching tv and dozing in the chair… the good news is that it has helped my back…

very large snowflakes came down...

was thinking about having a hot tub around 8 am but then huge snowflakes started to come down and more and more came down for a long time… about 3 it stopped and the sun came out…

deck covered AGAIN... although it did melt late in the afternoon...

since then I have been watching the JUNOs in the lounger which Jeff took upstairs for me…

looking forward to a better sleep tonight and hopefully my back with be feeling much better tomorrow…
