had a lovely time on Thursday…

started out with shovelling the sidewalk… my oh my, we had a lot of snow since yesterday…

then friends arrived to pick me up and take me to Polo Park to mall walk… it was very nice to be able to walk in a space without ice and snow, where there was lots of space, and few people…

forty minutes and three laps later, we went to their house and had a lovely visit and lunch…

we topped lunch off with a few pieces of dark chocolate…

later I was brought home with a bagful of books to add to the stair bookshelf;-)…

what a wonderful treat…

had a great time on Monday, when I met with my BS buddies at the Park Cafe for a celebration lunch…

it was amazing because it was the birthday person’s birthday, lol… we don’t often have the celebration on their actual day…

we were there for a few hours…

the restaurant wasn’t too full, we had a lovely waitperson, the meal with very tasty, and we had lots of laughs and conversation (as always)…

these women have been my lifeline for over thirty-five years…

fritters…

made zucchini fritters with two lovely zucchinis I got from Jonathan’s Farm…

grated them and wrapped them in a towel to wring out extra moisture…

after they were mixed with egg, cheese, and breadcrumbs, added them to the waffle maker…

came out nicely, although they could have used a bit of flour, which I decided to leave out…

I will make these again;-)…

mouthwatering…

on Monday, I made a toasted tomato and bacon sandwich, with a tomato from a friend…

it was delicious and reminded me of my beloved…

he made the most delicious tomato sandwiches…

I couldn’t figure out why they were so delicious… at some point I realized that he used a ton of Miracle Whip…

but, my oh my, they were mouthwatering…

cucumbers…

spotted the Farmers Market by Foodfare on our way home last Saturday, so popped in to see what they had… and there were cloth vegetable bags in the car;-)…

picked up pickling cucumbers (my favourite), tiny red potatoes, a cabbage, and a cauliflower…

I keep forgetting that this market is here…

then for my lunch I had some cucumbers, cherry tomatoes from a friend, avocado, and a bit of cheese… yum…

what a treat;-)…

on Monday our BS group went to Taverna Rodos for lunch to celebrate an upcoming birthday… it was very hot so we chose the inside and had a great time…

I had liver and onions with gravy, along with a salad and French fries… it was wonderful and I enjoyed every bite…

other dishes included lemon rice soup, souvlaki, steak sandwich, and a chicken and Caesar salad… and maybe a few desserts;-)…

fun times as we considered how long we’ve used the birthday bag and the photo on it, lol…

lots of sharing, laughter, and some singing…

Tuesday we went to aquasize as my buddy had an appointment on Thursday…

from there we drove to Oak Bluff, where we had lunch at Roxy’s Restaurant & Lounge… I was very excited to find battered mushrooms on the menu, so we started with those… and they were delicious;-)… then I had a tasty beef dip with Caesar salad… the service was excellent, the food good and it was a nice spot…

onward to Carman where we visited the Golden Prairie Arts Council to see an exhibition by Connie Bart Hamel which was filled with a variety of mediums… she is very talented and a neighbour of my friend…

we stopped at Syl’s for ice cream and had a lovely drive home in the sunshine…

wonderful day;-)…

had lunch with my buddies on Monday to celebrate a couple of birthdays…

ordered from Spice Circle the day before and we picked it up… we always need to check because many restaurants are closed on Mondays, which we have learned the hard way, lol…

we had a variety of items and found the food hot and tasty… my goat thali was very nice… the one thing I might change was the packaging as it didn’t all fit into one container…
