had a lovely treat… this morning two of my boys came to the house and changed the tires on Indi…
then they came and got me at the office and we went to Boston Pizza for lunch…
and at the end of the day I came home to the grass mowed, outdoor furniture put away for winter and the pump running in the pond…
was just in the hot tub and spent the entire time listening to the beautiful sound of the water running;-)… I have missed it over the last few weeks…

started taking Cold FX just before leaving for vacation as I was sensing a cold starting…
this morning the cold arrived… funny voice early in the day with a sore throat and my nose has been running like mad… of course it was wonderful that it held off while we were away…
when I got home from work I made zucchini basil chicken soup which was very tasty, and climbed into bed…
two more days before I can hibernate for a bit and get well…

seems like it has been a crazy busy day, felt as though I was running from one thing to the next…
up early and headed out to do errands… went to three different stores and got home with groceries to put away…
made the stuffing for the chicken just in time to be picked up by the kids for a dimsum lunch… tasty…
the boys and I all fit into a picture, sort of…
then we went to the Mid-Canada Boat Show in the new portion of the RBC Convention Centre… the space is lovely… didn’t take a single picture…
there were many very big boats there… liked the look of a new model of seadoo called Spark… looks like it might be lots of fun… to drive one I would need a boating licence, hmmmm…
when we got home I stuffed the chicken and popped it into the oven… we visited and I prepped the rest of the food… eventually the chicken was cooked… had mashed potatoes with cauliflower; brussel sprouts with mushrooms and garlic; gravy, and cranberry jelly… and of course our usual Caesar salad, which all the boys love… topped dinner off with some apple pie to remember Grandpa… we talked about his favourite foods… he really liked roast pork, but always enjoyed a roast chicken dinner…
can’t really believe it has been four years since he left us and at the same time it feels like way longer that I’ve been on my own…
