went for a drive with my adventure partner…

drove just outside the city to Jonathan’s Farm to collect the veggies we both ordered online…

it was a sunny day and the drive was relaxing…

there was no one around when we arrived although I spotted someone in the field way down the way, lol…

we gathered up our produce and headed home…

the one thing we noticed was all the crazy drivers on the road, lol… Friday and everyone was in a hurry to get somewhere 🤪…

looking forward to some delicious meals…

tissues…

I’ve been thinking for a while of trying reusable tissues instead of Kleenex…

I ordered a few to see how I like them and since they arrived I’ve been using them…

so far, so good…

I am hopeful that this goes as well as the paper towel project…

I’ve been getting my Friday dinner for most of December and into January from Modern Plate Catering…

a number of weeks ago, when it was delivered, Curtis, the delivery person, asked if I had salt and then sprinkled it on my steps and sidewalk, which were covered in ice… how kind was that;-)… it is so nice to get to know the members of businesses, particularly in these trying times… the next week he brought salt with him!

today, when he and Lindsay dropped off my dinner, he had already shovelled the steps before I opened the door… he was prepared to shovel the sidewalk as well, but I told him not to…

good customer service is so important and makes me try harder to use good companies again and again;-)…

especially when the food is delicious, lol…

colourful…

had great treats the last few days…

on Wednesday I ordered sushi for my dinner from Sei Sushi... it was so nice, although I missed my grandson who is my usual sushi partner, lol…

yesterday, I spent time in the morning making mashed potatoes so that when I warmed them up at supper they were better for me… I even made gravy to go with the chicken… it was delicious… although a more colourful vegetable would have looked prettier…

today I had a charcuterie board from Modern Plate Catering for my lunch… it was fun to set all the bits out on a tray and make it pretty…

fun to have a treat;-)…

birdseed…

this morning I went into the garage and put birdseed into pails and a bin… I was very happy because the woman from Preferred Perch who delivered it last night put the bags on the table for me…

the bags weigh 50 pounds so that made it easier to fill the pails and bin and there is still one entire bag left…

I think there will be enough to last for quite a while…
