had a good time at aquasize and then we took a drive to DeLuca’s…
I got spinach wraps, gnocchi, canned tomatoes and two different types of bread…
apparently I am still craving bread, lol… now I just need to learn how to cook the gnocchi…
once home I made two little peanut butter and banana sandwiches for my lunch…
they were very tasty…

Sunday we opened gifts over the internet, lol…
we always like to cheers together and being 1330 miles apart doesn’t stop us although it took a bit of direction from the kids for me to get my mug in the right spot, lol…
there were lots of treats and great minds thinking alike as we all opened Chapters/Indigo cards…
technology has made such a difference in our lives…
what a treat;-)…

I’ve been waiting and waiting for stamps to arrive from Canada Post…
was able to drop some items in the mail a few days ago, but still need two stamps…
usually they arrive quickly, so I’ve been wondering what the problem was…
for whatever reason, I wasn’t sleeping, so went online around 2 am and noticed there were things in my Canada Post cart😳…
apparently, I didn’t finish the purchase all those days ago😂…
now they’ve been ordered and should really arrive soon…

out and about today!
well, I went to Canadian Tire and Subway, lol…
my grandson picked me up and once we were in the store we asked for help finding the water shoes I was looking for… the young man we dealt with didn’t seem to be having a good day… he appeared a bit unfriendly, but eventually did produce the shoes…
then, in another section of the store, the woman helping us was very knowledgeable and friendly and found what I needed quickly;-)…
and the cashier was pleasant, so all in all a good experience… and the store wasn’t crazy busy…
at the sandwich store, the young woman we dealt with was very helpful even though we caused her some confusion with our order, but she figured it out…
we enjoyed our subs when we got home…
a couple of jobs around the house and off he went;-)… then I had a nap😂…

I love smoked Goldeye and don’t have it too often…
yesterday, when I was out with a friend we stopped in at Gimli Fish Market and I was able to pick one up…
today, I made Goldeye cream cheese for the future and had Goldeye with cucumber and onion salad for my lunch…
delicious, what a treat;-)…

I love my new leggings… I had ordered a large and an extra-large pair and as they both fit, have decided to keep both of them…
they have side pockets, but they open to the back, not the front which seemed odd…
but, because of that, my phone fits into the spot perfectly and doesn’t jab into me when I sit down, lol…
they are thicker and that is keeping me warmer inside the house, as I try to keep the thermostat set lower… although I think it is a going to get raised up before too long…

had a lovely day on Saturday…
started with six beautiful hibiscus flowers smiling at me;-)…
my grandson texted to say they were going to pick up some groceries and a parcel for me so we decided to have supper together…
I had a good time making stuffing and mashed potatoes, cooking mushrooms for gravy, and getting a chicken ready to roast…
in between those activities I watched speed skating and a Christmas movie, lol…
when the kids arrived we enjoyed a great visit and delicious meal… then he shovelled the driveway, decks and sidewalks… I truly am blessed…
it is always a treat to spend time with them;-)…

was out for the first full sidewalk shovel of the year on Thursday…
last week I did the very front portion of the sidewalk closest to the road, lol… but the shovel I used was not good… it was heavy and the snow clung to the metal…
we went to Canadian Tire and checked out all the options… finally I chose this plastic one…
it worked well and as there wasn’t much snow on the ground it didn’t take too long…
a bit later in the day, I shovelled to the back lane so that the garbage bin could go out;-)…
and then the snow started again, lol…
big quiet flakes;-)…

had a delicious supper on Tuesday…
visited the Wolseley Farmers Market and got some lovely items…
flowers; a beautiful pork chop; green, yellow, and purple beans; garlic; small new potatoes; little eggplants; free range eggs; an acorn squash; and a cob of corn…
cooked up, cooled and reheated the potatoes… then warmed up some chicken wings from the night before and boiled some of the beans…
yum…
looking forward to more delicious meals from this bounty…

big girl pants, Market Sharpening Company, moments, scissors, sharpening, shopping, Technology, widow
last time we used my hair scissors, my friend advised they had lost their ability to cut, lol…
I’ve been looking for new ones and asking around about getting them sharpened, but with no success…
we’ve started going to the Wolseley Farmers Market and I realized a few days ago that there was a person who sharpened knives… I texted to see if he dealt with scissors and he responded that he did…
I took them with me when we went and he did a great job… he also let me know they were very good ones and would be excellent when he finished sharpening them;-)…
it was interesting to watch his process and see all the steps required to make them good as new…
thanks Bret;-)…
