Things I appreciate

 1. My family. They are awesome, joke around lots, there when we need each other. How else would I know what mischief they got into as teenagers or young adults.

2. The Internet. Where else could I learn to make sour cream bread, or any punch imaginable. Where else could I find awesome things I don’t need. How else would I know I need the five egg a day diet or the soup and water diet? Who the next star is? Or what to watch on Netflix, Disney, Acorn, Zubba Doo or any other station?

3. My dog. Oakley keeps me on my toes. One minute he’s fast asleep, the next he got the zummies, the next it’s out the door we go.  He teaches me how to get stuck in the snow and more importantly how to get out. How else would I know where all the mail is and what it says, oh, and how to cover up the mail he just sniffed. He’s my little buddy.

4. My neighbours. How else would I know who’s who, who’s moving, who’s in trouble, who needs help, what’s up in the neighbourhood. How else are we to make up stories about the neighbours and neighbour hood. Oh surmising is so fun. What’s that kid up to now? Look who got a new dog, cat, hamster, fish, oh no a snake!

5. The weather. What else do I have that I can complain about year round 



Hope you enjoyed my comical take on life.

End of September

 Today marks the end of another month and the beginning of a new age for my youngest grandchild who turned 13 today. The last teenager in the family.  My finances are in the dump. With fixing my vehicle, spending way more on groceries, and various other expenses, I have decided to not buy groceries, unless it is fresh stuff I.e. carrots, beets, brussel sprouts, cucumber etc. I want to pay off my yearly car insurance in full, so I need to put $344 dollars away every pay for the next three pays. I also want to be out of the red in the next month. Things will be tight, but I can do it. Thankfully, it is only me.  Another beautiful day. We hit 30C again and should hit the same the next few days. I have cleaned all, sans one, of the insides of the balcony windows. I also cleaned three of the apartment windows. Just need to do the one balcony window and the door window to the balcony. Then onwards to doing them inside. I am going to put up a black out window curtains in my bedr...

February Ending

 Well since we only have three days left in February, I thought I would do a recap. I had hoped to do most of the month without going to the store. Did not happen I ended up going six times. I decided not to include my regular rent, utilities in with my calculation and some of it is dog needs which I am not including as his needs are there regularly every month. With his I went seven times to the store and he had grooming this month. From now on his regular needs dog food and treats will be only on one trip to the store. I will stock up. Just groceries and other spending I only had the six days but they were a doozy. I spent another $171.00 on groceries and had twenty no spend days. I had no other incidental buying this month. I hope this makes sense. My mind has a way of its own today.  I am hoping March will be better, but I will need to buy seeds for the garden. Normally we can’t plant before May 24th to around the first week of June. That’s why I will only get seeds in Mar...

Well It’s Over

 For another year. All our celebrations were yesterday. Today was cleanup day. I got the kitchen, bathroom and my bedroom cleaned. Most decorations are down and put away. Only have the tree to do and a couple of breakables. Managed to have a nap also. We had turkey, roast beef, ham, mashed potatoes, baby beans, pomegranate salad, buns, cheese and crackers, stuffing, chips and dip, pumpkin pie with whipped cream, Saskatoon pie and cookies. We had fifteen people here. Fun, noisy, games, teasing and good conversations. she Who Must Be Obeyed made Christmas jam for everyone. We will do it all again next year with a twist. Ours won’t be on Christmas Day. It will be on Boxing Day. There will be a whole lot more people as more cousins will attend. I think we might have to rent the golf course banquet room for the day. Which means, The Golfer will want me to cook it all, then bring it all there to be heated up. He will then insist that we clean the kitchen, the banquet room and the washroo...
