Valentines Day


Was quiet around here. No mail nor male! Well, besides Oakley. 

I worked on making some sewn microwave baskets. They are used to put a bowl of what you are cooking/warming up into the microwaveable container. You cook your item them when you take it out, you pick up by the basket. No hot fingers and it can go right on to the table. Sorry no pics yet.
May finish some tomorrow or maybe Monday.
Other than that it was a nice day so lots of outside for us. He would have spent the whole day walking, however we had dense fog for most of the day. Tomorrow will be better so will do a long walk. I think Oakley thinks it’s spring already.  

Did the usual chores. Picking up toys, making the bed, dusting, load the dishwasher and make meals. Other than having that expensive day we are still on no spend days. BTW those statements, on a blog or two back, was actually money put into various savings accounts. To me it is still a spend as those accounts are not to be touched till the appropriate time. 

Well, back to knitting this evening. Have a great evening.

    I love my microwave bowl holders and am thinking of trying to make some larger ones.

    God bless.

    That’s the direction I am headed also. This one was just to see if I could remember.

    Sounds like you had a good day, Jean. I don't celebrate St. Valentine's Day so it was just another day here, too. :)

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...
