Almost There

 We have celebrated 4 birthdays, Easter and a bridal shower. We still have 3 birthdays to go. We will celebrate 2 this coming Sunday.

I have posted about most of the other birthdays but not the shower. Its a 1 and 3/4 drive to the farm. K parked his tractor and some equipment out and then as we came in he took the cars to hide behind the shop. You could not tell there were 16 vehicles hidden. We were all there hidden inside. The bride was told it was a late Easter gathering. J her fiancé was going to bring her, but he got called into work. We were worried she wouldn't come by herself, but she did and she was surprised. We played a couple of games. Then we introduced ourselves. After that we had a luncheon. It was a fabulous time. Then another drive back to the city carrying food, and 8 dozen eggs. After, I dropped daughter at her car and SIL at her apartment, I headed home to see Oakley. He did fine but certainly  needed to go out. I was tired but we stayed up late so he could have a couple more walks. Monday I was home all day but didn't do much. Tuesday daughter called to meet me in the city as her car wouldn't be ready till late afternoon.  We ran to Costco, then they called that the car was ready and it was only 1:00. I dropped her then came home just in time to walk. I didn't do much as the runners I wore really aggravated my hip arthritis. Today we are back to our usual household duties and a long walk. Sunny and we will hit 22C today. Nice, warm and wearing dresses weather. We had our first thunder and lightening storm to night.

    Sounds like a busy Sunday and a busy month, too, with all the birthdays and other celebrations!

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...
