[made582]

Today, Lisa is working and so I'm going to push the mending knee a bit and try to start packing some things up in the garage and , them to storage myself. Yes, I foresee an Aleeve later on ha-ha...

Good Luck with the house hunt and selling yours!!!!


Don't overdue it today!!!!!!

That's good that you have her on something and that you also noticed it as well because it could have gotten in the house and possibly jumped on you or the hubby...
I heard that they are going to be real bad this year especially in the areas like here where the weather was not so cold. You have to especially careful with those little deer ticks, I got bit by one on my side about 10 years ago and I went to the docs to have it checked out and blood work done to check for Lyme disease; luckily, tested negative but the doc gave me antibiotics to take anyhow.

And the deer, their everywheres now, so every time I get in the woods or high grass, I'm checking myself just to make sure....

Yes, I have a feeling it will be bad too.

It wasn't even 60 degrees out yesterday when we went, and although we were near the woods, we were only walking in the street & grassy areas near home :/

You be careful, too!!

Off to the church this morning to meet our possible new pastor and his wife.
This is a meet and greet type morning where everyone who is heading up a ministry in the church will get a chance to talk to them about it. I head up operation Christmas child (shoe box gifts for children around the world in need)
So I have my Christmas tree earrings on and ready to go!

Good morning,

Rain, rain go away...

Baseball practice was canceled, and I guess we are suppose to have some doozies of thunderstorms come through this afternoon.

Just going to hang around this morning and then head out later to get all the plants for my wife for Mother's day.


Have a great day!!!

That's a bummer about practice.

Stay safe during the storms today.

Happy plant shopping!! Pick out some beauties!!

Hey all! Busy week! A quick update on my mom. The day she got home from the hospital she felt terrible from the lack of sleep and nausea but the next day she felt so awesome she was trying to do chores around the house, laundry, changing the sheets on her bed and more in her wheelchair when she was suppose to stay in bed with her leg elevated! She has one of those external fixators on her leg, a big bulky thing she has to deal with for 4-6 weeks. There is NO REASON for her to do chores or cook! The whole time I was growing up my dad always shared that responsibility and NEVER expected my mom to do all that. My dad seems to love waiting on her too! She was doing all this while my dad and I were out running errands for her so we were not aware that she was misbehaving, she's a rebel! Ha ha. We got a call from her and she was bleeding and swelling at the surgery site. My dad rushed home, called the doctor and she was told to get to bed! They told her to stay there but my mom just cannot be still! She is good now. She told me she doesn't like ordering my dad around. I convinced her that he likes waiting on her. He has always been that kind of husband anyway, he LOVES doing things for her. I know what I witnessed with my mom and dad growing up, nothing but love! That is why they have been married for nearly 50 years! I also told her to call Wayne and I anytime and we will be right over if she needed us.

I am very behind on the forums. I hope I haven't missed any big news. We got a lot to do today so I will try to catch up on here sometime.

Thanks again for all your thoughts and prayers! My mom thanks you too!

I'm no Martha Stewart, Xmas. I can't even pretend to be

I just use the Jiffy corn muffin mix & sprinkle cinnamon & sugar on the top before baking.

My Mom taught me that, they are delicious!!

I'll keep her in my prayers!!

Don't overdo, though, or you will have a setback. One step at a time, LOL! Pictures of you doing the can-can, please, LOL!

Take the can-can dancing Xmas Tidings with you to ballet practice, Bradmac!!! You are such a nice brother. Of course, your brother is nice too to help you with the Camaro.

Dancing???.....:lol:

Good afternoon everyone!

It was a big and long week. As mentioned about a week ago, I started my new job this week. Waking up at about 6:20 is much harder than 7 am. The work is much different than my previous position. It's more production based than data entry and submissions based. I don't quite like it as much, but it is money and it will do until I find a secure and full time position elsewhere - or until my contract ends in September.

It was mostly a beautiful week in Ottawa. Temperatures often felt like summer. Leaves and flowers are nearing full bloom. Can't ask for much better scenery right now than Ottawa.

Moving back to my job, I can't post as much as I want to anymore. I'll do my best to post later in the day, but I cannot guarantee anything. Our computer access is very minimal and there is little to no downtime to do anything during breaks or free time. It's disappointing, but at least I'm making money.

Well, I hope everyone has a great weekend. Enjoy the Spring weather wherever you are!

Afternoon everyone! Just popping in whilst tea is cooking! Hope this finds everyone well!!

Had quite a exciting week! my sister in law gave birth to a beautiful baby girl on thursday! they have named her Evie! Also last night I went to a baby shower for a work friend who is leaving us soon to go on maternity leave, was a fantastic night!!

Hope you all have a great day!! xx
