Old Friends

 

Played in the mud at the greenhouse again today.  Got another couple of projects out of the way.

The planting line is presently being set up for the Lily planting.  Mardi and I had volunteered to help out, but we're reneging on tomorrow when the planting starts.  

Instead we're heading to the Aberfoyle Mill for our annual get-together with the Tuesday golf guys and their spice.  More about that tomorrow.

"Good friends are like quilts-they age with you, yet never lose their warmth."


Stay well.

Time Out

 My old work watch gave up the ghost today, so I turned to my golf watch.  It's been plugged in since my last golf game, and not surprisingly it was an hour fast - didn't get the time change memo.

So, today's excitement was going outside and telling it to look for golf courses.  That GPS feature is what tells it the correct time.

Of course, it could be a lot harder to correct your clock.

Stay well.

Volunteers

 Had our annual HVAC inspection today.  Our 50 year old relic is still rocking.  One more thing off the check list before we head south.

-------------------------------------------------------

Mardi and the ladies were working on their special project today.  Putting together backpacks filled with essentials for the girls rescued from human trafficking.  

Lots of donated goods.


And the sorting begins.  Monica has a helper.

Fifty back packs will be filled next Saturday.  

Well done!  A noble project!

--------------------------------------------

And a Christmas carol message that

Thanks Steve!

----------------------------------------

Laugh a lot.  Do good things.  Stay well.

Go Cats, Go

 Based on today's white Christmas, it's a good thing that Mardi put her car to bed for the winter yesterday!

But the snow didn't hold the Tiger-Cats back.  Their defense smothered the Alouettes to win the Eastern Conference Semi-Final.



These players were almost as excited as Al Addis.......


who immediately posted the following....

OSKEE WEE WEE!

have a nice day,

Al

Next stop Toronto.

-------------------------------------------------

As Al says, have a nice day and stay safe.

It's Begining To Look A Lot Like Christmas

 Greg forwarded a picture of what Diane has done with the cedars they picked up the other day.


There are four trees altogether on their deck.  Well done Diane.

------------------------------------------

Christmas has come to our house as well.


And our "tree" is up - for 30 days, until we leave for Florida.

Another sign of the season - Mardi has put her 2007 Sebring convertible away for the winter.


Yea!  I get to use the underground parking at the condo for the next month, until we leave for Florida.

----------------------------------------------------

Tonight we had Kathryn and Anna over for dinner.  Their quest to find housing continues.  Although Anna's business is doing very well, it doesn't have a long enough track record to satisfy the banks.  More homework to be done.

-----------------------------------------------------

Stay well.

Shut-In

 Woke up with a sore arm after the booster shot.  That, and a very dreary weather outlook, kept me home for most of the day.

I am not a good shut-in person.  Drove me nuts.  If this were to keep up I'd have to find a renovation project to keep me busy.  Fortunately, Easter Lily planting starts next week.

If I'm ever banished to a nursing home, please pull the plug!

-------------------------------------------

The good news is that I finally won a card game against Mardi.

Stay sane.  Stay well.
