Men in Shorts in November! May God help their poor knees when they reach my age. Our Canadian Thanksgiving was way back in October and just me and Michael celebrated SANDY. We had the free turkey left by mistake if you remember, and told to keep when I phoned about the mistake because the lady at the distribution centre…

Good morning. The doctors here are worried about the masses flocking to the stores on Saturday pre virus lockdown starting today. Now if me and my family realized this would happen what on earth is the IQ of those that govern us? Anne

Yes, a foul day. We all stayed home. No window repair and Mike sending me photos of a snowman the kids in his building had constructured. Jilly thought it was bedtime and I read my book after lunch and couldn't believe it was 3:30 when the phone woke me up! I never nap during the day. It's 0 C right now but tomorrow we…

WE NOW HAVE SNOW. DARK AS NIGHT AND SNOWING. Anne.

Well, not much chance of NOT being safe here seeing some of us are tucked inside peering at the sleet on the outside. Every cloud has a silver lining and with this virus confining us not much chance of us sliding along on our bottoms on the slippery path. We've got rainy sleet, Mike up north is looking at heavy falling…

As if I would! Lol Blue bonnet (the flower)

Oh PATSY, I'm so sorry to read that your daughter is so poorly and added to that little Runtie gone. Your son will be in for a sad thanksgiving and so will you and John. Wish I could help physically in some way. I guess that's the worst of being in a pen pal group and unable to lend a helping hand even if its only making a…

Dreaming snow (white Christmas?)

Good morning, after a good sleep it dawned on me that the region of Peel and Toronto might be in lockdown but what's to stop the people there getting in their cars and nipping over the invisible barrier to shop in our region? Strikes me they should have shutdown the whole region of southern Ontario if the powers that be…

Well Michael came over and I cooked him his favourite lunch as we awaited to hear our fate in the coming weeks. Lunch was lambchops with onions and mushrooms, buttery mashed potatoes and veggies, mainly green beans. Jilly helped us eat our lamb chops! I mentioned I'd tell you of: Our fate. Well nothing different where I…

Dad den.

Relieved to read no check in next week. No guilt trip either. Lol. Happy thanksgiving!

Lion hearted

Super idea, one for mid morning and one for mid afternoon? Yeah.

Quickie because Michael will be over soon....and maybe for the last time for a few weeks. We are to be told of strict new rules starting today that will be announced at noon. Much speculation, the most popular being no more flitting between two households. Family members included. More later, Anne.

Oh Jackie, misery loves company! What I suspected as well! Gained about 4 lbs.

Sweet little Katie just appeared.

Bob, yes I purchased Taylor Fladgate. Mary Jo's dad who was very Portuguese, i.e. Very short, very wide, very dark, very communicative and into arm waving, but alas no longer with us grew his own grapes and made his own port wine. It came out every Christmas but now if I want to have a glass after Christmas dinner I have…

Thanks SANDY, I was feeling a bit guilty about making a frivolous purchase, but you are right, we need a frivolous break now and again. My huge order turned up. Everything came as ordered including a bottle of after dinner port wine. Dorio was supposed to check my date of birth to make sure I'm over eighteen. He didn't, I…

Here's Jilly just waking up.

We've just got up and eating oatmeal, drinking strong Irish tea and rummaging through chicken breakfast. The latter being for the pup who I think eats better than me most of the time. My cupboards, and fridge shelves look similar to Jean and Sabrina's, especially when you add doggie treats etc. I was very naughty last…

Self improvement ? Sorry, as you will gather just lately, whenever I post someone beats me to it, lol. I await to see what happens here.

Horrifying BOB, your video and I understand the deceit involved. Sent to the hospital to hide the true numbers. We had the opposite problem with Roy. He was taken out of the hospital after surgery, not sent home, but placed in a nursing home to recover where he died after contacting the virus. Anne.

Exactly BARBIE, and regarding the virus the worst hit area here is the East Asian area community. I'm afraid they do need to be policed. The numbers of infected people in the area they have chosen to live is quite staggering. It's been known for some time but only now is it on the news as official. I think it's because…

Day lily

Uh oh LIN.

Turkey sushi! Messiest meal in THIS house. Never did master those daft sticks! Anne.

Talking of virus's and shut downs, and lock downs, and school closures and holiday restrictions reminded me yet again of another poem. This time a macabre play on words. It wasn't the cough.......etc. Just stay safe gals and our one lad on our respective turf until this darn thing is a thing of the past. I honestly think…
