My frustration with this stupid blog stuff. I am logged into my account, I go to one of the blogs I follow, I read something that interests me so I try to leave a comment. Now my frustration starts as it won't publish my comments. I hate this!

Let the sun shine in!

It's March 10 and the temperature is 18 C! Had a wonderful day last Sunday with a trip to the casino in Vernon and the pick up some Chinese food and go back to my Mom & Bill's in Enderby. We were celebrating my cousin Earl's 77th Birthday!
My mom has joined one of my circles on here. This is my mom and cousin Earl hanging outside the Chinese place.

What to do on a Monday morning.

I had a very busy morning. I Vacuumed, washed and waxed my floors and then I made a batch of Oatmeal Raisin Coconut Cookies.
Now if I have company I can offer them a cup of tea and a cookie.
The valley cloud cover has set in so the sun will be hiding for most of the winter. He'll peak out occasionally but if you want to see him you'll have to go up high.

Have a super day. TTYL

The oven adventure

Yesterday I was baking biscuits. I went to check them to see if they were done and, low and behold, the bottom burner in my over was glowing very bright. Luckily the biscuits were cooked so I turned off the stove, removed the biscuits and left the door open to cool things off. When it was cool I checked it out and the element was covered in melted metal and burned right through. Time to get the tools out. After I took it out I called around to find a new element. Found one for $40.00. It's a newer design so I had to modify the wiring and all is good. That is the end of the great oven episode.

September is almost gone?

Okay who stole the middle weeks of September? I never noticed that they were missing until today.
My friend has finished walking the Camino in Spain for the second time! I am in awe of her and her friends as it is something I could not do. My body wouldn't let me. They walked in extreme heat, rain and wind all the while enjoying what they saw and who they met, stopping once in a while to change socks and bandage blistered feet. Well done

That's all I have for today. It's raining and I don't feel very energetic.

Autumn is definitely here!

The temperature is much lower. I almost, but not quite, turned on my furnace. I opted to put on a warm shirt as my ears and fingers aren't cold. Some of the leaves have started to change colour but not a lot. I'll post photos later.
Have a lovely day!

Not really boring

I've just had visitors for the past three days. We visited and got caught up. I took them around on a bit of touristing. We went to the Father Pandosy Mission Historic sight and did wine tasting at Quail's Gate and Gray Monk. Had BBQ Ribs one night, A late lunch the next day so Cheese and Tomato sandwiches for dinner and then Chicken and Vegetables in a pouch on the third day. One night I did an impromptu concert and had them singing along.  I guess my life is not really that boring. Yesterday I saw my best buddy, since 1964, and his girlfriend off on their trip and now I'm alone again but it's time to catch up on my things I've been putting off. The weather had co-operated while they were here but it rained today. The good thing is they will be here for a few days in October! Yeah!
