Gator Bread

Must be reaching the peak of boredom when the high point of my day is to bake bread to look like a gator. The day started too cold to go shopping but after looking at my creation I knew, I need to get out. Bought more flour. What will I think of next?

You're just jealous because the voices only talk to me.

North Carolina Friends

We love getting photographs.
As they say "a picture is worth a thousand words".
It is even better when we hear from friends who we haven't heard from in months now.
The joy is too much. I have to introduce you to our friends.

This is Ben and Phyllis and their family. Ben was there for Kirk during the move to Canada. Packing, loading, driving and unloading.
He made the trips to Canada with Kirk and Phyllis joined on the last trip.
We can't thank them enough. This is their 40th Anniversary and Happy Birthday Ben #62


Another friend we haven't heard from in ages; Debbie and Calvin (no picture of Calvin, he is probably the photographer) We worked with them back in our construction days. Calvin still a builder. Debbie graduating in May as RN and she will be 50 in two weeks. 50, been there, done that, just didn't look as good as she does. (she's the one in the middle)
You go girl!



Just have to say, we miss you all. Stay in touch the best way you can.

Sunday projects

This fairly well describes all our projects, Especially for Frank & Ernest (Kirk).

Right now, Kirk is moving snow.

Yesterday Frank dropped off one of his tractors (similar to the one we had last year) for Kirk to clear the driveway.

I think Kirk is really enjoying moving snow because, he's been at it for hours now and waves at me every time I poke my head out. It must be the fact it's something different to do.

It is Sunday. A day of worship and rest. He's got both covered.

Snow Storm

Yes, we now have snow! There is more to come. Kirk gave me the forecast.

Right now, Kirk is shovelling snow very slowly. I warned him to take his time and not to exert himself. (the heart situation is always on my mind)

In the mean time, I have been cooking up a storm. It serves two purposes; heats the house and more food than we can eat. The dehydrator is a great heat source. Kirk now has bags of venison jerky. The oven is the best heat source. Baking tuna casseroles and bread. (items on my menu) Stove top is good too. Venison stew is a hit.

I think I'm gaining weight. I should be the one shovelling snow but Kirk says he needs the exercise. Yes and no. I did get plenty of exercise when working at IGA. Now, getting dressed to go outside and undressed to go inside is the chore. Putting boots on and off wear me out. I think we should put a chair in the garage just for boot removal while wearing 5 layers of clothing.

We are glad that we don't have to go anywhere. Kirk's trip to the shop, over a few snow drifts, is as far as he wants to go and I only go there when he calls for help or to take the dogs out which are real short and fast trips.

Ah, winter in Canada, got to love it. Can't leave it.
