~~~~~Another wonderful weekend!~~~~

I belong to a group of retired teachers known as Leisure Ladies and we try to get together, during the spring, summer and fall. Fri. we had "Lunch and a Movie" at Monica's house and what a delightful time it was. She had prepared four varieties soup which were sooo delicious and everyone else brought nibbles and goodies. For the "Move", Monica shared with us her trip to Chile.
Monica you are one "Adventurous Woman" and a talented chief!
Thanks for an enriching visit!

I headed to #2 Son's house for a lovely visit and a sleep over.

Sat. found me having lunch (again) at my favourite spot, The Old Marina with two dear friends, Lilly Lady and Car Kid. I just love when we share our memories as well as new challenges (like learning the capabilities of MS Vista!)

Now I need to make preparations for my visit with L'll Sis and hubby in Florida for a week and celebrate my big "65th" Bday.
Oh how the years fly when one is having such a "good" time!

Till next time...

~~~~~~~~HERE'S ANOTHER DANDY PIC!!!~~~~~

I took this shot just minutes ago follow the big "HO HUM" snow storm. I had to run some errands in town and for a very short time there were White Outs however I got home safely. The texture of the snow was perfect for making snow people.
L'll Sis can I interest you in a snowball fight?

Till next time...

******Here we go again!!!!!yup,

this time our area is under a
"Snowfall Warning!"

I received this info from L'll Sis who, by the way is in Florida with Hubby and has been there since Nov. '07 and won't return north till late April.
She's an avid computer buff and don't ya just love the Internet?
She wondered if I was aware of the pending storm and my reply was...

"Just another day in the neighbourhood and the snow will melt!"

I'll keep y'all posted as to how much snow we receive and if I have to do
any digging!

Till next time...

~~~~~Will you look at that.....not bad for the last day of winter!

Following a very overcast and cold winter day Mother
Nature decided to throw a little spectacular colour our way.
Pretty cool eh?

Till next time...

~~~~~Well, March 17th St. Patty's Day has come and gone and shame on me for not posting ( my dad just rolled over in his grave and said "The top of the morning to ya!").

I had a very busy day running errands and stuff and in the evening I was invited to a dinner party to celebrate the "17th" at Sam and Charlene's.

What a wonderful evening and the food was fantastic.
Charlene had prepared corned beef and cabbage and roasted baby spuds. Only she could give cabbage the special treatment that her guests could hardly believe that what they were eating was cabbage....Oh so yummy!

And following a Baileys chocolate mousse for desert she topped off the meal with Irish Cream liquor.

We chatted and laughed the evening away...making memories!

Thanks you guys for a very fun evening!

Till next time...

This top pic is of my driveway following a good workout
with the snowblower and a few hours of sunshine

My little buddies, Sam and Dixon are enjoying some refreshing
RO water from the little statue of a cat holding a dish which
their mommy gave me as a gift. Aren't Just too cute?

Till next time...

~~~~~CAN YOU BELIEVE IT ~~~~~~~

This is what I saw this morning, two deer

walking across the neighbour's lawn.

It is my first sighting of the deer this year!


ENJOY!

Till next time...

~~~~~JUST IN TIME.....On Tues. I was invited to visit dear friends Jim and Jean in Stratford for lunch and what a lovely lunch it was at the Sun Room. We had real good time chatting and laughing until the tears came.

The day was spectacular, bright sunny skies and very clear roads a perfect day ...for our area and at this time of year....to travel. Weather reports put all of us under a Winter Storm Watch and that was hard to believe as I spade along the back roads to Stratford. It had clouded over as I approached their house and the same overcast skies remained until I got home which was about 4:30 pm.

Then at about 7:oo pm. much to my surprise there was the most fantastic SUNSET I thought I would cry!

I am totally blessed to live here and witness such brilliant displays by Mother Nature.

And yes, we did get a good wallop of snow over night but not the freezing rain that other parts of the Province received.

The good part of the snow was the fact I had a real cardio workout before my noon hour fitness class that is always so much fun.

I'll fill you in on that "class" later!


Till next time...
