Today I phoned my grandpa first thing as it is his 80th birthday! Happy Birthday Valentine Hornby.

To celebrate I cooked Bobby a meatloaf, with mashed potatoes and veggies.

He surprised me with red roses and a rosey champagne.

It was lovely…
For a Hallmark holiday…

What is your favorite fruit?

Bob and I have been dreaming about him finding a job with Parks Canada. He is in need of a career change… this path seems like a good one to try.

He is applying to the positions that interest him and also some Civic jobs for park maintenance.

If he gets it we will have to move…

Adventure…my friends…

Until we meet again.

This past Wednesday I had surgery to fix some endometriosis spots and have been taking it easy since.
Bob has been pulling all the weight to ensure I have a smooth recovery.
This morning however I could rest no more so I made some wholewheat pancakes with strawberries, bananas, and flax.
They were super tasty!
I am bummed to miss Zumba tomorrow night but am glad to have the surgery behind me.
Upwards and onwards!

This morning I awoke to pouring rain… Which no matter how acclimatized I think I am still can over power me into a little funk.

The lucky gal that I am had no idea what to have for breakfast…

Luckily Bob had been preparing for me to awake and had an egg melt with hashbrowns, fresh fruit and yogurt with yummy local coffee ready!!! That guy always surprises me!!!

Breakfast was able to raise my mood and Bob and I ventured into the thick rain to walk the pups!

Supper is Greek salad!! Yum! A very good food mood weekend!

Tonight Bobby and I ate a late supper of homemade coleslaw and yam fries with yummy avocado burgers… Better a late supper than to bed without!

Improv dates are so nice! Bob and I have been taking advantage of our sea wall this Winter and having plenty of evenings walking the dogs, chatting and keeping warm with coffee.

It sure helps to dress warm and reminds me how lucky we are to live in such a beautiful place that doesn’t have to work to hard to make us see it.

What is beautiful where you are?

Hey all, with it being so close to Christmas I thought I should engage in making an old family stand by.

I am so used to watching my aunt make these treats that even though we didn’t make them together this year I still felt her presence in my kitchen.

Rocky Road is not for those watching holiday calories, just thought I would warn you!

Take half a pound of butter and melt it on low heat, once melted add 2 bags of chocolate chips (two flavours like milk chocolate and peanut butter), melt these about 90% of the way and remove from element. Add one full bag of marshmallows, they can be coloured or white.
Mix together and spread in a greased or wax paper lined lasagna pan.

Yum!

There you have it!

Cheese had his first bath last night, he needed one! He wasn’t too certain about it but did well!

It seems that blogging has fallen behind yet again! I have been working full time which has caused a lot to fall behind… Mainly chores!!!
I need a routine!

I have started Zumba, once a week I dance away the stress of the week and I have been loving it!!!!

If you have yet to try it DO IT!

The dogs are settling into a nice friendship and are sure enjoying each other!

Bob and I have been busy putting up lights and making the windows festive!

Time to get parcels in the mail!

We have discovered a restaurant on the Coast with tummy yummy food!

The Old Boot

Yum!
