Leads to....

One thing leads to another.  As I mentioned Poppa noticed some scuzzy stuff on the oven door....so.... he went to Publix and bought some oven cleaner.....

...... and he didn't waste any time getting that oven sparkling.  Now, let me explain something.  When we arrive at the villa each year, it is always spotlessly clean.  Everything is in its place and we feel welcome and at home.  And, each year we try to keep it like that, and leave it just the way we found it.  Now, after meeting the owners, and finding them such nice people, spending an evening with them and getting to know them just a little - it is even more important to us to maintain their villa just the way they like it.  This year, because of that meeting, Poppa is trying to go the extra mile and do some little things that might not usually get done.  For instance, there were two can openers in the gadget drawer.  One worked like a charm - the other one, well, not so much.  Poppa fiddled with it, and fiddled with it - and....

..... he took it apart, got his little file or rasp or whatever that little thing is, filed off a little burr that was on one of the gears - and kazaam - it works like a charm!  I'm not sure why we need two can openers, but should the need arise, we've got them!

Here's another picture of our little Munchkin.  He's growing up sooo fast.  Mommee called the other day.  We had sent Munchie a Valentine card, and when he got it Mommee told him it was from Nanna and Poppa - and he was saying Nanna and Poppa, so she called so we could hear him.  She says  every time he opens the card, he says "Poppa".

And, here's how things look at home in Canada.  I hear that the weather is fairly mild for our area, and there hasn't been a terrible amount of snow.

This is another visitor to Auntie Colleen's bird feeder.  Beautiful isn't he?  I can never figure out why God gave bluejays such beautiful feathers and such an annoying voice.  At any rate, Auntie Colleen does seem to have a knack for photographing the clients at her outdoor restaurant for avians!
