Hopeless!

I really haven't forgotten about my blog.  I simply haven't posted - no excuse - just busy doing other things!  Then I "cleaned" my computer (optimized) and for some reason lost my login and password to get into it.  I finally remembered (and took the time) to look it up...and here I am!


As you can guess by this photo - it has been quite cold here.  Squeegie and Taffy got out their winter coats, mitts and hats.  They look cute, but I sure miss going to Florida for the winter.  Hopefuly we will be on the road again next year!  We are still awaiting a call to give us the date of Poppa's cataract surgery, and he wants to make sure he gets the call, since the waiting list is quite long!  Besides that, he would like to have his new implants before he drives that far!

Just before Christmas, Poppa started a new project.....looks interesting doesn't it?
Can you see it here - all finished?  Look closely, he made a cupboard for more storage - perfectly sized to fit into the little space outside the downstairs bathroom door.  In a condo every little bit of storage space is important and this little cupboard is already full.  We're using it to store spare bottles of water, and tins of iced tea, and paper towels, and coffee pods, and filters for the humidifiers - and anything else that will fit in!
One evening  we went to Canadian Tire (the big store about 20 minutes from home).  When having lunch with Auntie Colleen and Auntie Cecile one day and listening to them chat about how much they loved their countertop ovens, I decided to look for one for us.  So, while Poppa hunted for wheel covers for the snow tires on the car, I checked out the countertop ovens - and here it is.  I'm absolutely in love with it and use it a lot!  For just the two of us, it is much easier to use, instead of heating the big oven.  The silly thing is, I had one at our old house, and didn't think I would have room in the condo - but, I do!
It got so cold here in Canada that Taffy got a snow suit!  She looks so cute!
And she loved it, so we got into the car and went looking at the Christmas lights.  This place was beautiful!
