We have had good rains these last 3 days, and it has dropped the temperatures dramatically (as low as single digits) and forced us to remain indoors.
Tuesday, I was up early, washing clothes between 6 and 8am. Then I cleaned and restocked the hummingbird feeder. I even broke down and cooked a steak dinner of beef medallions wrapped in bacon... with the potatoes I had previosly frozen, plus corn. I should have realized that beef medallions are not filet mignon, and the meal was a huge disappointment. I did get to use the toaster oven that Jill had donated to me, and it worked perfectly.
Yesterday, I heard that my good friend KJ had a pacemaker installed and was now in a facility in Gibbons with homecare. We had a long chat, and he seems to be very happy in his new digs. I will have to figure out a way to get out to visit him, as we are both in the same boat with limited transportation... I don't think it would be wise of me to try to get to Gibbons with the Gio...
I had an afternoon meeting with a rep from FAFA, an organization dedicated to helping French-Canadian seniors, the group that has a $10 BBQ bus tour planned June 29 to Peaceful Valley, south of Pigeon Lake, that is dedicated solely for seniors. It should be interesting, so I signed up. It was also suggested that I sign up with the FAFA group as well ($15 annual) as they have many activities that could be fun and interesting, such as an upcoming week of sporting activities that we can join in... I will have to research that today.
With the end of the Stanley Cup Playoffs (congrats to Las Vegas), TV is pretty boring, but I am reading a lot more and need to return books to the Library today. I hope there is a break in the rain today to allow this. Maybe it is also time to watch some of the movies I have saved on Prime...
I also am awaiting a few more Conn Iggulden books to be ready for me at the downtown Library as we are quite inpressed with the style and research of his writings. I will be picking up, for sure, the fifth of the Emperor series about Julius Caesar and descendants as it is on hold for me. Then I will get into a couple of other series, one about Genghis Khan, and also one about the Athenians... I am quite excited to get into those after enjoying the first 4 books of the Emperor series. History is fascinating when skilfully interwoven with fiction.
Today, I will be packing to go to Fernie, BC in the morning with family for the Celebration Of Life for our brother Laurent and his wife Cathy. I doubt that I will be blogging during the trip, but I never say never....
I hope you enjoy the pictures. That was the day’s excitement.
