Breakfast With My Sister

Monday, March 2

 

A few days after getting home from Vancouver, I had a breakfast appointment with my sister, who wanted to take me out for my birthday – which had been a month earlier.

 

 

There was barely any snow on the ground at 7:15, so we decided to brave the five or six miles.  Her house is in the background (we live in the same woodlot.)

About the time we started, the storm went into full force – like a blizzard.

 

 

The restaurant was empty, which made us a bit nervous – but we determined to enjoy our breakfast.

 

 

 

 

Since the waitress wasn’t very busy, she was glad to take our picture.  When I looked at this, I thought, “You look like you just woke up.” 

As a matter of fact, I did wake up not long before our 7:30 a.m. appointment because I was still adjusting my sleeping habits from west coast time to east coast time.  (7:30 still felt like 4:30 to my body.)

 

 

As we enjoyed the blowing snow from inside, we began to worry about our drive home.  Nancy was glad that I was driving.  It snowed several inches while we ate.

 

 

Our trusty CRV did get us home just fine.  This was our front yard view later in the day.  We got about six inches of snow.

Today (March 15) it is a bit warmer (45 degrees) and the crocus are blooming.

Supper With Cerwin’s Family

Wednesday, March 4

 

Left to right:  Jakey, Crystal, Denise, Ted, Bryan, Leslie.

Crystal, Ted, and Bryan are children of Cerwin’s brother, Elvin, and his wife, Pat.  The reason they invited us to this meal was to let us know that Jakey and Crystal are expecting their first baby.  They also wanted to introduce us to Ted’s friend Denise.

 

 

Left to right:  Mel and Velda (Cerwin’s sister), Cerwin’s mother, Elvin and Pat.  Cerwin could not be there because it was the evening it suited the finish carpenter to do the trim on the TFC Racine Chapel.

Keeping Ian

Wednesday, March 5

 

Ian is so easy to take care of – even when I am working – as he can occupy himself on one of my computers.

He played with this computer until I was ready to go to my office.

 

 

One of his favorite things to do is “cook” for Mickey and Minnie Mouse.
