It's 11:30 a.m. and I still have the lights on because it is so dull and grey outside. Heavy clouds are bringing rain showers on and off today and much of the same for the next several days. Typical weather to encourage the leaves to change and start to fall, which in turn means work in picking them up. We have a lot of trees, picking up the leaves from them is important, if we left them on the lawns, the snow would pack them down and would kill the grass.
Hubby had a visit from his brother and SIL yesterday, they brought us a couple of muffins from Tim Hortons, sinfully good for our lunch, his son and family brought an ice cream cake and visited for a short time, friends sent messages, daughter K, sister A, brother P also contacted him. He was quite happy with HIS day. Not the one I had wanted for him, but he was happy, so that is all that matters.
Daughter B and her husband are leaving Saturday for a vacation in Northern Ontario at the resort. Plans were for them to go to warmer climes but their minds were changed by you know what.
I plan on getting into the sewing studio today, not much can be done outside. Starting a new project, will show you in due course.
Dinner last night was upside down. the ice cream cake was eaten around 5:00 p.m. as Hubbys grandchildren had to go to tennis and Pathfinders, we were not very hungry until about 6:30 p.m. and had our steak etc. then. He was overloaded with sweet stuff yesterday, which is a no no for him, but you only have an eighty year b-day once.
Dinner tonight, not sure yet, must get back on track with eating properly.
Have a great day.
Oh boy, honey.... you'd better have your husband pass the word about his diabetes cos those muffins should have been your husband's lunch.... not an addition after his lunch!! Scary stuff! Didn't you tell me you had a husband die of diabetes? There is absolutely no reason to die from diabetes in today's day & age, with so much knowledge out about the disease. No one should be losing feet, kidney function or eyesight in today's world, from diabetes. But muffins & ice cream cake will definitely do it! Maybe if you start turning down those things, your husband will follow suit. Why don't you go on a diabetic diet and have nothing in the house that's not diabetic friendly. If your husband has a partner.... and if he has to go drive somewhere (by himself) to get things he shouldn't eat.... then he will adhere more to his diet. It's so important! I'm diabetic too so I'm right there in the trenches with you. It's not bad once you get used to it. In fact now, after almost 6 years of it, I can't imagine eating any other way. God bless~ Andrea xoxoxo
