Dinner last night was a nice piece of salmon, some mushrooms that needed to be used up, also some mixed veg. Rice pudding for dessert.
This morning we stocked up the cupboard, fridge and freezer for another week. Prices don't seem to be making any change, higher if anything. We do buy non perishable things which we use when they on sale, saving quite a bit doing that. I only have a problem with the storage, not much in this house, we even have some packaged goods in one of the bedroom closets. Hey, it works and who goes into the closets, only us.
We have sunshine this morning which is carrying on into the afternoon, I like this, however, it is not suppose to last as snow is coming our way. The newspaper this morning indicated our area had the warmest January on record, OK Mother Nature lets work on February being the warmest on record.
The son of our next door neighbour who passed away last year came knocking on our door today, asking us if he could take us out for dinner tonight. He is such a nice young man, and it appears to me he is missing is Father a lot, what son wouldn't, so he sees Hubby as a substitute. This young man is an airline pilot, so we don't see very often.
At 5:00 p.m. on the nose he picked us up and we went to a new Italian restaurant, nothing fancy, the food was nice, we may end up going back another day on our own. We talked for a long while after our meal, an enjoyable evening was had by all.
January 25th. Wednesday.
This post is a combination of yesterday's that did not get published so finished it off today.
Today, we have snow and there is forecast of at least five inches to fall during the next few hours. An early walk this morning right after breakfast, so we did not have to walk in piles of snow later in the day. It was not too bad underfoot, not slippery yet, with the temp on the zero mark it was not cold either.
Today is a grand daughters 25th birthday, it seems just a few days ago her Mum, Dad and I were on a plane picking her up. I won't get to see her for awhile as she is busy with her studies and in this Winter weather I would not attempt to drive the 8 hours to see her. She lives in the capital city of Canada, which is a long distance north of me. When the weather breaks for Spring I might make the trip.
Dinner tonight is the chicken I was planning to have last night, so not much thought required.
I expect you are now in the middle of a blizzard, like us! Probably be snowed in tomorrow and spend the day shoveling. How nice to be taken out for a lovely meal. I'm sure you deserved it as you sound like good neighbours.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely thing for the son to do.
ReplyDeleteI had to laugh at your comment about it not being cold with the temp at zero!
