A busy weekend!

Well,seldom do I have the whirlwind social life I've had this weekend! Friday I was invited by Patty to join her at the Rotary Club of Windsor's annual, Wines of the World event. The food and wines were glorious! The company wonderful and the whole evening just a great time. We came back to my house afterwards and Michelle was there, home from school for the weekend. We stayed up until 1:30am! For me, at my age... that's a late night!

Saturday night Michelle and I went to see Stuart McLean of CBC Radio at the Chrysler theatre. His show, "The Vinyl Cafe," is one of our favourites. It turned out to be a live taping for future use on CBC so it was especially interesting. Mich got the tickets for me some time ago as an early birthday present.

Sunday, Rodney took us shopping in the States! OMG I have discovered a new and wonderful thing called a Payday candy bar! Caramel and peanut butter centre covered with salted peanuts! The sweet/salty combination is amazing! I'm NOT giving any out for Halloween, they are all mine. So that's the Butterfinger and Payday candy I'm hording ... I may have to go back over the border to get some stuff to actually give the kids!

On the road again...

Ann, Joey & Tyler are in Israel. Patty & Dan are in California, Rodney is in Florida. My youngest sister Sarah, Claude & Patrick are visiting London, from Montreal. Allison is in Toronto as is, according to her facebook page, my sister Sandra.

Me, I'm here, at home. I spent part of the morning scanning some of my stamps and emailing some of the pictures to people. I organized them some more, it's a big job!

I'm listening to CBC radio, Stuart McLean's Vinyl Cafe. I just finished making a big pot of stew. (With the onion cuts in huge chunks so Michelle won't inadvertently eat one!) I'm making home made biscuits to go with it. The ones Bob lovingly calls "hockey pucks." I think I'm feeling the urge to make a batch of cookies too! I've only stepped outdoors to fill the bird feeder early this morning.

It's a good day! :)
