Back after making a menu for 10 days for my hockey billets and my co-op student who will in charge while I am gone. Freezer is stocked and they will do fine.
 
Today Seeleerman and I will be picked up by a driver from our church and taken on a Mystery Tour (an annual event for our Seniors' group). We will share the ride (destination unknown) with a very congenial group, meeting the entire grooup and their volunteer drivers for lunch, and then an afternoon of entertainment. Seelerman is trying to guess our destination. Clues: L&LJ are being picked up at 10:30, then us, then Cliff. Pick-ups from east to west in the city, Cliff near the TCH. We usuaslly arrive at our destination around noon. So about an hour's drive, max, from town. East or West on the highway? Or maybe cross or branch off the highway and turn south? Or possibly we'll turn our backs on the highway and cross the river going north?
Another day without much time on the puzzle. Saturday, out all day - no pieces. Sunday - 8 pieces. Monday, out most of the day, but got 8 pieces last evening. So I'm not keeping up with my target of 10 pieces a day. Still, aiming to be finished by Christmas.
 
Thus enigmas tend to be interminable ... like the human matrix ... often finding itself in a dervish ... un peace'd?

This may be a wind in the valle ... or just a brae'n storm inn 'a dark hole ... it's alt mine ...
 
That sounds like a fun event Seeler - I will await your report of the day with curiousity!
 
A Mystery Tour sounds like so much fun. I just got back from the vet with my dog, Faith. Faith is an 11plus year old miniature schnauzer, and my best buddy. She has a lump. This is the first vet visit when they didn't finish with "She's in perfect shape!" I knew this day was coming. I will keep an eye on the lump to see how fast it grows. Then there are options and decisions to make if it grows quickly.
 
My sister, her daughter and her grandson were in an accident day before yesterday in Manitoba about an

hour from Wpg. Grandson-broken femur. They have operated. He ill be home inn 5 or 6 days.

My niece is having surgery at 1 o clock. 8 vertebrae which will be fused. Long surgery and long

recovery, we think.

My sister was running on adrenalin. Yesterday ,it hit So sore. Can't lay or recline. Sitting in

straight chair.

We are thankful that they are all alive
 
Oh crazyheart - how shocking such incidents are for everyone. Glad they all survived. Prayers for positive outcomes from their surgeries, and uneventful periods of recovery. I hope your sister will be carefully monitored - yes, those soft tissue kinds of injuries hurt like hell after the adrenalin wears off - sometimes physio is warranted to keep one moving, and good medical follow-up - sometimes some meds to help muscles stop their painfully reactive spasms. Hugs to you and yours this day.

I love that your dog & best buddy is named Faith. Hoping her lump is a slow growing one, and not a malignancy. In the meantime ... keeping enjoying each other!

:eek: Glad everyone survived but I see a lot of pain there. Hope everyone recovers in good time. All my best wishes to all concerned.
 
Thinking of your family, crazyheart; glad everyone is being appropriately looked after. Prayers for recovery ahead.

Trying a rhubarb relish recipe that requires long cooking. House smells rather awesome...
 
I think I caught a whiff of that relish Bette ... can't wait for it to be ready! ;)
 
Crazyheart - I'm so sorry about your sister's family's accident. These things happen so quickly and can change your life. I do hope that they receive good care and wish them a speedy recovery.

Our Mystery tour went well. Our driver took us west on the TCH, then turned south to the village of Harvey where we were entertained by the Presbyterian church there. Gathering time - admiring a display of hand made quilts (thinking of Tabitha and our other quilters). Some of them were over 100 years old; others recent. One was a queen sized in a red and green Christmas design that would look beautiful on a spare room bed if you were having company over the holiday, or using that room as a cloak room if you were having a Christmas gathering.
Then a delicious salad plate lunch. Followed by a speaker who told us all about the only woolen mill in NB, just down the road from the church. The mill is 150 years old, and has been in his family for about 100 years, five generations including his grandson who will start work there as soon as he graduates from highschool this year. Lots of stuff I didn't know about wool yarn, from the time it comes off the sheep until it is in a skane ready to be sold. Do you remember holding a skane of yarn over your arms, flipping one strand at a time over your hands while your mother rolled it into a ball?
Then singing hymns in the sanctuary to a piano and organ.
Back in town at mid-afternoon, we stopped in an apartment building social room, arranged for by one of our church members who lives there. We had afternoon tea and snacks and then had an old-fashion sing-song accompanied by an accordian. Home by four.
Great fun. But sad that some of our seniors were missing this year, and others are getting older.

Ah, ch. Your family is not having a good stretch. We know what those are like, but it still hurts to see it happen to others. Do what you can but take care of yourself as well.
 
That sounds delightful Seeler! And yes ... I remember holding the yarn skeins for my mother and grandmother ... seemed such a pesky slow thing to me when I was a kid! Now the yarn store has a winder that makes a nice tidy 'ball' of it very quickly! Or if I forget to ask them to wind it, I just put it over the back of a chair & get winding :-)
 
Tis all part of the great weaver ... with a fabricated purpose mire mortals don't understand ...

Mortals are not great on understanding ...
