I am amazed.

I’m sharing zucchini chocolate brownies this morning. They are made with applesauce ( from apples my friend gave me), bananas, and zucchini…no eggs but all the other baking stuff. Expect more zucchini stuff from me in the future.

I can never resist a Nanaimo bar so thanks! My plans are simple this weekend…housework, gift shopping and my sister and brother-in-law’s 40th anniversary celebration. I will visit mom too but she has a cold and we can’t take her out of her room. So we do chair exercises with her. Mom is happy...

@ninj ….hope your eyes are healing. And @JayneWonders i had read the CBC article and was pleased to see your name. Our city feels certain tragedies very strongly. Right now it is the death of a young hockey player/university student who was a stellar and well-loved athlete. No cause of death...

Thinking back to Jayne's eye exam....I had one recently and needed new glasses. So I asked for my prescription and I was going to go to a locally owned place to pick out new glasses. My optometrist (new to me, my beloved one retired!) asked why I was going there...I said, "Well, the cost was...

We have a LOT of September birthdays. May is our other busy birthday month.

Mom is 93 today and we are having a small family gathering for her at the nursing home. There will be 12 of us. I made the cake and a salad. My husband is making bruschetta bread and sisters will bring other things. I hope we don’t confuse mom too much and she finds a way to just enjoy it.

I agree with @BetteTheRed about the scaremongering weather reports. Yesterday it was a fog warning. But I think a lot of the news is into fear mongering too. I’m old enough to disregard if I choose to but younger people might let such reports ramp up their anxiety.

Mmmm— I love muffins. Thanks. We had a good old-fashioned downpour last night, complete with a little thunder and lightning. We haven’t had a rain like that in a long time. We might go down to the shore property to keep working on our driveway. It has been a week and a half since we heard from...

My nurse practitioner tells me to eat according to the Mediterranean diet....lots of fruits and vegetables.. I do better with that than I used to.

I eat too many sweets….usually home made desserts. Lately it is zucchini chocolate cake or oatmeal cookies. If I ate meals as delicious as @BetteTheRed makes, maybe I wouldn’t crave sweets. And maybe if baking wasn’t a hobby….

My son is very anti-Carney. He believes what the Americans have said, that Carney pulled out of the talks as a political advantage for him. My son is very invested in a podcast called Moose on the Loose. He also believes that Carney financially gains from many of his policies. I don't...

Yum….strawberry shortcake! I have a couple of giant zucchinis so I will make a zucchini chocolate cake for tomorrow in honour of my daughter’s 35th birthday. Yesterday my husband, with a little help from me, embarked on road building at our family’s shore property. Currently we use a trespass...
