Yes and this qualified as Black ice- it wasn't seen. I thought about the boots with spikes I gifted my mom with-but they wouldn't have helped. Stairs were bare and I thought path was as well so I would have had spikes up. I was in my month old boots with great treads but obviously not enough.
Path is clear now-after work-and I can limp around and rest.

Tabitha - please monitor your condition carefully for the next few days and if you need to, seee a doctor. Falls are nothing to sneeze at.
I haven't been out yet today but it looks beautiful - sunshine, temps just a few degrees below freezing, light snow from two days ago is still looking prestine on the lawns. Streets are bare. But that light snow on sidewalks and parking lots could be hiding ice patches. I'll have to be careful.

Hope you aren't feeling really sore and stiff Tabitha. Falling sucks.
It looks really nice outside my windows today. Bright blue sky, sunshine, flitting birds, perfect for a long walk. There is only one drawback in the scenario - ice underfoot! As I don't want to copy Tabitha and go for a tumble I will use the treadmill indoors. It doesn't feed my soul like getting out though.

all is working fine today except ankle. The other minor aches and pain and only slightly stiff neck are resolving. Ankle is getting better. It is swollen but I can bear weight on it. Took today off work as walking is painful and I was scheduled to teach a young student biking. Today and the weekend should see big improvements. Thanks for your expressions of care.

Pizza for dinner tonight. It's in the oven. Lots for everyone.
We had a nice day here today - main streets and parking lots are mainly bare again after our little freezing rain and ice storm earlier in the week. But side streets are rough with ruts in the packed snow and ice. Someone at church with their arm in a cast from a fall. Someone away from bowling with a badly spraineed wrist. Someone from dance who fell and hit her head, was checcked out at the hospital and is ok. Please be careful. Tab, continue improving.
Cold weather expected for the next few days. Let's hope it stays cold enough that we don't havee any more freezing rain and ice until its time for everything to melt away in the spring.

Warm here. Enjoying it. Walked to my workout and back yesterday. Slippery in spots but not too bad.
I've received all my seeds I'm going to order for this year - might have a few to pick up in store yet. Mice or something got into the shed. It's probably best if I get some new seed starting mix. Online inventories don't match what's actually in stores though. The warm weather is teasing me. Hopefully I can get some soon - get a head start on some basil at least.

I am doing very well for 8 days later. My Physiotherapist friend and co-worker taped my ankle 2x to reduce swelling. Amazing how quick that helped. Walking mostly without pain but am limiting walking distances. ( I passed on school wide hike today)Very close to all well. Thanks for your concern.

In there a difference between an advertisement and a notice?
I was about to say there was an ad in Thursday's paper about a church breakfast; but the word ad didn't seem right. To me an advertisement is to persuade someone to buy something. A notice gives information.
Anyway Seelerman saw the notice - a nearby Anglican church was having a breakfast on Saturday. We often go out for church breakfasts - the RC church does one a month; the downtown Anglican cathedral on the following Saturday - so we set oout for breakfast. But no cars in the parking lot, no lights in the building, no sign of activity. So we ended up at Tim Horton's for breakfast - a disappointment. I love the cathedral breakfast where they take your order for eggs and then cook them - poached for me, plus freshly made toast and homemade jam, and a choice of bacon, sausage and/or baked beans. Seelerman likes the RC that has pancakes as well, but their choice of eggs is limited to scrambled (often dry from being kept warm).
Anyway, when we got home, he checked the paper. The nearby breakfast will be next week. We'll check it out.

Just back from the local eagle watch event. Farmers feed the eagles twice a day. There can be up to 100 eagles in the area. Today, there were only 10 sitting in the trees and they didn't come down for breakfast. So we went to pancake breakfast instead, with hot blueberry sauce, local sausages and cider and local musicians entertaining.

Watching eagles eating breakfast sounds like a fun event (providing they co-operate, I guess). Tabitha- may I have a bit of your blueberry pancake cake?
I have been busy dealing with our meat purchase - a quarter of beef. The wrapped meat went straight into the freezer. I boiled up the tongue for sandwiches and shared some of it with a son who loves it. , Mr. Curler make liver and bacon for supper one night and also cooked up some steak and kidney. We can have a pie!! It took a while but I used all the bones and scraps for stock so we can have some yummy soups and stews as the winter wears on. I also take frozen soups when we go camping.
Anyway - I have popped some 'samples' in the fridge here so anyone who wants to try these weird things can have a taste or two. Mr Curler took pity on a friend and gave her the heart for her special treat meal. I wonder why offal never seems to be available at grocery stores anymore? Sometimes they have liver but not all the time. I haven't seen kidney, tongue or heart for years and years. What do they do with all that good food?

Goes largely to pet food, I suspect. My local grocery store makes sure there's always some meat for more varied tastes; there's always chicken "hearts and gizzards" for the local Jamaicans, and a small section marked "halal".
My mother, a very poor cook, used to try to cook offal occasionally, to uniformly disastrous results. The beef heart was particularly vile; I believe she tried tripe once.

Room for All
I am home from another couple of nights at Five Oaks. We are to have a business plan together for mid-March, and the hard work, listening, learning, talking, more listening is now coming together as we start to put pen to paper (figuratively of course).
Some old, some new, some faith, some sweat, and...some swearing (on my part). My struggle will be to express the facts without the emotion of my anger at some of the information that I have encountered.
Yet, what a good thing to be able to do.
Got there Thurday night, ate soup that one of our team made and offered to share, then, caught up & went into meeting at 7pm through 930, then visiting, wine and chatter as we hashed over more items in a more social way....I got to bed at 2am, then backup for breakfast at 8a and meeting at 9am, through with break at noon, then, back in again, until 5pm, then, most left, but 2 of us stayed, and we worked on more items until almost 11pm, then some more wine, and visiting....I went to bed around 2am again, and slept until 9:30am! Then up, breakfast, and more chatting with more information received regarding shistorical items re day camp, and then spiritual direction. Left at 2pm. Plus, going through some cupboards and finding things that were not being used, that we could use, etc.
Life is good, there is hope. Plus, I get to work with some brilliant people in various areas, from the calm of finances, to clever of partners & program.
I have hope. Now, let's see if the church sees the same hope that we do.

Pinga, Tatamagouche is in the same financial trouble...is there exchange between the two? It seems to me that people often think they have to invent everything on their own. Like when we amalgamated, it seemed like we were the very first ones and nobody knew how this goes. So there were way too mAny unneccessary mistakes made.
