Salut mes amis!
I went to bed last night at 9:00 pm. I was out almost as soon as my head hit the pillow and got in a full 12 hours. Boy did that ever feel good!
This morning, I picked-up a $10 Orange Shirts with a nice logo of the "Every Child Matters." It was only $10 and I got it for Jay for helping me last week. Orange shirt day is tomorrow but I wore mine today and will wear it tomorrow too. I wore it today as many of the places I might have gone tomorrow will be closed.
I went for lunch downtown today. Another lovely meal. I really love it when they serve ham! We have Canada's largest pork processing facility (McCain's) in Brandon and they donate meat quite often.
I then came home and treated Opal to some more banana chips. She seems to have tried out the treat log I got her too. It is Timothy Hay with other kinds of treats rolled into it.
At 3:00 pm, the Food Rescue Store opened. It is closed tomorrow so I wanted to see what they had today. I got a beautiful head of cauliflower for $1.00! And then for $1.50 3 packages of extra crispy English Muffins. They also had on individually packaged Pasta and Feta Cheese salads. They are SO GOOD! I got 4 of them for lunches for the next couple of days. That was my big take of the afternoon.
I am now back from all my travels and watching the news on the results of Hurricane Ian. WOW did Fort Myers EVER get obliterated. Holy smokes! I don't know what the people are going to do as most don't have insurance and the FEMA coverage (I just read) only covers about $38K. That won't get you a lot in that market and it certainly won't rebuild a home. YIKES!
I have some more cleaning and what not in the kitchen to do. That won't take long.
Tomorrow, our LIon's Club is selling 50 pound bags of potatoes for only $10!! A usual $10 pound bag costs $10!! Being Irish, that doesn't sound like a lot of potatoes! LOL
I believe they will keep well and last almost all winter but I will also likely share with anyone in need. They apparently sell out quickly so I am going VERY early to make sure I get some this week.
I leave home for the weekend tomorrow too. I am Babysitting Lily Gurl while her Pawrents and boy are away until Sunday. I am quite looking forward to it.
Florida,
I am glad you are home safe and sound! Whew!
Patty,
I am sorry you got sick. I hope some Tylenol and lots of rest will put you in the pink again. Prayers for Hobbes as he gets ready for his big surgery!!
That's the skinny from around here!!
MJ
Hope has a good imagination.
