GAS has jumped from $133 per litre last week to almost $1.50 today actually $1.49.4. this week. It is outrageous. Things will all go up now to astronomical prices.
Question, do we eat or do we drive. Or do we go to the store for food that we can't afford because we filled our gas tanks . A conundrum definitely.

Rick went to a sushi restaurant. Ray would not og as he does not enjoy the food. So dear Richard had to go alone. I am thinking I should have left Ray at home and gone with Rick. Too late now but Next time I'll go.  We thought our Tassimo was done for because it leaked today. So we went to look for a red  one but put off buying it today. When we came home Ray took a good look at it , cleaned around where the coffee pouch goes and voila! the darned thing worked. So no new red one LOL.

We just went to Tim's for coffee. Then we went to the other side of the Crossings and dropped in to Boston Pizza to pick up a menu and found that they delivered. We did not get a pizza tonight as Rick was going out to visit a friend.  Maybe tomorrow night. 
We dropped in to Canadian Tire too for a look at the coffee machines. 
It was a lovely day so we walked across the Crossings to enjoy a sunny day. It was delightful. 

We did Rick and Ricky's laundry. They had a lot of it because they were unable to get to the laundromat due to Rick's heart attack.
That was it for the day.

Quilts of Valour . Geometric quilt tutorial . There are other good things on this site so take the time to look around and enjoy.

This pup is a cutie . I love the look on his face. This is a dog I would like to own. But in this apartment it just wouldn't work. So I enjoy the picture.
This photo speaks for itself LOL...



Some dogs just can't get it right. Haha.
I guess this one also speaks for itself.

Hand art. Very clever isn't it.

I found this to be rather amusing.  I think that is a chipmunk out there on the deck.

This little children's book was written and published by my son Peter McBride and his wife Judith McBride. Congratulations to them for getting this book on the shelves.

And this one is up because I love red and strawberries and this accomplishes both. What a gorgeous bag.
Have a great evening folks.
Good Evening.
