other things

Nice little pad for the baby in your life.


This is so lovely and useful too for your dinner rolls. The fabric just glows and makes it even  more attractive.

It is late, I had things to do, one of which was to delete all the racked up deletes on my  mail. I had difficult with getting things to send. I had to call Shaw and the young man was very good. We solved the problem with his good assistance. More trouble with the internet. Then I had a lot of mail to read so that just added to my problems.

Our day started with going to London Drugs for a fan for the bedroom. All they had were large ones , the same as Walmart had and no of any use to us. Foiled again!
We decided to go to the casino close by  in Burnaby.
We played there for a few hours, didn't win but didn't lose a lot either. We had not been so some tine so we enjoyed ourselves. Before we left in the morning I put some country style pork ribs in the slow cooker . They were ready to eat when we got home and they were so tasty. I do love the slow cooker. I don't use it often enough.
Ray called his sister Gerry when we got back home. She is in her mid eighties and losing her sight. Her dad did too but he was not alone like Gerry is. He had Gerry , his wife. Pam his granddaughter , lots of help there. Gerry has one son in the area of Thunder Bay who is very helpful, but she lives alone .
My Rick is living alone too and I worry about him a lot. 
I wish I could go and live with him but right now he is amazing and gets around the country more than I do. What does that say?
  
I found this lovely block Today but nothing about it. Obviously it is some kind of Dresden Plate with  an interesting bit of detail. On further look at this I see it is just a regular Dresden Plate but with the  NEWS pieces with a pointed edge rather than a round one. I am guessing that the centre is made with melons. 

Here's looking at you. Imagine taking this picture head on.  I guess a telescopic lens was used.

I met this beautiful woman at the grocery store and asked her if I could take her picture for my blog. She smiled and said yes. What a lovely woman she is. I hope to see her again.

These two are new to us but look as if they would like to join us. So here they are.

Have a lovely evening folks.
Good night.
