A little project for the beginning of the new school year  either for your favourite student or your favourite teacher.

Jean, this one is for you, all we Canucks hang out at Tim's. LOL.

Ray and I shopped for our groceries today and after we were done we went to Mr. Ho's. It is so nice to go there as they all remember us and aks where we have been. It has been a while since we were there as we ususally go when we have company and not much company has come our way recently. We ordered three dishes as the give you huge platters of food . Of course we cannot eat it all and took some home for dinner tonight. We had Chow Mein, Boneless garlic fried pork and Almond Gai Ding.

After that we came home. I put the groceries away as Ray had to go out again. Then I washed the apples, tomatoes and radishes, dried them all off and put the radishes in a container.

My next job was to wash the fabrics that I bought  yesterday, dry them and iron them all along with some I had here already. I also ironed Ray's shirt so he would not have to do it. He does do his own ironing if I don't get there first and beat him to it.  
Here he is ironing something ,I don't know what it is though. He ironed a shirt the other day. He can do everything!

Searching out things I want to put on the blog also takes quite a bit of time. 
 It is hard to find time to sew. Maybe tomorrow but I do count washing and handling the fabric as actually sewing as it is a part of it. So today was a bit of everything.

Among the heather , my lovely DIL Lisa in Scotland. With Adam. I like this photo of her.
They are having a wonderful trip and are there for a month. I think they will be home soon.

Richard is now in Newfoundland on the last leg of his cross Canada trip. I hope it has been a wonderful time for him. He has not sent any photos. Emma and I were asking him about that. No answer so far.


I called Peter tonight and he is still in Calgary, but says he will be coming home next weekend and will visit us.



Jim is out on his farm, I call it a farm but it is acreage and he has it all set up for camping. 
Jim is
the one in the rose coloured shirt.

That's all folks.
Have a lovely evening. It is beautiful here.

Good evening.
