OMG---- I forgot to blog this morning--- I am so so sorry--- Yu see, it was minus 23 C this AM----and I took Lopez out and he refused to do his business outside and ran as fast as he could back inside---then did his business in the house--I was upset---but--- with the wind and the coldness, I guess I didn't blame him-but--he refused to use the pee pad too-
I took off to the expensive grocery after that, for bananas and an enormous grocery order--$371 --I heard that there was no fruit or veggies at No Frills, due to all the truckers at various border crossings--I guess the truckers who carry our groceries to the North here , could not get thru--And--now I hear that Son #3, the Policeman, has to go to Ottawa on Monday to help them out there--to try to get rid of all the anti- vaxers --He does not want to go, but has no choice-- Ottawa is about 8 hrs from here ----
So, it has been a very busy day for me-- Oh--one more thing- I bought 2 new shovels---- I love these shovels--They are lighter than my old shovel!
To-morrow is a new day, and I will be home here all day --after that blizzard we had yesterday and all the shovelling I did-- We must stay strong---Lord love a Duck! --One never knows when we will need to maintain a different lifestyle-- I think there should be a book on what will happen as we age!
Hugs my friends!
Well there you are. Glad to know you are ok. Very nice picture of you in your office.
ReplyDeleteWhat a grocery order..ouch.
Lopez isn't making me happy. Sure wish he'd get it.
Hoping your son will be safe in his travels to unravel the truck situation.
Stay well, safe and warm.
Hugs
Good to hear you just forgot to post. I was worried about you. Yes grocery prices are very high and getting worse. Time to think about planting a big garden this summer and getting back to freezing and canning fruit & veggies. Fortunately I am too old to worry about doing that anymore but I certainly did my share in the past. Have you decided yet whether you want to give that wee rascal to your son at least until summer?
ReplyDeleteWow, your grocery order sounds like mine....I went and just got the
ReplyDeletethings we were out of......
The folks that sold you poor Lopez sure conned you! Just to get the money. So many breeders have no business doing that. This peeing and pooing indoors will go on. Sorry for you. Yes, those lazy bum truck drivers are the cause now. I guess we have no choice but to get used to them doing that.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you've got a good amount of groceries for a while. We have to go do a big shopping trip this week.
ReplyDeleteHopefully Lopez will learn.
Hugs to you, as well, my friend.

Yep, food & gasoline prices soaring, housing here is ridiculously expensive and many long-time inhabitants being priced out by soaring taxes, etc., etc.
ReplyDeleteHoping your son remains safe and that all-out violence does not happen there in these crazy times.
Prices are going so high at the grocery store. And gas is going up again tonight by 4 cents. So it also cost more to go get them! Poor Lopez - guess he is a warm weather dog! You would think they would have done something in Ottawa by now. Police chief keeps saying he needs more people to do something. I guess your son will be one of them - hope things go ok.

ReplyDeleteoh the ridiculousness of it all
The truckers don’t care that their own families won’t be able to get food, even if that’s not what they haul?
Praying for a peaceful resolution and that all stay safe. ❤️
Glad you are ok . . . I checked for your blog and it wasn't there. This pandemic has brought out the best in some and the worst in others . . .so sad.
ReplyDeleteOH Lynda, my little stinker Miss Lilly is the same way. WE were only @ -14C but she was NOT having any of it. **SIGH** Like you, can’t blame her.
ReplyDeleteHOLY EXPENSIVE SHOPPING! $371 – yup . . . that’s a lot. And w/o fruits and veggies! MY shopping was mostly fruits and veggies. It . . . is . . . expensive.
Oh gosh, my prayers for Son #3. What a horrible situation w/those truckers. Wishing he and all his colleagues all the best, and pray for peace. Those truckers are selfish . . . indeed, do they not
'get' that this affects their own families?????? **SIGH** Do not understand.
Hurray for lighter shovels. I can’t deal w/the heavy ones either. You pile the snow on the shovel and . . . can’t lift it if the shovel is too heavy (at least *I* can’t)
Take good care, be safe, stay well.
hugs and blessings

Glad everyone was okay and you were just really really really busy!!
ReplyDeleteYour last pic or poster wouldn't load on my Kindle! I will be very happy when my apt is finished. I will be moved back in and have my pc again! But first...Hawaii!
ReplyDeleteI hope with all that shoveling you are getting lots of rest.
Praying your son is safe! {{{HUGS}}}
Reading backwards through your blogs... already answered today's, but I hadn't mentioned the truckers. Sure wish we'd get past all this foolishness.
ReplyDelete((HUGS)) to you too.
