Was back by 2 yesterday so had a few hours before I had to pick up DS. Honey and I grabbed coffee and walked downtown a bit. Went to RCSS and PM'd the unico canned tomatoes from No Frills. 67 cents is pretty good to me. Bought 12 cans (expire late 2017) Wondering if I should have bought more lol

Yummy recipe. Must try it this month. I love banana bread and now have two different new recipes to try (one with hemp and nuts that is eggless and this French one).

Seems this week is the last hurrah for outdoor yardwork/giving gardens their last cleanup. Used one 5pk of yard bags to take care of areas near the walkways and frontyard so the showers this week don't cause anyone to slip!

Mom's leeks look like green onions but she has about 30-40 of them to cook up somehow. The smaller garden is being levelled (all trees and plants are out) and I guess grass seeding is imminent. I still have another small crop of parsley and a few basil plants to clip. Have asked Mom to trim the rosemary plant-want fresh herb for flatbread, the hummus ball appetizer and soups!

I'd like an inflatable pumpkin on the front lawn now-like the one that rolled around in Arizona last week when its anchoring lines gave way. Would be a cheery site at dusk to see.

What's with the morning fog? Still put out the wash loads from last night on the line though the air maintains a nip despite the warm sun.

Some agencies/government offices/stores will be opening on 12pm on November 11 due to Remembrance Day. Saw the notice at the Beer Store today. Banks are likely impacted as well.

Advice

I paid my hydro bill on Nov. 2nd via Pc financial, I checked today and Hydro still has not rec'd my payment, I did receive an auth #, however, PC bank told me it could take 3 days.....so I'm already 1 day late.

Should I call hydro and say I have an auth# so they don't charge penalty fee. And being a day or 2 late does that affect my credit?

thanks folks

Did you get them snuck in? Bf cut me iff wool....but this weekend when we went to grande prairie i bought twirly scarf wool and slipper wool right in front of him. He sighed and rolled his eyes.

I brought them in today when I came home. He was watching TV so he didn`t notice. He doesn`t cut me off...I tell him I need variety in patterns and I can`t sell what I don`t have.
I have also learned over the years to buy yarn and towels when I see something I want, especially seasonal, because there is no guarantee that it will be available the next year.

I placed an order with Herrschners on Sunday using my PC CC. Last night I noticed there are 2 charges pending...1 from Sunday...1 from yesterday. They are for different amounts. Not sure who I should call.

-came home after lunch at my house and I had to bring her in screaming for a nap at 1.15 she loved it outside

SIL extubated and feeling fine but still in ICU-I think they are just being extra cautious in case she pulls any more stunts! They plan to send her home tomorrow with strict orders to see a doctor at the first sign of a sore throat and I am sure she will be following doctors orders after that scare. Luckily there was one doc on duty at the hospital they flew her to who had seen just one similar case before and was able to figure out what was going on.
