April 14-19

Sunday April 14

Burger Hut closed, I wonder if Paul is sick. His neck has been bothering him a lot. Had breakfast in Havelock and John talked to the cook (business trip). The restaurant was busy as there are still areas without power. John jury-rigged a clothes line for me and I got some things dry but it was cold and dull 6°C. John left his hat at the restaurant and as we had to go back we continued to Campbellford and went to LW and bought mattress covers, windshield wiper for the back of the van. Then on to Giant Tiger for a gift for our Goddaughter, queen size sheets and food.

Monday April 15

Beautiful sunny day. Sunny and high of 16°C. Got two loads of clothes dry on the line. Made two meatloaves for supper but wasn't fond of them.

Work as usual. Burger Hut still closed. I guess he is having staff problems.

Had my 6-month check-up and so far so good. Went to lunch at the restaurant Joan works at and had a nice visit with her. Cosco was next and we bought a queen size fake duvet. Stopped for coffee at BH.  Changed the bed and put the duvet in the cover I had bought at Ikea. Gayle and Diana came to get their taxes done and we had Chinese. Had to go to Havelock as our Chinese restaurant is closed.

Ladies Lunch Bunch day! Had 9 ladies and one granddaughter plus me. Mary W. joined us for the first time. I took a picture on my phone and emailed it to Meghan. Very proud of myself!

A beautiful spring day temp plus 6° C. Went for breakfast and sat with Lou & Carmel. The place was packed and poor Paul & Nichole were run off their feet. Delivered some jewellery too. Came home and did laundry and hung some out on the line. At 7 we went to our Church for the Multi-denominational Palm Sunday Service. Each Church did a reading and each Church choir did a song. Ours went very well. Theo & Dan did the male parts and played their guitars. Nancy did a solo part and Elaine, Lisa, Julia and I did the general parts.

Went to work. Afterwards we had coffee with Nancy at BH and then decided to go to Peterborough shopping. Bought a TV, router, printer, and two light fixtures. Had supper at DQ. Brendon and Ryan were here all day building a box for the fireplace to sit on and they assembled the fireplace.

Wednesday March 27

Went to work. At 3:00 pm John and I did our hour at Church for 40 hours devotion. Harry and Carole were after us so we invited them to supper. Brendon and Ryan here to finish up. Can't match the drawer handles so went to Home Hardware and ordered new ones which we will put on the drawers inside the wardrobes and put the matching ones on the new drawers under the fireplace. They won't come for a week. Had a nice supper with Harry & Carole. Oriental pork chops and baked rice with salad. Heard from Nancy that Joyce has got an infection and is in the hospital.

Thursday March 28

Brendon alone was here at 8:45. He and John put the fireplace on the box he built and set up the TV. He also hung the light fixture but we have a zillion crystals to put on it! He gave us his bill and I paid it. John set up the new router but we had lots of problems and ended up phoning and spent over an hour on two phones getting it set up and never did get it all done but got too hungry and frustrated. Went to BH for Paul's fantastic potato soup and we split a western it was after 2! Had grilled cheese for supper. I played games and then went to bed early with the heat on in the fireplace and watched HDTV in high def. John had 21 tax returns come in today.

Friday March 29

Good Friday so no work. Had lunch at BH. Talked to Nancy and Joyce has an infection which is now in the blood stream and she is on antibiotics and still in hospital and sleeping a lot. Went to the Church service at 3 pm. Watched TV in a warm room. I love my new bedroom!
