Door and phone going crazy again. Rainy day too. Jack and Nancy stopped in and we had a coffee and chocolate chip cookie.

My computer is back with a used hard drive. At least everything is there and it works. John worked hard all day and still has a few more to do. But the pressure is off.

A beautiful warm sunny day and I have a terrible sinus headache! I had lunch outside at the patio table at work. John did 2 loads of laundry.

Saturday April 20

Left for Brian's at 10:30 and went through snow squalls and sunshine on the way there. Goderam was flooded but the roads were OK. I took lots of pictures. Virginia and Tony and Sean & Tammy had to detour because of roads washed out near Bancroft. It was a great 65th birthday party for Brian with lots of family and friends and Rotarians there. The food was catered and delicious.  We got home at 8:30.

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.

Tuesday April 16

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

Wednesday April 17

Work. Had lunch at the Lighthouse and I enjoyed the pizza.

Thursday April 18

Did the summer clothes change over and it took all day. John went to Lion's. Christopher called and all is well in Cornwall.

Friday April 19

BH still closed so had lunch at Banjo's in Hasting. Not as impressed as the last time.

Saturday April 13

All the ice has dropped out of the trees and looks like snow under them. Some people still without power. Went to Mass at 5:00

April 12 - Ice Storm

Friday April 12

Ice Storm! Lost my clothes line tree and lots of branches. There are a lot of danglers (broken but didn't fall down). Took lots of pictures. Our hydro went out a few times but only for minutes. Nancy has been out since noon and Carole and Harry have no power.

April 7 to April 11

Picked my first blue flower today and took it to BH. Had breakfast with Lou and Carmel. Warm but windy and cloudy, some rain. John worked all day. John talked to Joan and we will see her at 50's tomorrow. Supper at Lou and Carmel's. It was lovely.

Monday April 8

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.

Tuesday April 9

Work as usual. Had coffee at BH after. Warm but cloudy.

Wednesday April 10

Joan was here to see the bedroom and for breakfast as she had blood work done at the doctors office. She took me to work. Lots of running around after work (for work). Raining and a winter storm warning is in effect! Enjoying coffee from our Keurig.

Thursday April 11

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! It was supposed to be a bad weather day with freezing rain and snow. Didn't happen! Might get it tonight and tomorrow. John has Lion's directors tonight.
