Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Good morning all. When I opened the bedroom blinds this morning I was greeted by a flock of wild turkeys pecking at seeds in the lawn, there must have been 30 walking on the lawns on both sides of the street. By the time it dawned on me to take a picture, most had moved down the street. What a sight! One of the Toms was strutting and fanning his tail. Me thinks mating season. just above freezing but hoping the sun will come out. Making progress on income taxes. I got confirmation yesterday that I have a year from July to file my father’s trust tax form so that can be handled after this crush to get 2023 taxes done. And I have someone experienced that will do it, for a fee of course, which I am happy to pay to get it done right. prayers for those that need them and a celebratory shout out to those cruising or celebrating.
  2. Happy birthday @Quartzsite Cruiser and Mitzi @Overhead Fred. Hope you both have a great day hugs to you @Nickelpenny. Always hard to lose a beloved pet but even sadder when you are so far from home. lovely sunshine today, warming up. DH is itching to work in the garden and has gone to DD’s house to hoe the beds he set up last weekend. Unfortunately it will get very cold again in about a week. My hellebores survived the last bout of cold, hopefully they will survive the next one too.
  3. Good morning all. Chilly here but the sun is shining. Makes such a difference. @kazuwindsor does have a 311 system, phone and online. Not sure if it is an Ontario thing or an individual city thing. I have used it to report our street being missed for garbage pickup, to report dumping at our local park, etc. it works quite well. You get a case number and can monitor the follow-up. we arrived home from our winter in Florida on the day COVID was declared a pandemic. Who knew that our lives would be turned upside down for so long. still working on taxes. Three grandchildren completed. Will complete two adults today. Waiting for paperwork to complete ours and will seek professional help to complete my father’s final return. I’ve encountered an issue I don’t understand. Still have til end of April so all is good. prayers for those that need them and a celebratory shout out to those travelling or celebrating a special event.
  4. @grapau27my condolances to you, Pauline and Sarah. Perhaps her mother will consider reconciliation now. Best wishes going forward. ah genealogy! One of my DGD has taken an interest in the info I have on our side of the family and is researching her father’s side (Scottish). We are in interesting line. My sister and I were born in Germany because that’s where our parents and grandparents ended up after being driven out of Croatia after the Second World War. But, even though they were born in Croatia and my great grandparents were born in Hungary, they always considered themselves German. Technically they are ethnic Germans and ended up in Hungary and Croatia during the time of the Hapsburgs when they ruled all these lands and were giving away land to people who would clear it and farm it. My original ancestors were from Germany, strangely enough from the Frankfurt area where my parents landed as refuges. It was a tough existence for the original settlers and everything they gained was left behind. I have been able to visit the small town in Croatia were my parents are from. Canada has been good us and it really is the only place my sister and I know as I was two and she was one when we immigrated. cold today and getting colder but the week will warm up again, have a good weekend everyone. Prayers for those that need them and a shoutout to those celebrating or cruising.
  5. Another tough decision, Jack, but you know your dog. Wishing you all the best. btw, thank you for mentioning me but Debbie is back doing the meal of the day. I can’t take credit for the great job she does.
  6. So hard to let them go. I still miss my Rocky after many many years. Hugs to you.
  7. @Quartzsite Cruiserhappy birthday to your DH we have clear skies and 10c (52f) this morning but the rain that @dfishis getting now will hit us around noon and we will cool down a bit tomorrow. I spent much of yesterday at the computer starting everybody’s tax files. Amazing how they forget from one year to the next what I need from them. We do have until end of April to get it done! work has started in the garden, clearing debris, planting a few more garlic and getting seeds started indoors. DH is on the hunt for the same romaine seeds he had last year. Unfortunately he didn’t keep the packet those seeds came in so I can’t help him! prayers for those that need them and a celebratory shout out to those cruising or celebrating.
  8. @Haljo1935eere the goats running loose in Arlington in your neighborhood? Quite the police effort to corral them!
  9. Yes, Bienenstich (bee sting cake) is German and I regularly make it for the family. Glad you enjoyed it.
  10. Her newest one, The Grey Wolf, comes out in October. We have visited the eastern townships area where the books take place!
