Where are we today ?
Started off today looking at some warm pictures again, really helps set the pace for the day. This was our first year south Nov. 2006, another one of our favorite places to visit. Rockport Texas.

Then home, got a text from daughter number 2 that they were at the Chicopee Ski and Summer resort in Kitchener with the kids school, snowboarding for the day. Only 30 minutes away and we had some free time so Suzie and I took a quick trip to check things out and a nice visit with them.

They did spend almost an hour here and may get back to us, another couple coming to see the house tonight at 7 pm. So were are getting some action before listing the house. Its just a wait and see situation.
Now Suzie back home about 4:30 I can begin super. Picked up some sole fillets at the store this afternoon after my indoor walkabout, couple miles at the Wilmot Rec center.
We like this product below for fish, a very nicely spiced coating for frying fish. Was fried in coconut oil (couple minutes) until nicely browned. So tasty, it was and added to a yummy salad and a bit of our of our Turkey Waldorf salad from the other night.
Now after supper (7pm) another showing of the house from another interested couple. If nothing comes of these tours the house will probably be listed in the near future.

| Sure hit the spot! |
That was our fun day, (busy), warm memories and fun times on the ski slopes with our grands. The best of both worlds.
Check out the interactive map below to see where we have been this past Winter.
Now there is a wonderful reason to be home during the winter. You got to make some awesome memories with Daughter number 2 and Grandson number 1.
ReplyDeleteYes thats what we are doing too. Not in our game plan but sure works for us.!
DeleteThat snow boarding looks like fun.... but it looks like good balance is essential.
ReplyDeleteYes Sharon thats the whole trick is the balance, then its great!
DeleteMy very first time on downhill skies was there on the bunny hill at Chicopee. Am thinking that was the winter of 94/95.
ReplyDeleteI never had any desire to ski, or the money to do it with either.
DeleteThat should read 'skis' & not skies......There is a difference you know:))
ReplyDeleteHa, ha. I did not notice until you pointed it out.
DeleteI'm glad to see you're making the most of that snow. Snowboarding is fun as long as there's lots of snow and you don't get hurt. These are memories in the making for those grandkids of yours.
ReplyDeleteI am sure if I tried it I would get hurt, best to watch the young ones.
DeleteFish Crisp, hmm, going to look for it. We like our Tilapia loins fried in coconut oil too but sometimes I like to offer up a change. Not sure if my store has it but I'll check it out! :)
ReplyDeleteIt is very light and tasty and a nice change.
DeleteI have seen it at Canadian Tire, Bass pro, Home hardware, Cabella's and most grocery stores a favorite of fishermen.
Canadian TIre sells food? Not in BC.
DeleteContessa have seen the fish crisp in where the fishing lures etc.. are in some stores.
DeleteSure looks like an aweful amount of snow to melt before we get back up in that area!
ReplyDeleteYep there is, possibility of a lot of spring flooding, if it thaws too fast.
DeleteLooks like a fun little hill to learn on. I can imagine you are really ready for spring.
ReplyDeleteYes we sure are ready, getting impatient .
DeleteQuite the contrast between Rockport and Ontario. I'll be you're are really going to enjoy next winter in the southwest!!
ReplyDeleteWe enjoy every winter in the southwest, just this one was not long enough.
DeleteNeat that the entire family snowboards together. Sending you positive thoughts that the house sells before you list it. Just think of the thousands you will save in a commission fee.
ReplyDeleteThey do enjoying things together as much as possible.
DeleteThis house is very nice and the view overlooking the Nith river is amazing.
It is those warm memories that will see you through the Ontario winter. Good luck with the sale.
ReplyDeleteThanks,
DeleteThe warm memories seem to be working.
