Yep its Tuesday, and Christmas shopping done all in one day !

Where are we today ?
Rock Glen Resort Arkona Ontario

        What day is it today? It's sometimes really hard to keep track when we are retired, stopped our friends place today and they have the perfect clock on the wall. We retired people need to know when the weekend is here so that we can hide from those "weekend warriors" You know those people who still work for a living, and rush to get everything done on the weekend. We have all been there.

        Supposed to be a rainy day today, but only had a light drizzle until about 10 o'clock this morning, then sunshine. Tuesday is a perfect day to shop and hoping it was gonna rain made it even better. But alas no more rain, so I hopped in the car headed to Strathroy and got our Christmas shopping done, needed to pick up gifts for two grandsons and birthday and Christmas gifts for our one granddaughter. Three hours later back home in time for a late lunch (bowl of homemade soup) and sorted out the gifts. Just gonna wrap them tomorrow, maybe.
        The country drive there was about twenty minutes and noticed some of the trees are beginning to show their fall colors, looking good I think. Just have to share some with you in case your area is not quite ready yet.

        Back home just putter around a bit and had a nice visit with Rich and Marylou, checking out the new car they picked up, their van passed away the other day and it was time. We chatted for quite a while and enjoyed the wonderful fall weather as well. Said our goodbyes in case we don't see them again this week, (we are leaving here on Thursday) and wish them a safe and healthy winter.

         We stopped by to see how Trish was making out with her Genealogy, and do believe she is hooked, this can be an all consuming hobby as Suzie can attest to, she is still hooked after many years and thousands of hours doing research.

        Then home to prepare our Spaghetti Squash for supper and make a nice pot of spaghetti sauce to slather all over it. Almost like real spaghetti except no wheat, no gluten and low in calories. We enjoy it when we can pick it up.

        Cut in half, remove the seeds and 10 minutes in the microwave its done. wrap with a towel, scrape out the spaghetti like strands and serve just like spaghetti with you favourite sauce. A slice of garlic bread and cheese, we have an awesome supper, and lotsa leftovers too. A couple lunches for me.

oh so good!

        That was it for today, enjoyed nice weather, christmas shopping all done, fresh air, exercise and visit with a few friends, yep life is good.

        Thanks for the read, hope your fall day was as good as ours.
