A nice sunrise then a cold wet windy day, but we kept ourselves busy cozy and warm inside.

Where are we today ?
 clic a pic to enlarge it
      After a fun busy day yesterday and we had a wonderful sleep,  Another cold one and 34F (1 C) at 5am. So I hopped outta bed turned on some heat, had my oatmeal and coffees, along with some computing, and the beginning of a nice sunrise. Not windy and thinking about a nice walkabout, but nope, the predicted rain began and looks like it could be all day long. So I took a wet country drive into and around new Hamburg checking out things that have changed. Always things changing.
nice sunrise through the trees
after chatting with her Dad we
 followed them to Stratford
            Then home to putter around for a while commuting and purging some pictures then we headed into Stratford with her Dad, Brother and Sandy for lunch at Swiss Chalet her Dad's favourite restaurant . Dennis, Sandy and her Dad are going to visit their brand new family addition. at the Stratford hospital,  Greg's (Dennis and Sandys's son) and wife Shelley just had another baby Girl, Meredith Brooke 8 lb 5 oz. third girl for them and another great grand baby for Suzie's Dad.
      At Swiss Chalet I wanted to try something a little different for a change so today an entre salad Sweet Heat Salad, now this was amazing!, chicken breast with a tangy Thai sauce, fruit and veggies all tossed with a Kiwi Lime dressing, oh my this was heaven and quite filling.Suzie had her usual 1/4 chicken dark meat, baked potato and small caesar salad tasty as usual..
this was a huge amazing salad
no more plastic straws filling the landfills,
these are old style cardboard
           We headed home after making a quick stop at Walmart,  man was it cold 34F wind gusts to 34MPH making it feel like 23F  (-5C). And still drizzling, no sunshine all day, did I say it was cold? Yes its cold. Glad we have our Blue flame heater keeps us toasty inside. Plus our coach is well insulated with dual pane windows, perfect to keep the cold out or very hot weather. Only slightly warmer tomorrow and maybe some sunshine that will be better, by Thursday will be wonderful again for a bit we hope.
still drizzly cold and windy
      Now a bit later it really got windy the two pictures below are of these same trees, yup we can even feel the wind in our coach a bit too, it is pretty solid.
we could really hear the wind now
      A relaxing afternoon , reading , computing and watching a Sunday afternoon movie, just like we used to do on the cold winter days in our house here. No supper tonight after that excellent lunch, maybe a popcorn snack later on.

        I got a message from daughter #1 that our Grandson #3 (13 years old) has got back into writing his blog again. This time a renewed interest in cooking.  He is a fun guy and his brain always thinking . This posting is about experimenting making pizzas with all 3 of his recipes posted as well as a fun video. If you care to check it out and even make a comment I am sure he would be thrilled. you can read his blog HERE. Dave's Adventures on my Blog List right sidebar.

        Glad that you dropped on by today and hope your day was much warmer than ours was.

  1. I guess you are used to cold temperatures, do not know if I would have it in me but at least it will soon warm up though I have no idea how warm it gets in Canada.

    That restaurant seems to have delicious food, quite eye catching colors in the salad. Keep warm.

    1. We lived in these cold winters for 50 years or so , thats why we full-time and can head south in the winter. Summer temps can be be be in the 80's, 90s' and even a few days 100 or so, should soon be in the 70's and will be nice.
      They are famous for their rotisserie chicken bu have expanded, I did love this salad a nice healthy change.
      We warm inside no problem.

  4. Yes it is still very cold for this time of year. At least you are warm. Always nice to try a new meal at a restaurant. Thing is we always have the same favourite over and nice. Time for a change. Nice blog and very well done for a thirteen year old. Interesting how he is into food as you are. It would be nice if he showed us what that science project was.

  8. It was a nasty cold day but we had too much going on, good things, that it didn't even fizz on us. :) Those are good days!
    Very cool that your grandson writes a blog. I'd be surprised if ours, Zach, doesn't do the same. He reads mine. Your salad looked good but I'm sure too hot for me! :)

    1. Yes when you are too busy to worry about the cold weather it is a good thing. It is kinda cool, and he seems to enjoy doing it, at least he is having fun with it and experimenting with food.
      The salad was excellent and nt really hot (in my mind) sweet and tangy is more like it.
