A pretty good sleep last night , not as good as the previous two but still better that we have been having. Got some coffee and cereal into me then shortly after 9 we headed into New Hamburg, I dropped Suzie off at her Dads to help him with some computer stuff, Then I headed into Life Labs to let the pretty vampires such some more of my blood. a few minutes a text from Suzie. WE GOT THE APARTMENT ! Yeah!!! from there to the health food store for some natural sleep aides, Pharmacy for some masks for when I go in the hospital, my immune system will be down and don't want to catch any thing like our Doctor advised. No Frills for some Almond milk and Ginger ale that seems to settle my tummy, picked her back up and back home for a light light lunch, I was craving a corn beef sandwich on rye so got some of that yummy hit the spot today.Then at 1:30 we headed into Stratford to sign the one year lease for our apartment and take some measurements. We are moving right along, another few things off our minds, we have a move in date of Nov 7th and plan to move forward as quickly as possible. Furniture is paid for and Francs furniture will move it in that day. Plus will need some help to unload the
We picked up some prepared food at the Zehr's deli counter in Stratford, so that will take care of a few meal here as well. I am not hungry or even feel like eating or cooking, (Suzie can cook), but we will try this for a few days.
I stretched after supper for a bit about 5:30 it felt so good. Got back up and finished this posting, not adding any more pictures, Relaxed in front of the Tv with DR HO on my back and some Sleepy Time Tea winding down even more, hoping to get a real good nights sleep
Thanks for dropping by to and hope y'all had a good one as well.
Good night!
Here is a few snow pictures I have from my past
hope not that this bad this year
I found a few pictures from the winter of 1977 taken and my house in Waterloo at the time. this snow all came down in one day, I vividly remember shovelling, I was shovelling hoping is was all done, running out of places to pile it. I was working at the bus terminal down for the Highway coach. the were grounds here at the terminal as were many people. So we had to keep it open all night so these people at least to give them a place to keep warm there was some hotels available but no way to get there, the city was shut down!These are the only winter pictures I have on my computer though I have many more in storage.

Where have we been this Summer ?
Good for you George, taking a positive attitude! I am so happy you got the apartment and are looking forward to a new adventure.
ReplyDeleteThanks guys moving forward and a new adventure nothing quite like it.
DeleteOMG! I grew up in the midwest but we never saw anything like that! Holy cow! 1977. I had been in California for two years and started my first real job with a computer company. Life is so full of memories, you just have to share them sometimes. That's the best thing about a blog. Hang in there, the corned beef sounds really good. Keep posting.
ReplyDeleteThank Chris it was a snow storm for sure. So many memories from over the years and I will share a few along the way. The corned beef was excellent thanks. Gotta keep posting, just because.
DeleteI remember that snow storm of 77. I and eight other fellas had to spend the night in the factory we worked at in Stratford. Slept on the boardroom floor. That's great you got the apartment. Something good to look forward to getting things all set up. You will be as snug as a bug in rug in there. And no snow shovelling, now that's a bonus.
ReplyDeleteThan was one heck of a storm for sure Al. Glad we git the apartment no snow shovelling and warm, we are looking forward to this new adventure.
DeleteWonderful news. Now you best rest up tomorrow for your big day on Wednesday. Um.. maybe you better add purchasing a snow shovel to that to do list. You might want to shovel a path from the apartment direct to your parking spot. Easier to unload groceries, etc. Sleep well tonight.
ReplyDeleteRest tomorrow is the plan , I have a small snow shovel in the truck of the car, and it will be parked right outside our door or the front doors are under cover.
DeleteThat day might have been the one it took me over 6 hours to get home on the city bus from Waterloo to Kitchener, normally about 45 minutes. Periodically we had to get off the bus and push deserted cars out of the way so the bus could continue. Gord.
ReplyDeleteCould very well be it was a brutal storm for sure.
DeleteNow 1977 was a snow-magaedon for you. Good reason to spend those winters in the Desert Southwest. Congrats on the apartment! Looking forward to some real winter posts!, but you'll be missed in Borrego.
ReplyDeleteThat sure was a storm hope we don't see another, global warming.
DeleteThat was the year! We were in London and had four feet of snow on the level. They shut the city down for TWO DAYS to clean it up.
ReplyDeleteYes it was one heck of a storm, we got the highway coaches on the road next day I believe, but the city cleanup took while..
DeleteCongrats on the apartment. I’m happy for you that you got your wish. Enjoy moving in and hopefully it will feel like home to you in no time at all. Get better soon.
ReplyDeleteThanks Marlene looking forward to settling down for a bit right now the way I feel. Get this issue all fixed up asap.
DeleteGreat news on the apartment. Not having to shovel snow is a life saver.
ReplyDeleteThanks Doug no snow shovelling for ,me anymore I have done my share.
DeleteSo happy for you and Suzie on the apartment. I will be thinking of you this week heading out tomorrow for a few days.Will catch up with you when I return.
ReplyDeleteThanks JO appreciate the thoughts, Now you enjoy your camping trip and and want to hear all about it.
DeleteHey George,
ReplyDeleteWhen you don't feel like eating and I'm sure you'll have more of this in your treatments, go to your favorite thing, chicken noodle soup. There's a reason people used to eat this when they got sick. It goes down easy and it's all good for you, has what you need. For some reason today the doctors recommend everything else, so called healthy stuff, everything but this but it's still the best stuff.
Good health and I hope your winter isn't too bad this year. :O)
Yes Bob nothing like chicken soup had some the other day, and more on the agenda. Hoping for a not so cold, snowy winter.
DeleteCongratulations to you both on the apartment. One less thing to worry about. Hopefully you will not experience anything even remotely like the winter of 1977.
ReplyDeleteThank you M's B another item checked off the like feels good. Don't want to see another winter '77.
DeleteGlad you have a place to live and hope you don't have a winter like that.
ReplyDeleteThanks Larry we will be nice and cozy anon more snow shovelling for me.
DeleteI bet that's a big load off your shoulders. Glad everything has worked out with the apartment. All that snow? No wonder you came south for the winter!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Nancy it sure is moving right along. Really got tired of the cold snowy winters here.
DeleteI echo all the rest, Congrats on the apartment! I know having a place to live is a big worry off your chest. Can't wait to see what it looks like, once you're all moved in! :) Wow those pics of 1977 are something else, can't even imagine that! Good corned beef does sound wonderful :)
ReplyDeleteAnother item checked off our to do list. Nothing fancy but comfortable . That storm was something else and corned beef excellent,
DeleteGlad to read the apartment is yours. Sounds like another busy day of moving forward. Really hope you do not see snow like that again. Take care.
ReplyDeleteThanks guys looking forward to settling in there and and moving forward. Don't want see another winter like that one for sure. We are taking it one day at a time.
DeleteI've only heard and seen pictures of snow like this. We get snow and sometimes quite a lot - usually the worse is 12" or just a little more....and we think we have it bad! HA! That is serious snow in your picture. Please never send it too far south. LOL!
ReplyDeleteI'm happy to hear you have the apartment and you will be moving in soon. It will help to have that off your mind.
I should have said the 12" is rare...it really is a worse case for us.
DeleteThat year was about 4 feet we rarely get more than 2 feet at once.
DeleteGetting the apartment is really good thing we can move forward even further , one day at a time.
And here I thought I'd never have to see another snow shovel in my life and you went ahead and gave me those pictures. :cO
ReplyDeleteFortunately here in SC, snow (and shovels) are almost non existent. ;c)
I should not have to use a snow shovel being in the apartment, We will see some though.
DeleteYea. You got the apartment. A snug winter cocoon I hope. Very good news.
ReplyDeleteThanks it sure will be nice and cozy.
