       After a cool drizzly day yesterday even colder this morning at 6 am (48F) and yes I had a wonderful sleep all night long right until 6 am. My muscle pain has completely gone and I feel brand new again, yahoo! But heck it is still mostly overcast this morning and only 50 F with a chilly breeze. Not feeling like  walkabout when this chilly, So just puttered around for a bit then a quick trip to Forest for a couple of things and check out the Turkey's they have there for our Canadian Thanks Giving next week, A decent price for Butterball turkeys about $21.00 for a 7 KG bird (15 lb). I will probably pick up on Monday that I will cook for my family dinner in Auroa for our Canadian Thanksgiving feast. On Oct 14th.  

interesting skies this morning driving back from Forest

         Now a light tasty lunch and just because I feel great again I headed to the fitness centre here and get some exercise, beat up my body just because I can and we are here, being careful not to overdo it again. Lighter weights a bit and after about an hour it felt real good, no more pain. Outside right now not very nice for playing  too much. Still overcast 51F and cool breeze, think we can putter around inside. 

love this fitness centre here

          I have a bunch of Birthday and Christmas cards to take care of for our Grands all 8 of them, a perfect afternoon for it. 8 Christmas cards and 4 birthday cards to be hand delivered next weekend when we all get together. This took the better part of an hour,  12 cards I'm all, then our friend Ron stopped in for a nice visit flapping our gums, inside not outside. Always fun to catch up with Ron when we can.

     Now to enjoy our page turners and a quiet inside Happy hour inside but then the  sun came out and so did we. Melinda and Tucker dropped on by to join us, she is not working this afternoon, what a nice treat, Gerry was picking up their granddaughter. 

always fun to chat with Melinda when she is not working here

           When Gerry got back they joined us. And of course the conversation just kept flowing,

he she is with Gerry 

Tucker getting a treat when Suzie says OK

she said Ok and he was right on it

we having fun in the warm  sunshine

     Then she wanted to go and Play, what more than climbing the tires is too much fun.

the big tires are fun

        And so are the swings wherever she wants to go that is where Grandpa takes her.

she loves to swing

            They headed home about 5 pm and time for us to whip up supper.

            For supper gonna grill a couple of chicken legs and thighs on our Weber Q I got on sale the other day to go with our usual salad.

not long to do these on the grill

this did the trick tonight just enough almost

        Was going to head outside after supper to finish this posting but at 52 F and no sunshine decided to stay inside until this was done.  The weather is what it is and we can deal with it whatever way we like. This works for us.

      Last night after posting our blog we enjoyed reading outside for about a 1/2 hour and as we were coming inside  Loree was walking by with Freddie and stopped to chat for a bit. 

Freddie sniffing the ground, Linda had been by earlier walking her 2 puppies
and of course he had to sniff around.

he is looking at something

      Then  as she was leaving managed to catch a bit of this colourful sunset over the valley right in front of us.

Love when we can catch these here

    Now that was our fun day getting a few things taken care of and enjoying every minute of  it. Where did the day go?
     Glad that you dropped by for a peek , My body is feeling brand new again and hope your's is as well.

My countdown when we head south October 17thCountdown

       Up as usual about 4:30 and got some computing done just waiting for the sunrise to get out and about. Well the sunrose to overcast skies.The weather gods are predicting rain for the next 3 days. I guess that's what we get for enjoying a wonderful sunny day yesterday, and enjoy it we did.

      No problem here, this is our house same as everyone else we have things that we can do on rainy days. After my first walkabout I started making a large pot of turkey noodle soup, Perfect weather for it and had the BBQ'd10 lb turkey we did yesterday so lets make good use of it. Boiled the bones for a couple hours to make a tasty broth, then added all the other stuff and spices so it would be ready for lunch. Sure smells good in our house this morning, nothing quite like homemade soup.

        We did putter around for  a while out side until the rain began, just mostly a slow drizzle all day long temps got to about 49f (9c). We cozy inside, Mr Heater takes the chill off when we need it.

just about ready

sure took the dampness off today

        After lunch walked down to the fitness centre for a nice workout. Love this for all the great machines they have. really been missing it since last fall. Good thing was I checked my weight again and still within a pound or so from last year. Clocked in at 148 lbs. and still feel wonderful. Guess the good life agrees with me.

all the machines you need right here

plus the free weights as well

       After this back home to read for a bit and decide what to do for supper. Still cool and rainy and we have lotsa leftover turkey. So I search for recipes to give me some ideas, came up with something we had the ingredients for and felt like having how about a Turkey Bolognese As usual I modify it drastically to suit our tastes, click HERE for the recipe or my recipe blog top right sidebar. 

        Pretty quick and easy, and another good easy meal for a rainy day, something we have not had for a long time either.

everything chopped and ready to go

lotsa veggies in it and was excellent,
will do it another time I am sure
mad a hot doge bun onto garlic bread
with cheese to add to the carbs.

      Supper done, dishes done, still raining, no problem again, get some more reading done, post this blog and maybe even turn the tv on for a bit.
       Hope you made it through the first of a few rainy days around here ok (at least there is no snow and not too cold) and have plans for the next few as well. I know we do. And I am sure we will have a few sunny warm days this summer at some point.
      Thanks for stopping by for a peak.

We head south Oct 18, 2017Countdown
