After our good travel day yesterday and settled in at Suzie's brother's place by the shed for a while and a great dinner with her Dad , 2 siblings and their spouse last night, We settled in a for a good nights sleep. Comfy and cozy on a cold night back in Ontario. And SO quiet here. we had a real good sleep and back up again at my regular time 4:30 this morning. Its cold out there 35f (1.6C) but feels much colder with the wind. We are toasty warm though inside. Got the usual coffee, computing and oatmeal taken care of and enjoy part of the nice sunrise through the trees here. And because of this cold weather a good one to make a pot of homemade chicken noodle soup, from chicken we cooked last week, I had the bones on the freezer. I boiled the bones for a tasty broth added the veggies and spices and let it all simmer for a couple of hours.
Then about 8:30 I took a nice country drive along some backroads into Plattsville. Stopped at Pettigrew's garage chatted with a few guys there for a while catching up and picked up a couple of packages that we had shipped there. While I was there we had a bit of SNOW ! Thanks Dean for holding these packages for us. And Also thank you Dean for the cool Santa tie that I just love. I had ordered a couple of new light fixtures for our Bedroom, to replace the broken ones with the sconces that are beyond repair, Similar ones were about 80 bucks each but I found these 2 for 35 dollars CND, they should do the trick.
Then from there into New Hamburg to pick up our prescriptions we had ordered and a few groceries, plus our non alcoholic beer that we enjoy for a good price as well. Back home by 10 am Suzie was chatting with SIL Sandy in our house I finished the soup and we enjoyed a tasty lunch. At 1 pm still very cold, no sunshine and has warmed up to 37F (2.7C). Hmm not an outside day for us at all.
