I can't hardly believe that it is already past the middle of the month of November. Where has the time gone??? I suppose the following long account will tell where it went.
Let me back up. Since Shawn's bday, we had our workers come to stay, a baby shower for Slade and Janie's baby, Sarah's birthday - two celebrations. One at Japanese Village with the girlies and then on her actual bday with supper here with Dennis and Bernice and Graham and Joey.
That brings us to November (for all who care you can keep reading). We fell back one hour (of which I ALWAYS seem to forget) so my folks have gotten a rather late phone call and I have texted my girly friends in SK when they were probably in bed.
That brings us to last week and weekend. We made a trip out to Vancouver. Shawn had a HVAC trade show he wanted to attend to meet someone regarding equipment. We spent the night with Melva and I spent the next day with her. We then toodled over (with a repaired tire) to Ken's for Thursday night and had a lovely pizza supper with some relatives of Shawn's (cousins) as well as Hayden and Glenna and family.
We left in decent time on Friday to go to the States to visit Shawn's brother Greg and Paula and family. We were met with a 90 minute wait (good thing Hanna was napping). We proceeded to have a lovely time with the family and Sunday after lunch we headed out on the Highway. We drove as far as Spokane on Sunday night and hotelled it there. We proceeded to drive the rest of the way on Monday. My hubby is a trooper for doing all that driving.
So that brings us to this past week. On Tuesday I was met with unpacking, laundry, tidying house and making at least 10 dozen cookies for a bake exchange I agreed to do for this past Friday. Braden came over and organized his things for special meetings because the next day, I drove him up to Edmonton to spend some time with the family up there. But back to the bake exchange....I tried several new recipes and the one that was the hit according to my hubby will be featured in the photos.
I started with:
Cherry Chocolate shortbread cookies
Orange Creamsicle cookies
lemon lime refrigerator cookies
double chocolate mint cookies
egg nog fudge
What do you think was the winner???
Thursday was driving back from Edmonton, an attempt at a massage to relieve my aching back muscles which didn't end up happening fully because Ms. Hanna decided to cry the entire time so I had to cut it short. Then to chiro to provide some extra relief and home to unpack again and to more laundry.
Friday morning was our amazing bake exchange and was I ever thankful I participated. I came home with some exciting goodies. All to be put in the freezer and brought out at a later date.
We fully intended to got to Jan Howden's funeral on Saturday morning (which meant another trip up to Edmonton) but Hanna came down with a runny nose on Thursday night and I didn't feel we can handle it. Which brings us to Sunday....Hanna had a terrible meeting. Upon taking her out and feeling in her mouth, I discover 2 more teeth have broken through. I just wanted to cuddle her pain away.
So after all the blabbing, you are now up-to-date. Photos to come...
