Side Garden/ Old Style

Hi!

How's your day?  The week has just flown by!

A couple weekends ago, I decided to use up some paint and get the plywood painted behind the front side garden.

I felt this needed to be done asap, since it's harder to paint when the plants get bigger!

It just looks normal now, but here it is before! 

When I was working in Kensington Library, I picked up some old magazines.  This one is from June, 1993- a couple years before we started building our "cottage".

Notice the green paint?

Well, in the back breezeway, we have one window that never got re-painted white, like the rest.  It is very similar to the picture!

(We also had blue trim at one point, not sure if it was before the green or after...)

 K was working in the van and Lilly found a nice spot in the front window.

I think she looks sad because C had gone to a slumber party!

Have a great day! :-)

Foody Friday

Hi!

What a funny week!  The kids were off school thru Wednesday, but then the roads still weren't cleared enough so we had to drive the kids to and from school on Thurs. and today (Fri).  

N's Science Fair was this week.  He did a project on Electromagnets.

At work, I copied a sign that was re-tweeted from @EPLdotCA (Edmonton Public Library) by @PEILibrary. 

When I was home for lunch yesterday, Paris came peeking in the kitchen window.  The snow has shrunk and the cats don't fall thru it as much, so they're getting out a bit more. 

Here's what we've eaten this week.

• Fri- Frozen Pizza
• Sat- Leftovers
• Sun- Chili, CornBread. I used butter instead of shortening and I used my Paderno skillet because my cast iron one doesn't fit into the little toaster oven with its handle!
• Mon- Poached Fish with Veggies (frozen oriental veggies), Rice, Egg Rolls, Ultimate Chocolate Cake. I made 1/2 the cake recipe for just 1- 9" pan. C and I sprinkled powdered sugar on top.
• Tues- Perogies, Hamburger, Raw Carrots
• Wed- K picked up pizza in town when he took C to dance
• Thurs- Frozen Vegetable Lasagna

It's been 2 years since I started posting our menus!  Wow, that's a lot of (boring) meals!

Have a great weekend! :-)
