Our Location today is Tecumseh, Ontario, Canada.
Due to our staying up late last night it was a fair trade off
that we would naturally sleep until 8:00 this morning. However when we opened the
curtains it was hard to tell what time of day it actually was. The sky was
grey, the ground was white and we couldn’t see the homes behind the parking
lot. This would be the same type of weather we would face throughout the day as
the temperature would hover close to the freezing mark. Since we had made
certain to complete all the up-to-date hauling to our storage unit as well as
our donations we were in no real hurry to go anywhere.
After having a light breakfast we settled in on the computers
getting caught up on our morning reading. At this point Kathy handed me another
list of companies that had to be notified of our subsequent change of address to
take place immediately. Surprisingly it seemed that all the numbers on this
morning’s list I was immediately able to connect within the first few rings to
actual human beings that were more than happy to help me out.
With the phone calls completed and this being Fat Tuesday we decided to walk over to
the nearby Tim Horton’s coffee shop. We each had a coffee and a
Paczki with Strawberry filling.
There was enough sugar in the filling alone that this treat doubled as our
lunch. It felt nice just getting out of the apartment and the weather was still
comfortable for that short of a walk. However before we could leave two of my former
coworkers that I had worked with for quite a number of years stopped by our
table. When they asked what we were up to and we told them they were in awe and
wondering why they hadn’t done something like that.
The new building owners Skyline Living have been doing a lot of upgrades to
our building since October and one that just started last week was a remodeling
of the front lobby. There were notices posted at all entrances yesterday that
the front lobby would be closed and off limits today. On our return walk we
stopped by the outside of the front door just so we could see the progress that
was being made. The entire lobby has been repainted, the security cameras have
all been upgraded and all the old ceramic tiling was removed and being
replaced. Even though we’ll be leaving soon it will look amazing.
Kathy found another list of calls for me to make this
afternoon. (She broke it up so I wouldn’t get sick of doing them all at once.)
While I was on the phone Kathy busied herself cooking and baking in the kitchen
which made it difficult for me to concentrate on what I was doing as the aromas
of the food failed to stay in the kitchen. As soon as I’d finished this second
list of the day I volunteered to help chopping the vegetables she needed for
her Homemade Chili that she was making. Unfortunately we’ll have to wait until
tomorrow to actually taste it because it’s sitting in the fridge where all the
flavors are melding together.
For supper we enjoyed a Peppered Ham on Egg Noodle that had
me telling Kathy not to loose that recipe. The fresh baked apple pie also
helped to top off the meal. Thanks for following along and feel free
to leave a comment. Be Safe and Enjoy!
It’s about time.
