Happy New Year, Slipping Outside and East Side Mario’s.


Our Location today is at Windsor, Ontario.

Now that 2019 is a thing of the past we both would like to once again wish everyone a Safe, Happy and Health New Year.
We actually managed to actually stay awake watching a Hallmark Christmas Movie that actually ended with the couple kissing at the stroke of Midnight. Then we had the chance to talk while we cuddled before actually going to sleep by 1:00 this morning.
Surprisingly we were having breakfast by 9:00 before taking our Coffee/Tea over to the Computers. Kathy got/sent Happy New Year Wishes to/from Family and Friends while I got/sent Wishes to/from our Friends that follow our Blog. The Wind was still blowing but not nearly as hard as the last few days and since the temperature was supposed to get above the Freezing Mark we thought about going out.
Since we weren’t sure what we’d be doing later we had Perogies for lunch with Yogurt and Cookies for dessert. Kathy was sad to report that she had used the last of the Berry/Berry Tea that we got from Annabelle’s in Kingsville. There were a few more Blogs published after lunch that I needed to read before heading outside.

Even though the temperature had finally gotten above the Freezing Mark there was still plenty of SXXW to clean off the Car and Truck. Even though there was a lot of water on the pavement I suddenly found myself flaying my arms to regain my balance after my feet decided not to stay under me. I was lucky and landed standing back in a water puddle instead of that slippery spot that I’d just left.

It only took a few minutes to clean the Car but when it came to cleaning the Tonneau Cover on the Truck it was a little harder. As the Sun had been melting the SXXW it refroze to form a Half Inch Thick Slab of Ice. It took nearly Fifteen Minutes to get that safely removed. Most would ask why bother cleaning the Cover in the first place. The reason is because I needed to roll up the Tonneau Cover so I could access my Parts Organizers. Having Seven of those Organizers stacked in one of the Cabinets in the Truck-Bed it was only understandable that the parts I needed were located in the bottom Organizer.

When I got back upstairs it was Kathy who said she saw me taking an unexpected slide in the parking lot. The reason she mentioned it was because we planned on going out and this meant she wasn’t going out to the parking lot. Instead we rode the elevator down together but she waited for me to bring the Car to the Rear Entrance before coming out.
When we arrived.
Since we’ve been inside the Apartment for the last couple of days we decided to go out for supper. With Gift Cards we received in hand the place we chose was East Side Mario’s but were we in for a surprise. It seemed we weren’t the only ones thinking like that. We waited nearly Fifteen Minutes before getting a table. Since they have redone their Menus it was another Ten Minutes before we ordered. Within minutes we had our Beverages and Soup but we would wait nearly a Half Hour before getting our meals.
When we left.
We were entertained watching families with very young children coming in to dine. Some of the children were well behaved while others not so like the couple who walked in with their Four Year Old Triplets that all wanted mom and dad to let them do what they wanted. After a single attitude adjustment all was good.

Back home we watched more Hallmark Christmas Movies. Thank you for following along and feel free to leave a comment.
Be Safe and Enjoy!

It’s about time.

You Might Be a Redneck If

Your family discusses the smell in the fridge at least once a week.

  1. Glad you did not fall. It was a good idea to pick up Kathy at the rear entrance rather than making her walk out.

    I know you are Canadian but I have no idea how you can put up with such cold weather and all that snow!

    Is East Side Mario's an Italian establishment?

  4. Black ice is one of the horrors of Canadian winters that I sure don't miss. Be careful!
    Happy New Year!

  5. Glad you were able to regain your balance and not end up on the ground. Do not miss walking on that ice at all.
    Happy New Year!

  6. Took our grandson out to lunch in our little town yesterday. WE like to go at 1 so it's not so busy..not the case on New Years Day! That sounded really slippery, glad you didn't fall!

  7. Glad you didn't hurt your back. It has taken a month for me to get rid of low back pain just from doing to much raking and leave lifting in one day before I left home. I've found everything is crowded around the holidays. We just have to learn patience.
