After
having a couple nights of sound sleep we both tossed around a bit
last night which meant it was past 8:00 when we got up. Of course
forgetting to shut our Cell Phones last night off didn’t
help when some unknown caller decided it was important to call at
3:00 in the morning. I’ve already turned them off as I write his
Blog.
Gloomy looking morning. |
Looking
outside the Clouds still filled the sky but according to The
Weather Network we would be seeing the Sun later in
the day. We had the Balcony Door open by 9:30 with a
comfortable breeze blowing from the East.
Once
the inside chores were finished we wrote up a different type of
Shopping List this morning. One thing we learned while living
Fulltime in our Trailer is that space is very valuable
and the kitchen in our Apartment
has even less. When Kathy reorganized the Cupboards the last
couple of days she found a problem with some of our Storage
Containers for our Food Stocks. Some Containers
were Square while others Rectangular which worked
perfect in the Trailer but not here.
For
lunch we had Grilled Cheese Sandwiches garnished with Olives
and topped off with Grapes, Cookies and Yogurt Cups
for dessert.
It
was just past 1:00 when we headed out the door. When we got to the
parking lot most of the overnight lakes had dried up.
Our
first stop was the nearby Home
Hardware store.
Wearing our Masks
we practised Social
Distancing
while waiting Five
Minutes
before we could go inside. Again we had our own personal assistant
that asked what we were looking for and took us right to it. There
were only Two
Rubbermaid Stackable Storage
Containers
available in the size we needed so we took them both.
We
then headed to the east end
Canadian Tire store.
Again wearing our Masks
we stood about Twentieth
in
line to
get inside here. We arrived just on time because there was suddenly a
longer line behind us. Inside they did not have the Stackable
Containers
we were looking for but did have the kitchen sized Garbage
Bags
we needed. Surprisingly as we approached the checkouts there were
long shelves full of Hand
Sanitizer
in different
sizes but all priced much higher then we’ve ever seen them. We
got Two
Pocket Sized Bottles.
Still
in need of more Stackable
Containers
we drove to the Home
Hardware Building Center
in Tecumseh.
After putting our Masks
on again we had no issues just walking in this store. There were no
assistants to help you here and since
it has been recently expanded so it took about Five
Minutes to
locate the Rubbermaid
Stackable Storage Containers.
There were only Four
in the size we needed on
the shelf and
Kathy scooped them all up.
Back
at the Apartment
not knowing who had handled those Containers
we washed them out. Even though they were thoroughly dried they were
left to
sit
a bit longer before Kathy started filling them from the Square
Containers.
Now the Cupboards
are looking much more organized.
While
I cleaned and finely sliced a couple of Potatoes
Kathy was breading and cooking some Pacific
Salmon Fillets.
She also sauteed the Potato
Slices.
With Coleslaw
as a side and Fruitcake
for our dessert our supper was perfect.
The
weather guesser on the 6
o’clock Local News
was showing
warmer temperatures heading our
way within a week.
Thank
you for following along and feel free to leave a comment.
Be
Safe and Enjoy!
It’s
about time.

It just makes you feel better to be organized. I think I may need some of those plastic tubs.
ReplyDeleteI'm an organization nut - everything in its place... drives Brad crazy because everytime we 'move' I need new containers to fit the new space --- and we move A LOT... LOL
ReplyDeleteGrilled cheese sandwiches are alway a hit! Potatoes with dinner look yummy too..guess i am hungry!!
ReplyDeleteI was surprised how different the policies are from store to store here too. Home Hardware had long lines.
ReplyDeleteI love Home Hardware. They always seem to have unique items. Maybe a buck or so higher than other stores though.
ReplyDeleteI found hand sanitizer today too. $3.99 for a tiny bottle. Using booze would be cheaper, just barely.
