05-14-21 Mother’s Day surprise night
I forgot to post two of the fun things of last night, the first being the intense rain just before 6pm
And the second was the moment I noticed the sun had come out and was providing the perfect light for a photo shoot with my eldest. She is beautiful inside and out!
Today involved a good deal of supplying info to Canada Revenue Agency to prove amounts claimed on several returns. I started the day popping across the street to Jackson’s to ask when my AC unit would be hooked up. Bruce kindly booked me in for Tuesday acknowledging that mobile homes get hot. He also swung by to be sure where we would put it since the usual spot would block the exit of my 1946 Willys from it’s secure spot in my back yard. That is lovely small town service. It is still 23 degrees centigrade inside with the windows open and it is only the first really warm day of a stretch. A few of us ordered takeout from Hot Shots and I had a delicious teriyaki chicken bowl. After lunch I walked the block and a half to the repair man and picked up my lawnmower. Turns out it was choking as oil had been overfilled and likely tipped to wrong side. He replaced the air filter, charged the battery for the electric start and got it running smooth. I am grateful and know what tomorrow holds! I enjoyed the walk in the sun and Sean allowed me to put it in his truck to be dropped off later.
I got what I could done and headed home to be here for 5 as Ashlée said she had a Mother’s Day surprise for me. I made my second Hello fresh meal of spicy bbq salmon on a delicious salad. It was ready just in time for the Jim Cuddy livestream. We really enjoyed it.
Ashlée brought this crazy delicious dessert. She got it at Save-On and I am a big fan of the two I tried. And now I have a coconut shell dish.
After the concert and dinner we settled on the couch to finally watch Hamilton. It really is not my thing, but it is beautifully choreographed and I love several of the stars including Daveed Diggs, Okieriete Onaodowan and Christopher Jackson. There were some great moments and I suspect I may have liked it better if I had done my homework. It was nice to hang with Ash and I am grateful Sean and Diane dropped off my mower. All in all a lovely day.
There are many of our ABC crew that are unable to zoom tomorrow so it may be rescheduled. Nigel and Linda sent me the most touching video in messenger.
So sweet, made my day.
