Seedy *Saturday' tomorrow. Usually I'm all over the map and rattled to the hilt for these things, trying to be prepared in every possible way, but I actually feel great tonight. I'm not looking forward to when I have to pack the car tomorrow at 6 and its -28 C/-18F. I don't have much choice...

Well, another near fatality in my dog training orbit. So utterly shocking I still haven't full processed it. A lady who is a professional musher, has over 20 male huskies, 2 pointers with whom she does hunting and tracking work, and 2 Malinois that she competes with as well. If there was ever...

It's true, absence does make the heart grow fonder. Enjoying these flowers more today than when they were actually growing. 🥶

-40 both C & F when I got up this morning. Poor dog; I'm grateful at least I don't have to go potty out there.

@Blue-Jay did my parcel arrive today? Tracking says it should have arrived the 21st, but it's not showing that it arrived yet? ETA: OK, I see a delay flag on the package. The good news is that is says the item is still on the way, the bad news is this is kinda wierd.

Little happy story to share. The last 2 weeks have been kind a nuts for me, such a busy bean year so far. I've been feeling like a skier under an avalanche for at least 2 weeks. Elated, but scrambled. One of the requests that came in arrived in a jumble of others. Because all the financial...

I went to the post office today with a package of seeds to mail, a small bubble envelope with very light seeds mostly, and she told me $15. I didn't recognize her, and this is my tiny local place where I'm pals with the usual regular daytime lady with years of experience. That did not seem...

Something I forgot to mention to you as well @Blue-Jay about my shipment to you, which was a surprise. The Zonos App functions like an online customs agent, much like self checkout at the grocery store. So for the most part there are duties to be paid for anything that is shipped which isn't...

D all day long. :>

Yes, I feel too that the digital cameras took such good photos, whereas the phone and ipad cameras not as good. The lenses on them are so much smaller, so to get those nice bright shots that really show the colors you need really top notch lighting to make up for that small lens. The digital...

Some really, really great news @Blue-Jay. After 3 days of working through this Zonos App for shipping into the US - I finally have the QR code and the proper shipping label + a tracking number. We had to do it all ourselves at this end. I don't think Canada Post is even printing the shipping...

I will actually be part of the process too, and will provide all the instructions. He's basically there to navigate the App inputs and all the forms on the computer. And anything else that comes up. I will probably sit there and give him the info and he's going to plug everything in and then...

@Blue-Jay I've had some issues over the holidays trying to connect with my tech friend who is going to mail my parcel for me to you with Zonos, but it looks like this week he finally will have a spot open for me. So I'm hopeful I'll be able to send you a tracking number this upcoming week. 👍

42 million people in my country, not a single one of them offers Chriesistei, of any strain. Nor did I receive any strain in particular. Using my own language for something no Canadian will ever pronounce nor spell in its original language is entirely acceptable. I also will never use any...

One of DH's presents. 🖤 I listened to the audiobook years ago, and I remember loving it and wanting my own copy. Such a great Christmas! 🤗

I add 1 cup fresh whip cream to 2 packages of Philly, and 2 tbsp of sour cream. Then a little vanilla and 2 tbsp icing sugar. This seems to make a filling thick enough to be cut and hold its shape in nice squares. It also places the sweetness right where we like it since most of the toppings...

Wow, good to know! We have taken a bit of risk with them, opening the cage doors to handfeed them walnuts, so I know now to be seriously careful. Definitely don't want an injury like that on DD or myself. Sheesh. It seems like one bird is more cross than the other, the African Grey has been...

I don't think I've ever seen whole macadamia nuts sold in stores, and I've only occasionally seen pine nuts. The price on those is wildly high, and sold only by tiny handful too. That is one I haven't tried. Many moons ago Subway used to sell a white & dark chocolate chunk cookies with big...

Looks like it was somebody's birthday!

To my astonishment I am feeling on top of all the Christmas food preparations, it's wonderful. I am not normally feeling so calm and serene at this point, lol. It really helps that DD is always at my side assisting and even taking over certain recipes. I'm so prepared I even made a nice...
