Pictures - 47 - 53

Tuesday - February 16th - Picture 47 -I hadn't done wash in awhile, so had, well, not a lot, but more than I usually do in one day. I sometimes only do one load at a time. We don't go through a lot of laundry with just the two of us. But, it was what I spent my day doing, so here's the picture. Wednesday - February 17th - Picture 48 - I went to see my new doctor at the Broadway Medical Clinic. That killed the whole afternoon as I had to go for an x-ray as well.

Thursday - February 18th - Picture 49 - The final of the men's figure skating at the Olympics. The new scoring system lived up to its reputation and having a quadruple jump did not help the returning Russian win. A good strong program did it for Evan Lysacek of the US. I was so thrilled for him!

Friday - February 19th - Picture - 50 - Not my birthday, but my birthday celebration. We went to Nortown Bowl and had pizza and DQ cake. Then the kids bowled on their lane with the bumpers and the adults on the other lane. Steve won his game and Bethie won hers. It was so much fun.

Saturday - February 20th - Picture 51 - This is our regular routine for Sat. I couldn't get all the grocery bags into one picture, but these are a few. We don't eat as much now, either, with just the two of us, but it fills up our cupboard space when we bring it home.

Sunday, February 21st - Picture 52 - It had been sort of warm and then got really cold again and the water dripped on the van. The first time I couldn't get the door open. It was pull, push, pull, push, then it finally opened. It is still there and too hard to chip away. Maybe if it warms up a bit this week it will melt! We are so tired of winter!

Monday - February 22nd - Picture 53 - Finally, my actual birthday. It was a quiet day. I got many well-wishes from friends on facebook and calls from family. Dale and I went out to the Keg for supper. The steak wasn't as good as we usually get - rather dry, in fact - but the grilled flatbread was delicious! We came homeand I had a piece of double caramel cheesecake from M&M meats. It is so yummy and I added the candle and said, "Happy Birthday to me!" (Dale doesn't sing). It was a good day - the Canadian ice dance team of Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir won gold and beat a crummy Russian team. I was so thrilled!!!
