Niagara-on-the-Lake



 Daughter L and her husband were at beautiful Niagara-on-the-lake this past weekend to celebrate her recent April birthday.  The weather was absolutely perfect for being outside and walking around.  It is only a couple of hours' drive from Toronto.

Some free samples



 I got these free samples in the mail, some Goldfish Crispers (I found them too salty) and some instant coffee samples.

An amazing lady

 I had a haircut last week done by Rose.  She has been cutting my hair since October 2020 according to this post.  It is nice to be able to check back in my blog because the years go by and you lose track.  This time, I decided to ask her how old she is.  She told me to guess, and I got as far as '75'?  Okay, she is 80!  She stopped colouring her hair awhile back.  She drives some 20 minutes to work a few times a week, gardens, exercises at home for 45 minutes a day and eats healthy food.  Travelling does not appeal to her anymore, she has been to Hawaii 3 times, 'no need to go again'.  She is content living alone with her routines.  Yes, she is an amazing lady, a mother of 3 sons according to my post in 2020. 

I started booking my appointments online as this place offers that now.

 Welcome to Friday Art.  I did an elephant ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") for you today.

Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date - Crowns and Blueberry Bran Muffins


 Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date 'Crowns' theme!  This is a grey crowned crane, and ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2").  It is my take on 'Crowns' this week.

For the Dinner Date, I have some blueberry bran muffins to show you.  I made them with a bran muffin mix and just added 1 1/4 c of fresh blueberries to the mix.  It needed an extra 5 minutes of baking, so 400F for 25 minutes.
