Easter is here , its really not as much fun anymore now that their isn't any little kids around!
Remember when we were young(" ya i know it's what our parents used to say to us" )We would wake up on easter morning and our bunnies, cute and in a box with bright iceing bow ties and orange carrots in hand , and tasted like cardboard! were alway hid away , I think mine was in the dryer every easter morning. Joanna, Sherry and Jacquie got other unique hiding places like the washer , linen closet under the bed ect. Does the easter bunny do that anymore?
In our house the traditon was a cute basket filled with eggs and choclate and when my kids were young they got big items such as bikes , roller blades , paint ball guns .
I think we got skipping ropes ,skip its , marbles chalk and more elastics to play yogi .
The boys would try and flick us with the elastic bands at school, i still hate elastic bands to this day!

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!
Well its freezing here again,
Went skating in cobourg at the harbour for valentines day but it was really too cold for me!
Then we went to the Boathouse restaurant for dinner . Seafood .It was good!
It seems to be a very popular night to go out, all the restaurants were booked up!
I thought we were in a recesssion?
Melissa and Sean are going to Ottawa tomorrow for a nice romantic night at the cheatue laiuria hotel and skating on the canal

So i get a day off , Yeah!

another snowy day in b town
Hope everyone is enjoying the weather!
It has been snowing here non stop for days!
I woke up to sun this morning and hoped for a nice sunny day but it started snowing around noon and has not stopped , i think we have around 3 more inches , I know everyone, but jacquie still measures in inches!! ha ha.I think i will need to shovel again.
The dog absolutely hates the deep snow, i found her urinating on the deck, just so she wouldn't have to prop her butt in the snow, i guess i can't blame her .
She is very deaf and sometimes walks around looking like she doesn't know what is going on but most times she is standing in front of the cupboard looking up at the door in hopes of a biscuit, or looking at the fridge door in case a carrot might want to jump out at her !
funny dog.
till we meet again

Home from Cuba
Well we have returned from the great warmth of Cuba and now into the minus 18 degree snow country ! What is wrong with us anyway! Its torture here!
Our 3 star resort ended up being not bad at all , of course if i had paid a thousand for a week i may not be as happy as i am but it only cost total of 550. each for the week!I can't even go to toronto for the weekend and eat out and stay in a hotel for that!
The food was great, lots to choose from. Your really have to like Rum and beer in order to drink your 500. dollars worth though. We managed to pay off a guy to make us some mohito's on day as everyone claims they don't have mint, and we got a couple of pina colada's but they really weren't that good, I stuck to Rum punch , a little sweet but not too bad!
The rooms were very old but the mattress was new and the shower was good, always hot water.The staff was continually cleaning.
We met lots of people that had been there for the 24th time! I think we were the Newbies!
Mostly retired but a few younger people from Quebec, The plane arrives from Quebec on saturday and from ontario on thursday!
Its amazing how they live , we are very lucky to not live in a communist country , i am not sure i could be as happy as them if i lived in that situation.
Any way it was a great trip and very relaxing , i would recommend it to anyone that isn't fussy about the oldness of the resort, and the limited amount to do.
There is no shopping at all! The good thing about that is you don't spend any money.
For 100 canadian i got in return 74 CUC
Spent it all in tips and the beach trip which cost 24 cuc.
Beautiful beach , nice warm temp around 28 to 30c
Sucks to go back to work on monday, but then again i am going to Florida March the 5 th for a week so i need to save again!!!

NEW YEARS DAY
Well Happy NewYear to everybody!
I spent the New Year at the Casino with Aunt Ida,Carilyn and Sue , Laughing and and rubbing the machines with great gussto , hoping for the big new years win.
Aunt Ida had us laughing so much, she had strange men asking her to push the button for them for some reason! We came out losers but had fun anyway and spent the midnight hour in the car on the way home.
It's very cold here and i have been for a walk and froze my butt off.
6 more sleeps and i am off to Cuba, Hopefully to drink and lay in the sand!
