Hi HonI never get any Metro spend offers even though I have started shopping there periodically. Oh well the only thing I really buy from there is the in store baked sandwich bread.
Awwww such a good memory Hon.I think I've finally gone thru all the pictures for my dad's funeral. Such a hard task to watch him age before my eyes but a nice way to start saying goodbye
Found this gem of him with the duck!

LOL....after painting the oldest DD's condo (every square inch) in August I swore I was never going to paint again. I was in so much pain....which my mom reminded me of this morning. Half of my house needs a fresh coat of paint and I have a fantastic painter but I've got nothing but time right now. Sooooo....I'm working on it and have set a limit of 2ish hours a day. I easily spent an hour this morning just taping down drop cloths and moving everything. I'm a very good painter which means super picky about the details and not so much as a drop of paint shall meet the floor. My problem is that the arthritic joints don't enjoy going up and down the ladder anymore. Every time I get myself into some project the knees regret my decision. When DD moved out I had to paint her old room....every part of it was painted very dark purple even the ceiling (I've hated that room for the last 20 years). I spent 3 weeks working at it a few hours at a time and I got through it with no problems....well other than the problem that is took 2 coats of primer and 3 coats of paint. I'm sure it's all in my head but I swear I can still see purple. Youngest DD has moved into that room and she paid for the paint which was the Sherwin. It was nice to work with but we will have to see how it wears over time. Her friend said their only competitor is Benjamin Moore...which I love but will not pay the price.
Yup I have signed up but all I get are a few Air Miles bonus deals. My sister gets lots of bonuses at Metro.Hi Hon

Funny thing is she signed up for bonus deals with Independent Store (Loblaws grocery store at our cottage) and she gets a couple of free items as one of her offers every week and I get none. I feel like Charlie Brown and his all I got was a rock.
So sorry for your lose. That's a really cute pic. You look just like your Dad.....every time you look in the mirror smile and think of him.I think I've finally gone thru all the pictures for my dad's funeral. Such a hard task to watch him age before my eyes but a nice way to start saying goodbye

I had to head out early this morning to clean off the car and shovel enough to move the car over the pile of snow that the plow had created when they did a pass thru the lot at 3 am (townhouse complex). Came back in, washed my hair, changed my clothes, packed a lunch, took my pills and headed back out to the car so I could head up the highway to meet my family at the funeral parlour. Crap! Stupid plow had come back and created another deeper pile behind my tiny car and that made me sweaty and 10 minutes late
my dad died early yesterday morning and while it truly was a blessing I really wish my family had communicated more with us. Please everyone, talk to your families, keep each other in the loop, don't assume that someone else had texted or called! We had no idea that he tested positive for COVID-19 over 2 weeks ago, that they'd already given the funeral director a heads-up before Christmas that he was failing quickly. Perhaps my kids might have liked to say goodbye to their Papa ☹ and maybe, just maybe I might have wanted to support my mom!
no shopping happening for me this week, don't care how many miles I might get or what's on sale! I grabbed a carton on milk at Rexall when I was picking up some scripts and that was hard enough

My favourite time of year to visit Disney was back in the 1980's in the month of February.
So
What was your best / favourite time of the year to go to Disney / Universal?

Those winter months can be really nice but can also be cold. I really like March, October and November. I've had perfect weather in March but also had freezing cold weather. LOL....we went from 28 all day to afternoon high of 11-12 all in one week. Funny how we Canadians acclimate very quickly.....the morning we stepped out of our room to a temp of 4 we thought we were going to die. The late fall months have more stable temps. Even in December you can be wearing shorts and t-shirts. I have friends that like to go the week before American Thanksgiving....they say the weather is great and it's on the quiet side.O/T Off Topic

We went the week after the American Thanksgiving. That was the best trip we have ever had there. We had +25 temps. low crowds everywhere. Universal was walk on for the days we were there. I know that time of year can be iffy for temperatures...but honestly, it was the best experience we have ever had./T Off Topic
Well sort of (I will be using Airmiles to pay for this trip).

This sentence sums it up perfectly. Your mind understands it, but your heart doesn't want it to happen. Hoping that the waves of grief get easier to cross and that the memories you have of them will help you ride those waves of grief.My kids understood they were loosing their GMom but nobody, including I, knew how to say bye.
