Hi everyone! I am just going to catch up with the threads now but I just wanted to say hi and that we are back....Ellis I am so glad your dad is doing so well - and that everyone seems to have got through the blackout OK. We are in southern Ontario (now you know!) and so had it too...the day before we left for vacation, so I forgot to pack more than 2 prs of shorts for eldest DD but she was fine, and the girls tried to sleep in the basement but got scared and stayed in theit hot little beds upstairs. I ended up in the basement which was nice and cool.
Vacation week was nice - I sat around the cabin and on the beach a LOT, lots of sitting and a few pieces of pizza and let's ADMIT IT, some french fries, and wham! I am up to 146.5, 3 1/2 lbs in a week! Only it is about TOM so I am hoping a few ounces is that, but am not kidding myself. Back to the minestrone and the salads etc.
Butter tarts...at university they served them a LOT and I didn't really like them. But DH and I used to go to this doughnut shop (pre Tim Horton's days, mid 1980s!) and have dutchies and crullers and they were lovely - all that fried dough and sugar, washed down with gallons of coffee, which even at night did not keep me awake! Ah, those were the days!
Now I am going to read up on the past week for you all...
