Tuesday, April 11th - warmer weather expecetd - bring it on!

After seeing nice warm temperatures in other areas, we're finally starting to warm up a bit ourselves. Of course with the good, comes the bad - the messy yard and all the clean up that we all have ahead of us - but as long as the sun is shining we really don't mind.

It was a fairly busy few days this week.  We're working on removing the paint from the mixer we purchased. We know it's old but weren't sure just how old. So I did some research and found an instruction manual and parts list on line. I contacted Hobart and they advise it was manufactured sometime between 1940 and 1950. We don't have a serial number as someone along the way has removed the plate with that information. But no worries, we have the info we need. It's a pretty sorry looking sight right now but just wait till we're done with it!   Stay tuned for updates later.










Meanwhile Lloyd was able to successfully measure and cut out a rather large hole in the wall for the venting system for the convection ovens. Still some work to do but the main part is done. I know he was pretty stressed about cutting through the wall in case he measured incorrectly-but he did well and it all worked out just fine 😀...Wee Bee Catering is another step closer to reality.

Getting ready to go on stage

Meghan had a very busy weekend attending the final dance competition for the year. They did extremely well and I know she was very pleased with their results. Rumour has it that a video was made and will be purchased so I'll be able to watch it at a later date. Apparently she and her friend Jill's duet won second place over all duets and trios in the entire competition. Well done, girls!

Just one of the duets

James, in the meantime, was busy participating in Vimy Ridge Anniversary Celebrations in Kitchener.
From the looks of the photos the weather was more than cooperative.  The Cadet web site has some great photos and a video of them being piped along the route

Here at home, Brenda, Meg, Maureen and I had the pleasure of attending a Rose Cousins concert at the Confed Centre on Saturday evening. Since we were going to be in town anyway, it only made sense for us to have something to eat first. We enjoyed the Burger love creation at Mavors before the show. Another tasty treat!

While we were in town the boys all went out and had a burger followed by some wings. They ended their evening in Bernie's shop - a great night for everyone!

Now that the weather if finally improving, the sea of mud in our back yard has dried up a little bit and after some outside cleaning  up  we'll be ready to have the water brought out to the garage. That involves some excavation and plumbing but the required resources have been lined up.

It will also be soon time for my little car to come out of the garage (although we do need to move some very heavy equipment out of the way before that can happen). Yesterday I was coming home from town and there was a convertible in front of me  at the stop light. Then I looked to my right and there was a red Miata at the other corner - yes, it's time!
