So, my bad luck comes in three's... first the propane, then the basement flood. Now, shingles were blown off of our roof. We had a really bad wind storm a couple weeks ago. Power outages everywhere, including work, including a gas leak at our office too which resulted in me evacuating the building because the smell was so strong. I noticed a few other homes in our area had shingles missing too. 


So, the bad news is because we claimed the flood, we really can't claim the roof too. I suspect it's going to cost us $1,000 to fix. I'm going to look into it after I'm back from Paris. Right now we have plastic of some sort covering the bare area. The guys who did our basement did that quick fix. 


As for the basement, still no carpet so that is in limbo. Honestly, I haven't even been around to care but I will have to get on it when I'm back! The house seems like it's falling apart!!!

Here's one of the last meals that I've cooked since April. Pork chops, mashed potatoes and homemade apple chunks. Sadly, I've been so busy I really haven't been cooking. Not a good way to lead up to Mother's Day. I don't expect much from my son this year. As I really have not been around :(

French toast to continue my french food theme! Haha, the pan is coming in very handy. 

Making crêpes in prep for my trip to Paree!!! I will definitely have to have a french crêpe while I'm there. Notice I am using the kitchen aid pan that you bought me. Love those frying pans thank you!! They make beautiful crêpes!!!

Mumsie!! I miss you. Where did the time go? I have some serious catching up to do!!! Not sure if I talked to you about the horse clinic. The guy was a real horse whisperer. Gorde Searle from Alberta. It was a rainy day but a lot of people showed up. I learned a lot from him. But, wasn't too inspired to get back on a horse. I ended up cancelling my lessons since. Yup. I haven't ridden in about a month which is the longest I have gone without riding. Sad, I know. But, I did it because it was relaxing and enjoying for me. With my new coach and the loss of Beau, I lost all of that. I know it will come back but I'm just taking a break from it for now.

The lake is officially open!! All the ice has melted. It's gorgeous out there. It looks inviting but the water would still be c-c-c-cold. I saw a loon on the water on the weekend. I tried to take a pic but it was too far away to capture on my iPhone. 


It was a good day today. Got a lot done but starting to feel semi-sick. Very tired and achy and sniffly. The last couple of night I've woken up at 1:30 am for a few hours. Not sure why... maybe it's the rum cake. We'll see if I get a better sleep tonight.


Went to the bank and the Euro is at 1.45 % so it will cost me $145 for every hundred I purchase. Is that a good rate??? Let me know before I buy. Maybe I will buy a bit every week? I don't know.


Liam and I have a dentist appointment tomorrow. I have one cavity and Liam has two. He sees the oral surgeon next week for a consultation. And, Jim has exams! Fun, fun, fun.


Hope you had a good day! xox
