That is great that your dad received his settlement. Pictures are great reminder for me that Spring is coming to Ontario soon. Experiencing some cold/bad weather for the next couple of days. I just got used to wearing my Spring attire last week & now back into the winter gear, ugh! I look at my beautiful solar hummingbirds (hanging in my room) & think soon you will be outside soaking up the sun! Thanks for sharing your day! Hugs! Brooke & Henri

Hi Chris and Holly. Super cold here today with snow falling all day and the high temperature only 19 degrees. Burrrrrrrr!! Will spring ever come. We ended up with about three Inches of snow. The wind was terrible with gusts up to 22 mph.

Like you and Holly I can't wait to get outside and start working in the yard again. I want to be able to spend time in the picnic grove on my swing and cook over the wood fire. It will be so much fun sharing with each other all our adventures.

It is so great that your Dad was able to get a Monthly check. I am sure it will help out a lot with finances. All the home improvements sound great. We are looking into a new floor for the living room. It really needs replaced.

I baked an apple tort today for dessert tonite. John was out of sweets so I had to make something. I had a small piece and have to admit it is delicious. It was a recipe my Mom used to make when I was growing up. I love the old recipes. They always bring back good memories when you make them.

Hope you and Holly have a good evening. Give Tiger a hug from me. Hugs. John and Debbie

Hi Chris, that’s really great news that your father finally received his settlement they should be OK from now on. It’s also good to hear that both your parents and your sister paid you back a lot of the money they owe you.
Love the pictures of your flowers all starting to bud and the hyacinth looks so pretty and I love the way they smell, they are one of my favs :-) I know you can’t wait to get out there and start your garden soon.
I hope you enjoy your Tuesday morning treats and the rest of the day as well.
Lots of hugs

I’m so glad your father got his compensation for that horrible experience:(.

It’s nice that your household is getting all cleaned up and your dad has some home improvements he wants to do.

I’m going to be hiring a carpenter to fix some things in the house that’s going up for sale. I like to do a lot myself but there are a few things I’m going to need help with.

I hope you have a wonderful day:). Love to everyone
