A successful new recipe is good win, L.Ann
Germane and I have brought the laundry back. I'm not sure why she is enthusiastic about laundry, but I welcome the company.

Doggedly, you sent me to Google earth to inspect our continent. I hadn't noticed that the continent grows wider the farther north one goes! AI says that Canada is 4700 miles east to west (exactly where?) and the USA is 2800 miles east to west. And you have the Hudson Bay, which is massive!! Do Canadians vacation there? WTG going through the purse!
Hi Peaches!
Kitty, I hope you can easily find a lunch box that dh will like.
L Ann, we love our turmeric chicken recipe! The turmeric stains so I'm careful when I cook and eat it.
Well, I was so tired and feeling slightly ill during the tour so I didn't do anything when I got home, kinda dozed off -- but not super long or deep. I closed the windows and turned on the a/c before I went.
Now I need to get dinner.

Hudson's Bay is pretty cold, helia, and travel up north is expensive, but there is one popular vacation spot on Hudson's Bay. It's Churchill, Manitoba. I don't know what the original purpose of the town was, but they accidentally built it on a polar bear migration route. So, every year polar bears would show up in town looking for someone to eat. So they got creative. Nobody locks their car doors in case a bear makes it into town and they have to jump in for safety. They set up huge traps for the bears (think live trap for cats, but really big) and the famous polar bear jail. If a bear tries to come into town, they shoot it with tranquilers and move it to bear jail. If the bear comes around the edges of town, it will find the bear traps baited with meat. The traps can be picked up by truck and driven to the bear jail. Once it's late enough in the season that the bears would normally be on their way, they take the bears out and release them. I think that bear tourism is now Churchill's biggest industry. People come from all over the world to see them.
Should I admit that I have not hung my laundry yet, L.Ann? The past few days my back has hurt after carrying Germane, so when I got back I sat down and started decluttering a To Go Through box. I got almost to the end when I ran out of energy, so I went and lay down. Now I'm going to walk Germane, and I do plan to hang the laundry after.

mom's appointment went well. (If only I had the license and the permission, I could save all these visits. The NP (nurse practitioner) listened to me tell mom's story, listened to what I wondered about - would it make a difference? - and agreed with what I proposed. She also had 2 other suggestions to consider if we run into problems in the future, but we agreed that those don't need to be acted on right now. I got some good information and will continue to monitor mother's health.
Before we left the building, one of the residents wanted to know if she could watch me help mother into the car with the equipment I use. Of course. She needs something like that too, and wondered how it worked. I was happy to show her, and happy that mother accomplished the transfer with little difficulty.
Dsis3 snet a large packet to mother, with 4 page, large print type written letter and MANY pictures to illustrate what she wrote about. That was a 2+ hour activity, reading, looking at pictures, and choosing which ones to put on the bulletin board.
I left to come home, stopped at grocery store (senior discount day) and now have finished the power washing I started earlier today.
I think I have enough energy to load the dw and maybe find the K counters!
Supper will be another BLT, as I have a great tomato brought to me by my college roomie who was here for Saturday funeral.
I have at least 1, manybe 2 lol to do for mother - I'll throw a few thigns in of mine too.

You can't beat those local summer tomatoes, Gma. A tomato sandwich is one of summer's great pleasures.
I'm glad that your mother's appointment went well. How nice that you were able to show another caregiver your system for transferring your mother.
I have walked Germane, and am giving my back another rest.
Tuesday
Spiffed self
CUOP
Washed a basinful of dishes
Sorted dirty laundry
Put away the rest of the shopping
Set up container of rasins
Moved boxes in progress to handcart
Cleaned up after dog
Gave Germane her Benedryl
Brought Germane to laundry room and set up the washers
Realized that I had not transferred $ onto the laundry card, only into its account
Brought Germane to basement to load the laundry card
Started two loads of laundry
Brought Germane back to laundry room to flip laundry. I was surprised that she wanted to go back. Usually after the first trip to the laundry room, she just ignores me and sleeps in the bathroom.
Worked on To Go Through box
Brought Germane to get the laundry.
Hung the tshirts
Brought laundry back
Worked on To Go Through box
Brought garbage down
Walked Germane

Doggedly, you are making such good use of your "retirement" that you might just decide to make it permanent - if the economics works for you.
I've been to my son's, inspected the framework for the shed he is building. He is doing a fantastic job - it's so sturdy and straight! Not that my inspection counts for anything!
My dw is just about loaded, my bacon is fried, and I'm ready to make my sandwich, as soon as I get the bread into the toaster.
Then I can go for my 10 minute walk after I eat, and come back to read more in my book.

Thank you so much, Gma. All I see is what is left to do, so it's reassuring that you can see progress, or at least effort, LOL.
Enjoy your sandwich!

Okey, I have all of the laundry hung. Anything else I do tonight will not involve my back. The back says so.
