Happy Homemaker 2025-09-29

 Good morning

Thursday got the asphalt entryway treated and blackened (but they came back this moring for touchups).

Friday Anne-E was feeling puny so she spent the afternoon here (instead of daycare) and dh also picked up Xavier after school.  They both stayed the night as parents had an outing.

Saturday was housechores.  In the evening, DH went with SIL to a corn on the cob / hot-dog party for the local snowmobile club - I stayed home and relaxed did not feel like going.  It was sil's bday so dh accompanied her as she wanted to go but not alone.

Sunday we went to Xavier's hockey practice.  Grocery store errands, followed by ragoût de boulettes (froze most of it), and a few more housechores.  DH finished cutting plants outside.  Now only the Autumn ones are still there.  Slowly getting ready for winter.

This morning is a very slow morning.  Took my walk at 6:15, 10 C (with real feel of 6C), but forecast of 21C).  Have my 1st Tai-chi class at 10:30.... hmpf was 10:00, luckily I'm always early so got there at 10:15, it's ok as we are revising what we did last session.

Grandkid funnies:

Anne-E:  Her 1st joke... Pete & repeat are in a boat... and she laughs and laughs... she forgot the rest of the joke "Pete falls off, who is left? repeat.".. and you start the joke over and over.  so funny listening to her tell here 1phrase joke.

Alysanne:  At the fair last year the grandkids did haunted house but all were scared so none wanted to go this year... and there was none this year... when she saw this Alysanne said ' I wanted to go to haunted house finally' hahaha, sure
