spreading the rest of your life over seven days!
- So You Think You Can Daaven My weekend started early on Thursday attending a play produced by my friend, Ellen. She is a great role model for retired life - taking on new experiences and new challenges like producing a play.
- Hockey - The hockey gods certainly were not smiling my way this weekend. Ollie Maata is staying with Pittsburgh Pittsburgh Penguins. The Knights lost on Friday which usually doesn't bother me but they did not play well which is unusual. I didn't send my Friday night post game Knight tweet as I couldn't think of anything good to say. Another loss on Sunday. And, after three consecutive weeks of being in a leading position in my hockey pool I sank to mid pack.
- Captain Phillips - Great movie. The last scene is movie storytelling at it's best. Brilliant performance by Tom Hanks.
- Sunday Morning Walk - Instead of our usual hike around Westminster Ponds we decided to walk Beau around Springbank Park this week. Such a beautiful park. Lots of activity. Beau likes the wildness of the Ponds better - not a fan of being on a leash on his Sunday morning walks.
5. Sunday Breakfast - Sunday was a day of change! Our normal post walk - Sunday
breakfast diner has been declining in quality so we tried a new spot this week -
Edgar and Joe's. It is an initiative of our local Goodwill giving employment opportunities
to those needing experience. What a great idea. The food was delicious - a sunny
and bright seating area. I think we have found our new Sunday breakfast spot!
6. Cookies, Cookies... I spent the summer baking pies and trying to improve my pastry
skills so this weekend's cookie baking was a welcome change.........
I am intrigued by the "Compost Cookies" from Momofuko. This New York bakery
recently opened a store in Toronto. The compost cookies have a variety of ingredients
including potato chips, pretzels, coffee, chipits. The name is unappetizing - I think
"Kitchen Sink" cookies is better. I had to try them .
I also baked the New York Times Chocolate Chip Cookie. I froze two batches as a
start to my Christmas baking.
