Getting into the Hallowe’en Spirit in the Neighbourhood

Yesterday Kevin and I went shopping for our Hallowe’en treats to shell out this Friday. We’re feeling a little behind this year because of our recent trip to the UK. We did purchase our pumpkins before we left but we left them in the house so that the squirrels couldn’t feast on them.

The neighbours, however, started putting out their decorations at the beginning of October.

A Month of Celebration

…August 2025

August started with my sister’s birthday and a family celebrating 50 years in Canada. The Heideckers became very close friends with my Mom and Dad soon after they arrived. Sadly they are no longer with us so my sister and I were there to represent the Winklers.

In the middle of the month Kevin and I celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary. Where did the years go? We invited our friends and family to share a meal at a wonderful Italian restaurant, Pulcinella.

Twelve days later we had a quiet dinner on my birthday and two days later at our lawn bowling end of summer event the club sang Happy Birthday to me and another Carol. That was quite unexpected.

Today I attended the 50th wedding anniversary of a couple I knew in high school and when our children went to school together we became good friends. This party was held at the Rogers Centre during a baseball game with the Blue Jays and the Brewers. It was a great game and the Jays won 8 to 4. Congratulations to Diane and Don. Thanks for a fantastic day!

Easter at the Market This Week

…special bread and extra vendors

This week we brought out a recipe for bread that we haven’t made in several years….Timbit Paske. We slightly altered our fruit bread and added four Timbits when we shaped the dough.

There certainly was a lot of interest in this bread and it was mostly sold when I left the market an hour after the market opened.

Along with the regular vendors we had a few new merchants with special treats for Easter.
