<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's been a very long time since I posted on my blog. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The grief I had been feeling since my sisters passing </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">four years ago held me back from doing things I loved. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I miss her every day </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">but I need to get back to things.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I bought a new camera in March after getting a chip on the lens of my old Canon. I bought a new Nikon Coolpix P900, an advanced point and shoot. I absolutely love it, especially for taking bird photos! I can feel myself becoming obsessed with birding! Such great fun!</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">January is already starting to fly by… </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Our son and his girlfriend flew out early this morning,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> our Christmas vacation is over.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The house is so quiet, I miss my kids. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I wish we lived closer together.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Mark and I went to the beach before dinner, brrr. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We sure didn't linger there for long, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">what a cold winter this has been so far.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I had surgery on my left knee just over 3 weeks ago. I went in to have the torn meniscus cleaned up, but once the surgeon looked at the inside of my knee decided to do some micro fracturing too. It is a slow heal. I am still on crutches, but am light weight bearing, thank goodness, as I am not good on crutches for non weight bearing. I am still mostly house bound, and unsure of what I should be doing or shouldn't be doing. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am looking forward to being able to go for a walk outside, or to even go to the grocery store..it is a lesson in patience.</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Time is flying, the first week of September has almost passed. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In July I hurt my left knee, I had a MRI last week in the city and saw my family doctor yesterday to get the results. I tore the meniscus in a few places .. boy oh boy .. it sucks to be getting old. Lucky for me there will be an orthopaedic surgeon here next week and he had some cancellations. On Monday morning I will have surgery to repair my left knee again. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This isn't the way I thought I would be spending the last weeks of summer and the beginning of autumn, but I am grateful.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hello!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I haven't been around much.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Two cats have been keeping me busy, busier than I imagined.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have also been in the birch bush, then in the gardens. I am not finished with the gardens just yet. Still edging my neighbours garden, and will plant some sunflowers that I started in flats, over there. I will plant them here too, as well as the pole beans I also started in flats. They usually getting eaten off by creatures if I plant them directly into the garden.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In February I joined our local biggest loser group hosted by our medical clinic. I am happy to say at our last weigh in for the summer that I am down 11.7 pounds, I have lost 6.3% of my body weight!! Whee, I was very happy and excited yesterday when I got on the scale. I haven't lost any weight in the past month, but I haven't gained any either, so I am maintaining. I must get back on my weight loss band wagon, I still want to lose 15 or so pounds. I did 13 days of green juicing but was stopped short by a family tragedy. I would like to start juicing again, I felt really good while doing it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Our lilacs are just starting to come out in full bloom as well os our ornamental crab apple tree. It is finally starting to feel like summer.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I will try hard to post more regularly..</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Enjoy the summer!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I absolutely love the blue ice on the beach this afternoon. We are having a spring snow storm, snowy and very blowy. It was really cold out there, and the wind was driving the snow into our eyes. Hehe, I didn't want to come home, I was mesmerized by the vibrant blue ice. The blue just seems to pop in the grey of this snowy day.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I love it!</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For Christmas I adopted two tuxedo male brothers.. Fred and Morty. Black faced Fred, and pink nose Morty. They lived in a shelter in a cage for one year. They were 18 months when they came home. The are both very fearful, we think they were abused in their first 6 months before they went to live at the shelter. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We are trying to teach them about being outside, I would like them to be outside cats, but I am fearful they will run away, or out on the road. I had them out on leashes yesterday but two cats on strings are very hard for one person to handle.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">They were out loose this morning but it took Mark and I a long time to catch them to bring them back in. Fred screams at the door to go out..</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">They are a handful but they are sweeties!</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It was a chilly damp, mild day today, but the wind was very cold down at the Lake. There is ice building up on the shore, it seems to change every day. I love to hear the tinkling sound of the ice as it undulates with the wave action underneath. Beauties!</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I made this delicious stew for dinner last night. My Gram L. used to make it years ago when I lived with them while I was in college. My Grandpa used to make their sauerkraut, yum! It is an old Polish recipe, but I had to wing it from memory and taste. It is pretty close to what I remember.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1 tbsp. olive oil</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">2 large onion, chopped</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1 bulb of garlic, chopped</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">2 pork tenderloin, trimmed of fat, and cubed</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">3 litres of chicken broth</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1 cup uncooked barley</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">4 cups sauerkraut</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">salt and pepper to taste</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In a very large pot heat the olive oil and sauté the onion and garlic until softened. Add the cubed pork and continue cooking on medium heat until all the meat has been browned. Add the broth, and bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer covered for an hour or so. Add the barley and cook with the pot covered until the barley is tender, about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the sauerkraut with the liquid, and cook for half an hour more, season with salt and black pepper to taste.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It is ready to serve!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It makes a lot, but we (three of us) had it for two meals with a little leftover for tomorrows lunch.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Enjoy!</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Yesterday afternoon as I was cooking our Thanksgiving dinner Mark spotted this water spout, funnel cloud out on the Lake. There wasn't much time for me to get a few photos of it as it was moving east on the Lake. The hospital blocks our view, but it was pretty cool to watch it while I could.</span></div>
