Thanks for the Daily!!
 

I rarely post but visit quite often.  Nice group of people here.

We just booked a TA for next fall on HAL and are really looking forward to it 🙂.

We are on our way to pick up our grand dog as our son and family are going on vacay for a week.

Our grand dog is a Dobie mix rescue.  He is a sweetheart but he is a thief!  Last time we took care of him he ate a TV remote, 2 socks, a N95 mask and 6 hamburger buns. Lol.

we are ready this time😂

Happy Easter and thanks for the Daily!
 

I have to walk around my elderly Beagle pretty much all day long.

we are taking our grandson to the park today and will give him his Easter basket, that’s about all we could do this year, no family gathering.

wishing all a wonderful day!

Thanks for the Daily!!!
 

We always have crayons on hand for our grandson.

We spent a wonderful afternoon people watching by the Eiffel Tower, munching on baguette. Great memories.

Hubby has appointment next week for his first jab!!  I should be in the next group, 60 to 65.  Things are looking up.

Thanks so much for the Daily!!

Love all the sharing, pictures, memes.

I am a lurker😄 but have made this thread part of my morning routine.

One year ago today I left work, little did I know that I would never return🙁

I retired last August as planned , but no goodbye hugs with the people who were such a big part of my life. It was more of a drive-by retirement party.

There are definitely brighter days ahead, and I’m keeping those who have lost so much in my thoughts.

Jo

Good morning to all!

No puddles here, all frozen.

My grandson went skating for the first time yesterday , he’s  2 1/2. Better late than never!! 😉 😄🏒

Stay safe everybody!,

Well the appliances certainly don’t last🙁     
 

we just bought a new Whirlpool dishwasher,   Hoping for the best!

Good morning and thanks for the Daily!

Good day!

We are also watching  the Juniors play tonight.  Go 🇨🇦.

Also NHL starts next week, hubby and sons are very happy!
 

We find out tomorrow if we are going back to total lockdown. sigh. Not much different for me but I feel for the businesses and schools.

Love the cat pictures!
 

We are dog people, however if I wasn’t allergic to cats, I’m sure we would have cats too!

Finally got a bit of snow, about 5 inches, it looks beautiful.

No problem!!

Tourtière Québécoise

1  1/2 lb minced pork

1 small chopped onion

1 clove garlic minced

1/2  teaspoon salt, 1/2  teaspoon savory

1/4 teaspoon celery salt

1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, I put a bit more.

1/2 cup  beef bouillon 

1 small grated potato

cook all ingredients in saucepan till thickened and meat is fully cooked, about 30 min. 
 

cool mixture, then spoon in pastry lined pie plate, cover with top crust, brush with egg wash and make 4 or 5 slits on top.

Bake at 400 F ,  around 20 minutes covered, another 15 minutes uncovered or until golden brown.

Note:  ground beef/veal/pork mix can also be used , or any of the three.

the original ,however, is pork only.

this recipe is by memory😄 herbs and spices quantity are to taste.

Welcome, Jo! Any chance you would be willing to share your recipe? I keep trying to find “the one”.
 

And thank you for posting the French words with the correct accents. Some programs do that automatically for me, but not this time. 

 

I don’t mind sharing but I don’t have a recipe per se.... I will check my old recipe folder... might have it somewhere😄

Lurker here!

I only recently discovered this thread and it is wonderful!  Brings a smile every day, thanks for doing this and Happy New Year to all.

No hangover here but glad to toss 2020 to the curb.

We are also having our traditional tourtière today, also passed down by my Mémère❤️ Also making her sucre à la crème.

Stay healthy all!
 

Jo.

Road trip & Renos! 🙂

Thanks all!  Lovely pictures.

Reminds me why we love cruising so much!

week 3 of self-isolating..... wine time🍷lol

I’m beginning my third week of self isolation.

I work in healthcare but home because of immune system issues.

i retire in a few months and am devastated that I am not there for my crew at the hospital.  I’m not front line but help keep things running.  I am worried for my coworkers.

Spring  cleaning and Skyping with Grandbabby keeping us busy.

A Fall TA was to be my retirement cruise but will reschedule for Fall 2021, hopefully!

Just now received the  “voyage redeployment “ e-mail from Princess.

Thanks for posting this!

the Enchanted TA looks interesting . Lots of new ports for us.

LOL ... faised out. Funny.

drugs

 

The state of inebriation when engineers are sick and tired of doing all of their schoolwork and just go and get really drunk and high.

Wow. Critical much? No idea why phased did not appear. Whatever .

People can do what they want, obviously. My opinion changed when we went to Marineland, regretted taking the kids there. Never went to an animal park/zoo after that.

So disappointed that this tour is even offered... hopefully as pax stop booking it, it will be faised out.

We never take tours that involve animals , their welfare are rarely taken in consideration and they are terribly exploited.

That goes for Seaworld type parks, swimming with dolphins, sled dogs, etc.

I went to check and our deposit is refundable as a new booking, I have it in writing, phew.

Apparently if combined with the Red White and Blue sale , or the Great Getaways sale it is not refundable as per the agency promo.

with Princess putting the Obstructed balconies in the interior category, i wonder if they will be excluded from this sale?

The cruise we have a deposit on has gone up $500.00 today, 3 days before the sip and sail promo.
