Good Morning from an overcast Edmonton.
There is rain in the forecast and I am hoping that I can get everything done quickly so that I can take Mr. Alvin for a walk.
Blog and then shower and then walk.
How are you doing today?
Are you getting enough rest, keeping hydrated and eating well and exercise.
How could I forget the exercise.
Today I thought I would take our minds off things by posting some photos.
Yesterday Teddy came to visit Alvin.
I did some baking (yes, I did).
GUESS WHAT?
I baked a banana cranberry orange with coffee spice loaf.
It is the first time in my 62+ years that I have made one that turned out perfectly.
Baked through and through.
I even changed the recipe somewhat.
So good.
The ENERGY BITES ….. made almost 4 dozen of them.
Changing up, using what I had.
Ended up using Chipit Kisses, Cranberries and Sliced Almonds.
WIth the other regular items such as oatmeal, coconut, peanut butter and honey.
They are tasting pretty good.
I managed to get all the laundry done except for one load (that will be for later today).
I was trying to capture two friends hanging out each with a chew treat.
Treat kept moving.
Alvin just watching.
This is the recipe for the Energy Bites.
See how much you can mix things up.
Try some of your fav ingredients.
My best creation EVER.
Voile, a BANANA CRANBERRY ORANGE COFFEE SPICE LOAF.
First time ever that I have baked one of these and they turned out perfectly.
I have made muffins until the cows came home.
Banana cakes galore but not until yesterday did an attempt at a loaf ever turn out.
I am over the moon.
It tastes so good.
I made sure to try it out when it was still warm.
I fed the boys and after supper.
Teddy had a boost of energy as he quickly threw most of the toys from the bed.
Well time to hit the shower.
Freshen up.
Then hopefully head out for a walk.
Wishing you a great Sunday.
Perhaps you will go for a walk.
Or maybe read a book.
Watch your favourite movie or a new one.
Watch a series that you have recorded and not found the time to see.
Bake a cake.
Phone a friend.
Colour a picture.
Learn something new.
Check out all the FREE online courses, on the internet.
So much to do….. now you have the time.
Take care.
Oh, by the way, I forgot to take photos of my gernamium plant.
It is crazy blooming and growing so big.
This photo was from a few weeks ago.
I will take some photos later and show you the actual size of this plant.
It has taken to the spot that it is home.
The pink flowers are so gorgeous.
So many buds just waiting for the perfect moment to explode in perfect pinkness.
Happy Sunday.
With kindness and respect.
We remain,
Always, Carol & Alvin
