Well, today is Valentine’s Day, so that in itself is lucky and I…<\/p>\n

1. Luckily remembered it was a special day and decided to get something nice for dinner. I went to the “upscale” butchers (Cumbrae’s) and bought a small piece of butterflied leg of lamb for dinner and some prepared brussel sprouts that were cooked with bacon and walnuts, yum. I decided to save on the potates, so I just did home fries with onions and mushrooms, because for some reason we had a lot of leftover potatoes.<\/p>\n

2. My son did manage to get his portfolio finished in time, so we spent the morning at George Brown College, after we found it of course – you entered from an back alley off some tiny street, downtown – I did get a parking spot, though!<\/p>\n

3. I also went out for a coffee, while at the college and found this little cafe that was right out of the 50’s. It had a long counter with stools and a row of booths on the other side.  There may even have been a juke box with each booth, not sure. N. E. corner of Richmond and George, if you are near there. What luck! <\/p>\n

4. Fortunately, I also managed to finish Saggittarius – pictures after it is blocked!!<\/p>\n

5. My husband brought home flowers – tulips – and since we had cleared the kitchen table for portfolio making, we put everything on the dining room table. Here’s the picture. Lucky to have an indoor garden!<\/p>\n

6. Fortunately, I also remembered a friend telling me about a Scottish Fish & Chip place in Toronto that not only does deep fried Mars bars, but it also does deep fried Oreo cookies – thank you, Daniel – I could then post to my FB group – learn something new everyday – with this tidbit!<\/p>\n

All in all it was a very good (lucky) day. Happy Valentines Day!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
