Putting in time

It seems with the cooler temps and rainy weather these days that I am just putting in time. Can't really work outside much, and hate to start anything new inside. What a dilemma haha! I made a trip to North Bay today on my own - Harry had advertised house plants to give away on Kijiji. We have too many and really need to downsize a bit. He got a response and was going to get them ready for us to take today but he is a bit under the weather so guess who hauled them up there! I did a little grocery shopping as well so all was not lost. I was back home by 1230 pm.
One on my lasting memories of home was going to the Dentist ( and to Ronald's Shoe Store of course)  I had my share of cavities and hated to go under "the tent" - that big piece of rubber they used to cover the teeth. My how techniques have improved over the years. But I would say my teeth were OK - compared to you Pati describing yours as rotten, and of course Cathy with your orthodontic work. I often wonder how Mom and Dad were able to manage finances but I think Mom had a good arrangement with Dr T over the years- don't you? Speaking of cavities (and me with an appointment for Oct) I have made all sorts of goodies trying to use up blueberries and apples. I made a blueberry upside down cake yesterday and it is really quite delicious - but I sure don't need any of it.  And those butter tarts by the way were not all that good - very (very!) thick pastry and tough at that. I know that for entering the fall fair with butter tarts you have to make thick and fluted edged pastry shells in order to win ( I never won with my ho hum thin and crumbly pastry tarts ) So maybe folks around here just naturally make them that way.
Well, time to round up things for the night. Tuck all the animals in, and pull out my book. "Same old same old"  routine every night! Take care..
