I got to the Kitchen really early last Thursday only to be stopped for 10 minutes just before the building due to this gravel carrying train stopping my progress.
My job that day was to slice up chicken breasts. A large white bin of chicken breasts. This is my THIRD pair of gloves that I wore during the process!!!! Then I had to pain stakingly go through all of the cubes of chicken looking for little tiny peaces of blue plastic!!! All those cuts and no blood!!! It was a good day.
I actually got called back in on Friday as one of the coolers had a problem over night and they had a big catering event on Saturday and needed another 300 pounds of potatoes prepared for potato salad as the first batch had gone bad. I did a case of celery, 50 lbs. of onions, about 100 pounds of potatoes and chopped up onions for hamburger topping. All in two and a half hours!!!! Great fun!!!
We have discovered the Satellite Movie Theatre in Titusville. Our first movie was American Sniper. I found it a little strange to be sitting in the theatre surrounded by primarily men wearing their forces hat's and jackets watching this movie. It is a movie that does not glorify war. It shows the horror, savagery and PTSD associated with those who engage in war in graphic detail. When the movie finished, there was very little applause and I was busy mopping up like many others.
Next was The Imitation Game. Ray liked the intricate machinery involved and I was quite fascinated and amazed at the restrictive laws in Britain during the 50s and 60s. I want to find out more about our Canadian laws regarding homosexuality and when they were changed. This is a good movie.
We finally made it back to the beach on Sunday. What a lovely day!!! I picked up quite a few shells for a future project and managed to get soaking wet doing it!!! It was only our second time to the beach. It has just been too cool. This weekend the overnight low is going to be just over zero. Oh, no sympathy!?!?!?
These two lovely vultures were enjoying their day at the beach too.
Early on late Sunday afternoon the lookers started arriving next door for the launch. There were many more than this at 6:00 p.m. just before the scheduled time of take off. We got down to the last seconds and again it was launchus interuptus. They were rescheduled for last night but it was foggy, rainy and even some thunder and lightening. We are set for tonight at 6:05 p.m. Can hardly wait!!! This is beginning to be a bit like going through Europe and looking at suits of armour. If you've seen one, you've seen them all!!! But I maybe able to get a good pic which is more than a bright light.
This weekend we had an estate sale just around the corner. It was an antique store that had accumulated a building full of stock waiting to be put on display in the actual store. Oh my, what fun!!! I bought a few things on Friday and then went back on Sunday figuring the really good deals would happen and sure enough everything I wanted was half price. I will be selling my jams, scarves, and antiquey things on Fridays at the Information Centre at Fern Glen Road and hwy.11 from 10-2:00. I have this fabulous 12 piece setting of Rogers silver plate along with all the extra pieces from 1965. Ray found it on line for over a thousand dollars but you and I can make a really good deal!!!!!
