How was my day? it was fine as I did go to the Easter Hop Event at the Wiarton Community Center, where I got to see some lovely woman and friends I do enjoy seeing.  

What did I accomplish today?  The dishes are done, three loads of laundry are done, the puppies have been clean and fed too many times to count, I straightened out and rid myself of some papers, flyers, junk mail, etc.

I enjoyed the Sunshine we were finally blessed with today, "Just North of Wiarton & South of the Checkerboard".
