✋ SA’d multiple times, starting when I was a teen. Not a single woman I know has not been. Time for men to be better.

🇨🇦 Since my favourite toque is missing, it’s time to make another. This is the Maine Cables Hat pattern by Heather Anderson. Tea + knitting + #Canada’sWorstDriver reruns = a relaxing evening. #Knitting #Ravelry

🇨🇦 My son & his girlfriend took me out for a birthday lunch. We went to Braumeister Bierhalle. I had the kasnocken (spatzle), then we went to Chocolats Favoris for my free dessert. Prost! Life is good. 😊
Four hands are holding white 500ml beer steins and raising a toast. There is a checked blue and white tablecloth on a table. One hand is holding up a drink coaster that says Braumeister Brewing Company. A white bowl is on a white plate on a blue and white checkered tablecloth. The bowl has spatzle in it, which is a German egg noodle dish. The plate has four pickled hot peppers and two slices of garlic bread with a green herb seasoning on it.

🇨🇦Hubby is watching a WW2 documentary. Churchill’s speech played. My mind wandered, and I ended up listening to this instead while doing dishes. 😂 This is one of the best songs ever, and still sounds amazing today. #Supertramp youtu.be/9gn4KFJLdKs?...

🇨🇦 I love our country. The natural beauty of the terrain, the wildlife and the people make it the best place in the world. The seasons all have their special moments, but my favourite is definitely fall when all the leaves are a riot of colour. 🍁 #Canada #StrongAndFree

Make the slaves work hard to think they are getting ahead; meanwhile, they will kill themselves with exhaustion while making no progress. Seems pretty accurate.

I’ve been canning all lot this year. Pickled jalapeños & onions, and salsa made with veggies from my garden, apples I harvested from a neighbour’s tree, and I pressure canned some potatoes when I got an awesome sale. My neighbour is giving me pears, so I need to figure out what to do with them. 🇨🇦

🇨🇦 Always check country of origin. Just because something is labelled as a product of Canada on the shelf doesn’t mean it actually is. I left the cilantro on the shelf and went to Farm Boy for 🇨🇦 cilantro instead. I don’t want 💥💩 because of American produce. #ElbowsUp #BuyCanadian #ShopCanadian

🇨🇦 My niece is a buyer for Costco & gave me something to try out. The Better Quality Cook Off Sauce is made in Ontario. I love the taste. Hopefully it will be carried as a product. It’s not on their company website, but there’s other stuff to check out. Tbq.ca #BuyCanadian #Canada #ElbowsUp #Food

🇨🇦. Another day, another failure of public transit in the nation’s capital. We used to have awesome service. After riding transit since 1988, you forced me to buy a car this year. Do better! #OCTranspo #Ottawa #Canada
