Happy Sunday everyone! A huge welcome to the shortest month of the year. Russell and I can now say that we're off to Barbados next month 🌴
This past week was good and very productive. We went through our closets and sorted out our beachwear. I got Russell a few pairs of cargo shorts and those Manmade T-Shirts that have become so popular, a Canadian-owned and Montreal based company. I bought myself a couple of cute dresses from my favorite store in Pointe-Claire Village, Artizan. We almost have everything we need.
We got some snow last Sunday. Compared to previous years, we don't have a lot although it seems like we do as Russell keeps blowing the snow onto the barbecues. They are totally covered so no chicken wings on the BBQ any time soon LOL! I smiled when I looked at the video below of January 2021... that was when we didn't block off the yard in the Winter. I can't believe the shovelling I did then!
Merlot & Sherlock are doing well. Despite the cold, they've been playing hard in the backyard. We haven't had a lot of walks as it's been too cold, not so much for the pooches, but for us. Some days were simply frigid. Somewhat milder weather is on tap this week.
The 2026 Westminster Dog Show is on tomorrow and Tuesday. Myriam and Cosette are attending again this year. We will watch the Toy Group tomorrow at 3:15. Last year, Cosette won Select Female. Fingers crossed for another win!
Russell has a routine colonoscopy on Wednesday. I can almost guarantee no walk for him on Tuesday LOL!
The Winter Olympics start on Friday. We always enjoy watching the various events. I've been following the news surrounding the potential launch of Artemis II. Due to the cold weather in Florida, the launch date has been pushed from February 6 to February 8. I have a feeling that it will be delayed though. We'll see.
That's my blog for this first Sunday of February. It is shaping up to be a month filled with big moments...Super Bowl, Russell's birthday, Valentine's Day, the Olympics, possibly a lunar spaceflight mission...no doubt with unpredictable moments along the way 😏
Have a wonderful week!
