great service

Wilbur our construction guy....he is wonderful....the damaged wall is just about complete...and it looks great. It really is a relief knowing that the person you have hired to do 'work' is good..I didn't take before pictures, because he was so fast I didn't have a chance, and I was out of the house when he started...and it's just about complete...I will most likely be painting at the end of next week....

now we just have to deal with all the snow that has fallen...another storm last night....heavy wet snow...I was out shoveling at about 9am this morning...so now the driveway and walkway are clear again...this is when I curse that we have a double driveway...and I really insist on it being completely clear....down to the cement...oh well, I consider it my daily exercise...I should post some photos....

Fixing things up

In my first post I had said that during the winter months, we prepare for our upcoming season by sprucing things up etc....well, because of some damage to a wall in one of our B&B bathrooms, I've had to call in our 'construction' guy....who has told us, that he has to build out part of the wall, new stapping, foam insulation, new dry wall, etc....to save time and a wee bit of money, I told him I would repaint (ha ha)....it could be a lot worse though, the damaged section is small. I just politely asked if it could be all complete in a couple of weeks...the bookings are starting to come in, and I don't want to have to deal with any 'repairs'.... he complied.

Honey-Lime Dressing...

Wow, this has got to be the BEST fruit salad dressing I have ever had....I tried this recipe at a cooking
class  went to... we had a fruit salad for desert, but you could use this for a great breakfast fruit salad...it's very refreshing.
You can use a combination of any fruit, it's always best to use fresh, and seasonal fruits...I had this fruit salad in the winter, so the chef used cantaloupe, honeydew melon, green seedless grapes, pineapple, papaya, strawberries...
The dressing combines (adjust the quantities accordingly) plain yogurt, fresh lime juice, honey, grated fresh lime peel ( the chef used a lot of lime zest to give it extra zip, and it was delicious).
The dressing is then poured over the prepared fruit, and carefully mixed until all the fruit is coated.
