JUNE 17

June 17th 2017

My friends often ask
what foods I can eat.
My crohns is not as finicky
as I have heard other peoples is.
I can pretty much eat
anything I want
with the exception of cream soda,
fruit loops and oreo cookies.
I still have to avoid small seeds
and whole grains,
but otherwise I am pretty much good
to eat all my favourite foods.

Except popcorn.

My favourite indulgence

is home made caramel popcorn.

Have made it since I was a kid

in St Catharines.

LOVE it.

Had to have it last night.

Just a big craving.

Yup paid for the today.

Cramps and stomach pains

are the price I pay

and they were pretty intense today.

I forget (as I do not indulge often)

just what a crappy day I have

after a movie and popcorn night.

Slept late,

and then tried to sit comfortably

until we needed to get going

for Valleyview at 1:30pm.

The Essex was making a road trip

over to the Fathers Day party.

It made it there and back

under its own power,

I just followed along behind

as a sort of back up j.i.c.

Dad and John had a great time

showing it off

and hearing stories from those

who had owned or driven one

way back then! (1926)

When we got home,

I went to bed

and slept until 6:30.

The cramps were a bit better.

Went and checked

out the garage progress.

The bench fits PERFECTLY

and the book shelf storage

is the right size too.

Tomorrow,

after a Father's Day bbq lunch,

he intends to paint the work bench.

I am on photo lock down

at this point in the reno

as per John until it is done.

John and I had supper

watching The Ranch on Netflix

and some cookies for dessert.

WOW look at my

exciting saturday night eh????

John has been going on 2 hours sleep

so I have sent him to the shower

and we are headed to bed.

Mom wants us all at mass

9am?!?!?!??!

and then we are all coming back here

for a surf and turf BBQ lunch.

Happy Father's Day to all.

Good night from John Street
