vs
2020 - The Ford Motor Company posts a minimum wage of $25 per HOUR for an 8 hour work day (plus benefits........)

Wednesday started with sunshine.

I decided to take some in!

I got up, dressed and loaded the car.

I turned on the seat warmer,

Set the heat to floor only

And opened the sunroof to get some vitamin D.

First stop: Loblaws on Wonderland Road

Pick up the last (i thought)

of the wedding album photos.

Second stop: Holland Cookie Factory

I not only grabbed the Valleyview

Fundraiser cookies but some

Valentine's gifts too!

Third stop: LDO

Where I sorted photos for 2 hours.

Fourth stop: WalMart

Where I did print a few more photos

And exchanged my food processor

For a "non-smoking" version.

Home again,

I changed into work clothes

And folded a load of laundry

Before making a broccoli cheese sauce

And creating a ham 

and scalloped potato casserole

For tonight's supper.

Dishwasher loaded and counters scrubbed,

I lit the candles around the house

And hunkered down in case

The actual storm hits us tonight.

Homemade cookies for dessert

While we watched a comedy show.

I have ordered a few more photos 

For the wedding album(s)

As a few I KNOW I want are missing.

John is off to work now,

And I am comfortably wrapped 

In a comfy old comforter

Watching Disney+ and drinking hot apple cider.

Good night from John Street
