Getting ready for the long weekend

Just a short post as we are heading to the cottage early today.
We are having my dad and Doreen, David, Amanda & Tom, Sharon & Jim, all up there this weekend.
We are going to have some fireworks and enjoy some yummy food.
This is my MIL Cil's Blueberry cheesecake recipe. It is sooooo good. The container isn't the nicest but it travels well.

Her is also my MIL's recipe for broccoli salad. Yummy.
I am all over the place today.
1st I got woken up at 5:00am by some kids setting off fireworks in the back park.
Then ran out because I needed to do laundry and I didn't have any laundry soap.
Went to get a couple groceries and ribs for camp
Did some laundry.
Caught up on all my work tickets
Made my cheesecake...yum
Made my salad
Now I have to clean up and pack for camp. Looking forward to a fun, relaxing weekend.
Oh I priced out insurance for Ashley to drive our jeep. It will cost her $947.00 a year as occasional. She is not impressed. Especially because she can only use it when I don't need it.
Maybe she will be looking for her own vehicle soon.
Ashley also got that job that she interviewed for yesterday. She starts on Aug 12th.
Thankful Thursday

  4. YUM! Blueberry cheesecake is my favorite and that salad looks awesome. Wow, that sounds like a huge amount of money for an occasional driver. Is that common in Canada? Is it 'cause she's only gotten to phase 1 of all 3 phases? Congrats to Ashley on getting the job! Have a wonderful weekend!!!

  5. Looks delicious! I'm baking a cherry cheesecake tomorrow morning. :) (Yes, baking...I don't really like the "throw together" ones you don't bake).

    We're heading up to a relative's camp this weekend, ourselves. Probably no internet connection. BOO HISS.

    Car insurance is SO expensive in Ontario compared to here in Pennsylvania. Found that out when we moved here.

  7. I didn't need to see that cheesecake that early in the morning. Now I'm going to be craving it ALL DAY. Can you send a piece to New Jersey?
