walked to and from the Park for lunch on Thursday…

happy to see the new design and menu items and so pleased to meet up with a wonderful friend and spend some quality time together;-)…

the place looks great, with more greenery and comfortable chairs that move much easier… the space seems more open… didn’t even realize that the kitchen was no longer visible…

the menu looked much classier than the previous version and my falafel plate was excellent, as always…

my friend had the eggs Benedict which was also tasty…

the fried potatoes with onions was not a favourite…

we watched adult geese wander the paths with their numerous babies as we enjoyed our meal…

I took this photo as I was crossing the bridge;-)…

lovely…

the other day I picked up a hanging basket that was “free” because we spent a zillion dollars on groceries, lol…

the plan is to use it in the front planter beside the door as it had lots of plants and flowers flowing down the sides…

brought it out of the garage today to get a bit of sun because it still isn’t warm enough for it to go into the pot, lol…

while it was sitting out, a lovely big bumblebee stopped by for some pollen…

it buzzed around the various flowers for quite a few minutes before heading off to find other treats…

what a great start to the day…

last week I bought a lovely scarf at The Leaf…

today, while I was working my shift at the Mediterranean Biome exit spot, I watched a woman unfold a purple t-shirt in the Gift shop which is just outside the exit and perfectly in my view, lol…

so at the end of my day, I went and found one for me…

it is lovely and I know I will enjoy wearing it this summer;-)…

I may have to stop looking through those doors, lol…

a bit later, after I got home, a friend stopped by with a delicious piece of cake… we’d talked earlier in the week about this exact dessert… a lovely treat and visit…

I did share it with my housemate;-)…

pretty fine day…

just after I took this photo of a beautiful allium, a visitor asked me what it was…

then I had a lovely conversation with another visitor who was telling me about the allium that grew in her garden outside of the city… she said they grew six feet tall and took over the garden…

made me laugh as I shared how this was one of my beloved’s favourites and no matter what we did, they would not grow for us…

we ended the conversation noting that, in our experience, some plants will or won’t grow for certain people, lol…

today, while I was working an early shift at The Leaf, I spotted this beautiful hummingbird scarf, which I then had to buy;-)…

it is made out of plastic bottles and is sooo soft and lightweight…

one of the great things about the Gift Shop there is how often they change the products…

and, if you see something you want, you need to buy it right away, because it might not be there the next time you go, lol…

the chair covers have not really been doing their job so the cushions have been inside the patio doors and kind of clogging up the kitchen…

I am testing using both covers on one chair to see if that will protect the cushions and keep them dry…

fingers crossed…

we will see how it works out;-)…

my buddy and I have been going to aquasize long before we both retired…

since retirement, we’ve been going to the Pan Am Pool, either Tuesdays or Thursdays…

last year my buddy went to the annual Aquasize Lunch and this year we both went…

we had a lovely meal at Breezy Bend…

it was fun to try to recognize one another with clothes, hair, and makeup…

there were lots of items to try to win, although we didn’t bring anything home, lol…

a lovely group of people;-)…

and the service was excellent…

took Indi to have a bath this morning…

spent a few minutes before leaving home to empty out the trunk so it could be cleaned as well…

when I arrived there were maybe 10 or 15 cars lined up, but I decided to wait…

took about 25 minutes to get in and then about 15 to run through the machinery…

she always looks gorgeous when she comes out, and with her summer rims on, lol…

when she was done there were about 40 cars waiting…

good thing I waited, lol…

spent the morning between reading and watching the move-out next door…

luckily, there were lots of helpers, although it still took four hours to fill the u-haul, two trucks, and two cars before they left…

an hour or so later, as the sky was clouding over, a hired crew came to move the hot tub to its new home…

next up will be seeing who moves in;-)
