had trouble staying focussed on my book on Wednesday as there was a lot of activity across the way…
two workers spent the entire morning stringing a new wire…
it was so cold I felt bad for them, but they seemed comfortable as I watched…
the most interesting thing was what appeared to be a torpedo shaped object which one person pulled along the line… I think it was winding the new wire around the old ones…
my beloved would have been able to tell me exactly what it was and how it worked, lol…
but, all of those goings-on really made it hard to concentrate on my book;-)…
yesterday, for Valentine’s Day, I wore a lovely red pullover that my beloved got me in Banff, many, many, years ago;-)… it is one of the few pieces of red clothing that I own…
a lovely reminder of him and how romantic he was, particularly at Valentine’s…
I received an early phone call from my daughter and had my breakfast in a heart-shaped bowl…
lunch was a heart-shaped pizza, yum…
all of which was quite lovely…
ended the day with a hand-delivered card from my little buddies next door;-)… what a treat;-)…
it was fun to go out in the evening because I don’t do that very often anymore, lol…
reminded me of when my housemate and I went to see a candlelight music presentation last year… standing in a long line beforehand and then how quickly it moved once the doors opened…
there was wine available and it was interesting to see the variety of people who attended, from young girls to elderly couples… seemed like date night for many in attendance…
besides the five dancers, a violinist played at various points during the show…
while the performance was on there was not a sound in the audience…
parking went well and even the cold temperatures didn’t bother the crowd…
as I pulled out my newest mug in the morning – the chickadees – I looked up at the kitchen display and saw that it was showing a photo of the first time I took a photo of the mug;-)…
I particularly enjoy the fact that this mug shows two chickadees, one on each side so that I can see the bird, even as a leftie;-)…
began Saturday morning with my usual cup of tea in the living room…
the house was very quiet after all the activity over the week…
Monday, my group attended The Leaf and Gather Craft Kitchen & Bar to celebrate a birthday and view the Fleurs de Villes display, so that was a busy day…
it was nearly midnight when we picked up my daughter at the airport and we stayed up late (early!) catching up and eating Baked Expectations deadly chocolate mousse…
Tuesday we went for pedicures, stopped for lunch at a local coffee shop, picked up a few groceries and then returned home… I also learned the ins-and-outs of Uber… my housemate made us a delicious supper and lots of visiting happened…
Wednesday, we went to The Leaf and spent the entire day there doing all-the-things as she would say… in the evening she went to MTC with a friend while I took it easy, lol…
Thursday, after a quiet morning, she headed to The Forks for coffee with other family and later my middle grandson arrived for a visit and supper;-)…
Friday, we started our morning at Stella’s on Portage for breakfast and then spent four hours wandering through the WAG/Quamajuq… it was my first visit since the new addition and I was impressed with how great it turned out…
every day she brought out gifts for me🤗, what a treat…
it was a wonderful week and I enjoyed every single minute…
