went to the Park Cafe for breakfast and had a very nice time…

Richard was our waitperson and he did a wonderful job…

I had tea as we waited for our breakfast and it did seem to be taking a bit longer than usual, but not horribly…

when it came, Richard advised that they cooked my poached eggs to medium and he remembered that I had asked for very soft, so he had them redo them, which was why it took a bit longer…

he also mentioned at the end that I could have requested a grilled tomato instead of the hash browns which he saw that I hadn’t eaten…

it was the first time in ages that I felt we’d received stellar service at a restaurant…

he got a big tip;-)…

I’ve been asking my grandson to get the car washed for ages…

he had numerous reasons why it didn’t happen, but they boiled down to the fact that it would just get dirty again…

I finally gave an ultimatum that it had to be washed… poor thing was filthy…

he went out Wednesday evening and brought Indy home clean… even though it was dreadfully cold, thankfully, none of the doors froze up…

she looks so nice;-)…

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;-)…

had wonton soup for supper…

seemed like just the thing as I haven’t felt particularly hungry…

I’ve been eating yellow peppers and vitamin C throughout the day in an effort to stop a cold from giving me grief…

the only thing I’ve been feeling is tired… I slept for eight hours straight overnight, which is not my usual pattern, and was still tired all day…

made mashed potatoes for tomorrow’s supper to go along with a roasted chicken and some type of salad…

then took a few naps and read a bit…

a quiet and restful day…

wow, last night we went to see a light ballet…

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…

was having some trouble with the new photo frame…

for some reason it stopped accepting photos that were sent to it…

after some investigation I discovered that it was offline… wasn’t sure why or how to fix that…

then all of a sudden it was working again…

I’ve also decided to turn it to vertical rather than horizontal… the majority of pictures I take use that orientation…

and was able to change the piece on the back so that the frame stands up the way I want, lol…

had a bit of a giggle the other day…

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;-)…

seemed a bit serendipitous…
