spent time this morning at Fleurs de Villes, at The Leaf, with my adventure buddy;-)…

what a treat…

each display had many gorgeous flowers and lots of very interesting details… it was hard to decide which one I liked the most…

so many orchids caught my attention;-)…

decisions, decisions;-)…

then we headed to Myer’s Delicatessen for lunch… yum, our first visit, and we look forward to another…

we were looking for brown sugar and somehow decided to tidy the cupboards, duh…

everything came down, quite a few rather old items were discarded, and the remaining containers went back in…

then we headed to the grocery store and while we were there, found a couple of revolving trays and new spice jars…

once we were done putting groceries away, we added the trays, which of course meant taking all of the containers out again…

it is going to be so much easier to find the item I am looking for now…

then, we got out the label maker, which I am still learning how to use, and made labels as we filled the jars that would fit in the two spice racks…

now we are working on alphabetizing them;-)…

such fun, but we were both exhausted…

been on a decluttering binge… who knew…

started in the computer room closet and found some comforters to give away…

next I sorted the JD Robb books I’ve recently received and put them in order… there are still a few missing, but the collection is nearly complete…

and then I went through the Nora Roberts library to see which ones I could let go, lol…

I really enjoyed the trilogies, so was able to gather a fairly big pile of others to give away;-)…

was picked up by a friend and we headed to the Park Cafe for brunch…

I had seen a new January offering they had, and wanted to try it out…

the place was jumping when we arrived, but we had a great visit while we waited to be seated, which took less than ten minutes;-)…

we both ordered the special – maple pecan stuffed french toast – and hoped it would look as good as the picture, lol… and it did…

aaaaand… it was delicious and we both devoured the whole thing;-)… what a lovely treat…

if you have a chance this month, you should go and check it out…

while I was at The Leaf the other day, I got some great photos of various bulbs…

the amaryllis were beautiful and there were lots of them;-)…

I also spotted a variety I had not seen before…

and then I found this lovely white hyacinth;-)…

wasn’t able to smell it, lol…

I expect that they will all be gone the next time I visit…

got a ride to Ultracuts for a haircut… apparently the last time I was there was early October which explains why my hair seemed to have grown like crazy…

had to have the top trimmed a second time as it was still a bit long;-)…

what a difference a trim makes…

I feel much more tidy;-)…

dishcloths…

I ordered and received a skein of cotton and a fancy crochet hook last week…

since then I’ve tried to make a circle or square without success…

the plan is to make dishcloths for the kitchen, lol…

now I am making straight rows and hoping that will work… the good news is they don’t need to be perfect 🤩…

while talking with someone about the 100 books I read in 2025 (yay me), I discovered there were apps out there to track your reading… who knew🤪…

my method had been to take a photo of the book when I finished it and add it to a Books Read album on my phone… this worked well until I dumped my photos, lol… then I would record the count in a new album and continue adding photos of books as I went along…

I am trying one called Goodreads… this one has many options… you can join groups, accept challenges and review books you’ve read… all I want is a place to record what I’ve read…

so, we will see how it goes…

this week my adventure buddy and I volunteered at MTC a couple of times… both shows were sold out…

it was the first time either of us had done this and we enjoyed the experience… there are around 20 volunteers at each performance and you have the opportunity to choose which of the spots you would like to work at…

there were people from every age and even the littlest kids were mesmerized;-)…

we saw the show from both sides and were pleased because it was so different depending on the side, and who was in front of us, lol…

we were especially lucky to have our own personal driver for both shows…

kind of look like twins;-)…
