had lunch with my buddies on Monday to celebrate a couple of birthdays…

ordered from Spice Circle the day before and we picked it up… we always need to check because many restaurants are closed on Mondays, which we have learned the hard way, lol…

we had a variety of items and found the food hot and tasty… my goat thali was very nice… the one thing I might change was the packaging as it didn’t all fit into one container…

but there were leftovers for another meal for everyone;-)…

snowblows…

Friday is garbage and recycling day and I usually only take mine out every three or four weeks…

Thursdays are the day to take them out and put them into the lane… I am blessed because my neighbour snowblows behind his garage so there is a spot to put them…

I find that I only need to take one or the other out, which is good because there isn’t always room for both, lol… this time it was the garbage, and I should have shovelled the snow on the path, but didn’t;-)…

now to remember to bring it in later on Friday…

gnocchi…

had a good time at aquasize and then we took a drive to DeLuca’s…

I got spinach wraps, gnocchi, canned tomatoes and two different types of bread…

apparently I am still craving bread, lol… now I just need to learn how to cook the gnocchi…

once home I made two little peanut butter and banana sandwiches for my lunch…

they were very tasty…

ordered a light strip to replace the pot lights that have stopped working under the kitchen counter…

took a while to arrive and then I needed to read the directions a few times before installing it…

had to move the microwave and it took some effort but eventually I got the old lights removed…

then it took another while to figure out how to connect the app I downloaded and get the light to work…

and at that point I discovered that the new light strip didn’t provide enough light, sigh…

now to decide on next steps…

stairs…

spent Tuesday putting away the little trees…

now the stairs look a bit naked…

the front trees are put away but that space looks filled with the plants that returned from the den…

I’ve been trying to add a new tree to the collection most years, but didn’t manage it this year… maybe next year;-)…

Audubon…

January first was new calendar day…

for many years we have had Chihuly calendars… either my daughter or I would get two and give one to the other person;-)…

one year I even made one filled with photos from our trip to see his installation in Atlanta…

this year I changed it up…

I found an Audubon calendar online that shows a different bird each day… ordered two and sent one off with the other Christmas presents…

took down the old one and put up the new one…

I think I will learn a bit and maybe it will even help me with bird identification in the garden…

cheers…

Sunday we opened gifts over the internet, lol…

we always like to cheers together and being 1330 miles apart doesn’t stop us although it took a bit of direction from the kids for me to get my mug in the right spot, lol…

there were lots of treats and great minds thinking alike as we all opened Chapters/Indigo cards…

technology has made such a difference in our lives…

what a treat;-)…

my dad insisted on turnip water to make the gravy… felt it added just the right flavour… so I cook turnips for every holiday meal, lol… and I’ve also passed along the need for this important ingredient to others;-)…

of course when I ordered the turnip I got two good sized ones, lol…

happily I was able to give one to a friend…

I peeled and cut up the other one and after boiling it, saved the water for gravy, and mashed it up…

had a bowlful and put some away to go with Sunday’s dinner;-)…

fabulous…

had a busy day yesterday… makes me laugh, because usually my days are quietly spent at home reading and watching tv…

started with our aquasize class in the morning… even though it was very cold outside… lots of fun as the session was filled with holiday music that many sang along to…

from there we were off for lunch at the Falafel Place… perfect timing as most people were nearly done as we arrived… had falafel with hummus and salad… it was yummy…

home to spend time listening to Christmas music and reading…

then, a dear friend came by with fish and chips for our dinner… and brought Christmas presents;-)…

I was so excited to spend time with them that I completely forgot to take a photo of my meal, lol…

after we finished our dinner we had cookies and a wonderful visit…

I am so blessed with fabulous friends 🥹…
