started Thursday morning with a stop at The Butter Tart Lady where we picked up some delicious items… pampushki and sausage rolls…

later we had a lovely wander through Canadian Tire as we had no time constraints… found the cutest hockey tape in rainbow and purple;-)… picked some scrubbies up and then found a new Paderno saucepan to replace one which had started to lose its non-stick coating, and was on sale…

no idea what I will do with the hockey tape, but I’m sure I’ll come up with something, lol…

and the lid from the old saucepan fits on the new pan so will continue to hang on the wall with the pots…. yay…

grandsons…

got to have my grandsons over for dinner…

haven’t seen them for ages, so it was a wonderful treat;-)…

we caught up and they shovelled part of the driveway for me…

the shovelling was a big job as the driveway hasn’t been cleared for months, but it was a beautiful day… and, in the process, the youngest lost his AirPods… in a white container;-(… we spent quite some time digging through all the snow they had moved but did not find them…

we had Chinese food for supper…I’ve been craving it for a while so that made it especially good…

after supper I dug out a set of earbuds from my collection of ones that don’t fit my ears and gave him those… everyone played on their phones for a while as we chatted before they headed home;-)…

they have become lovely young men, although they still bicker like brothers, lol…

shorts…

went to Costco for four things, hahaha…

came home with three of them and just a few other things…

including leggings that I had picked up a while ago, and loved, in a different colour… shorts with side pockets (spring must be coming, right!), two v-neck tops… salad, and maybe a fun snack;-)…

walked to and from the “A” on Sunday morning…

it took a bit longer than usual as it was icy so the walking was a bit treacherous…

but it gave me the opportunity to get a few photos of the beautiful trees…

happy to get outside and enjoy the fresh air…

Tuesday was a very busy and rather exciting day…

around 5:30 vehicles began to arrive with boxes and furniture, as my grandson moved into the basement for the next while… of course, by that time it was snowing and blowing…

the empty space was all of a sudden filled up with stuff again, in a very messy way… yikes…

after all the stuff was brought in, we had pizza and wings to thank the helpers and celebrate the move being completed…

I was happy because I got a heart-shaped one, ate half of it, and saved the rest for lunch the next day…

had a tasty snack on our way to Shelmerdine… haven’t had fresh McDonald’s French fries in I don’t know how long… had a couple of nuggets to go with them, but it was the fries that made my day;-)…

had fun wandering amongst the plants… it was surprising how many varieties of succulents were available…

here’s a photo my friend sent of the two that she picked up and transplanted;-)…

got a few photos of some of their bonsais to share with my grandson…

lovely to spend a bit of time enjoying the greenhouse and I even left without purchasing anything…

when I was searching the internet for a link to their website, I came across this great information on plant care;-)…

fries and gardens… doesn’t get much better than that…

spent a good portion of the day in the kitchen… it smelled lovely the whole time…

pork hocks and cabbage slowly simmered all day long…

then I made garlic mashed potatoes mid day so that they had time to cool before being reheated…

and then it was supper time;-)…

all that simmering worked as the meat was fork tender and delicious;-)…

doughnut…

adventure, aquasize, big girl pants, blessed, coconut cream, doughnut, food, friends, moments, Nanaimo bar, Oh Doughnuts, treat, widow

Thursday’s adventure after aquasize was a trip to Oh Doughnuts…

it was close to the pool and had a buy one, get one sale…

not that I should have had any, but I chose a coconut cream and Nanaimo bar…

ate the entire coconut cream after a very healthy lunch;-)…

on Friday, I cut the Nanaimo bar doughnut and had half with lunch and the final half with dinner…

also got extra steps in after each meal…

they were both very tasty;-)…
