Friday, we started our day at Stella’s on Portage, before visiting the Winnipeg Art Gallery…

after avocado toast with poached eggs and hashbrowns, I finished my meal with a haystack (or fiddle diddle), and I even shared, lol… yum…

once at the WAG, we left our jackets in lockers and explored… so much art to see… my favourite was this carving…

we had a snack in the Katita cafe and wandered around the vault…

it was spectacular;-)…

from there we hurried home, grabbed her bag, and dropped her at the airport for her flight home…

what a wonderful way to end our time together;-)…

can’t think of the last time I had a pedicure so it was such a treat to have one on Tuesday afternoon…

surprisingly, my toes got painted purple, lol…

as always, my favourite portion of the experience is the foot and leg massage;-)…

and I am getting much better with having my feet touched, lol…

woke up early, and for whatever reason, decided to look out the front window…

the moon was still up and shining brightly, and at the bottom of the bird feeders I spotted a bunny friend…

it was busy eating the seeds that had blown out of the feeders during all the strong winds over the last day or so…

I stood watching it for quite a while, before heading back to bed… it is very interesting to watch the way they move…

and I love that cute little white tail…

at 6 am, it looked great out the window… when I woke up again at 8, the window was covered with snow and it was blowing like crazy outside…

but my buddy and I went on an adventure anyway, lol…

when I started down the sidewalk I realized how deep the snow was, so backtracked and went down the driveway, which was clear…

as soon as I arrived home, I shovelled the sidewalk… some places were six inches deep…

didn’t do anything else as I assumed it was still going to blow more snow around…

looked good, especially from in the house, lol…

we will see how it looks tomorrow;-)…

had a most wonderful visit with a dear friend who I haven’t seen for ages…

one of those people where the conversation just continues as though you’d seen one another the day before…

lots of talk about plants and gardens and how integral they are for both of us…

health and family also were covered…

and I received a container of delicious date squares…

so blessed to have time with special people…

finally got around to making some red lentil curry…

hadn’t made this recipe for a very long time, so had to follow the recipe so as not to miss anything, particularly as there are many spices in it…

ended up using two pots so that it wouldn’t overflow the pan I started with, lol…

five and a half containers in total…

later…

so, in today’s Canada Post mail, I received a letter from my house insurance company advising that a payment was due on December 14th…

the date on the letter was November 23rd…

I called my insurance company right away and paid the invoice over the phone…

my first question to my agent was whether the house had been uninsured since mid December…

thankfully the house was covered…

I have now entered the date for the next payment to be sure it doesn’t get missed, lol…

had fun with flowers Monday morning…

picked up the bouquet on December 29th when we were out grocery shopping;-)…

as there were already flowers in the living room, the bouquet went into the den…

the living room flowers were done, so I rearranged the newer flowers into three little vases…

playing with flowers makes me so happy;-)…
