had the best time watching the videos we took when we were in Maui…
gave the card, from the GoPro we rented, to my daughter when we came home and just got my copy when I was in Ottawa…
spent quite some time trying to get photos from the videos and eventually found the option to save a single frame as a picture;-)… that was entertaining…
the smile on my face says it all… snorkelling was such fun and being in the giant aquarium with the fish and turtles was amazing;-)…
such a lovely reminder of the wonderful time we had in and under the water…
also, there were photos that my daughter took of me on the stand-up paddle board…
need to spend a bit more time working on balance…
such wonderful memories;-)…

had a lovely time while I was still at my daughter’s sorting and taking photos of my Christmas gifts…
I absolutely love my soft purple blanket, and was happy to examine all of the other wonderful treats I received…
a few purple items, lol – socks, facecloths, gloves, tins, toothbrush, reusable sponge, phone holder… and quite a variety of chocolate – pistachio, Lindt, turtles, raspberry (my favourite), chocolate covered sponge… a tea and chocolate pairing that was flavoured with orchids, reusable bags, a Chihuly 2020 calendar, colouring books and pencils, a magazine on gratitude, a hand printed towel… plus a few more I can’t even remember…
yikes, so many gifts… I certainly am blessed…
the sun was shining into the room as I was gathering them for the photo… it was very meditative and I was able to reflect on each gift and the person who gave it to me… and the fun we had as we opened and shared our delight over each parcel…
a wonderful way to extend the joy of Christmas morning…
now that I’m home, I’ve found a spot for each one…
as I use each item I will be sure to spend a moment to remember the giver with gratitude in my heart…

what an eventful day yesterday was…
in the morning my daughter and I headed to Bulk Barn for bird seed and then on to Mer Bleue where it was way too slippery for a walk but we spent a lovely time feeding the birds from our hands… such fun;-)…
chickadees came and went from the surrounding trees… we saw blue jays, two types of woodpeckers, a nuthatch and maybe a partridge…
it was great fun… my daughter took the picture of the chickadee looking at me, lol…
then we picked up my son-in-law and his mom and went to the Canadian Museum of Nature where we saw exhibits about the arctic, the earth and Canadian birds… and we spent some quality time in the butterfly exhibit…
here are a few of my favourite photos…
birds AND butterflies…
finished the day off with a BeaverTail;-)…
those were for sharing, I only had half of one;-)…

it was beautiful inside and out…
currently the temperature outside feels like -11C at 6 pm…pretty darn warm;-)…
saw the most stunning sky to welcome the Winter Solstice early this morning…
had breakfast with my grandson, prepared potatoes for tomorrow’s dinner, made stuffing and had a wonderful visit with a dear young woman…
I also got all of my Smart pieces of technology working correctly;-)… did laundry and brought up the suitcase…
I’ve watched some horse jumping and almost had a nap…
sounds crazy busy, but there were lots of breaks sitting in front of the tree listening to Christmas music…
blessed;-)…

last Friday I was presented with a lovely bouquet of flowers by our Board…
I have been taking pictures of them ever since… so happy to have my camera back to do so…
today I trimmed the stems and put the flowers into a different vase…
flowers make me happy and taking pictures of them is very relaxing…

yesterday there was fresh fluffy snow covering the ground… it also dusted the wreath at the front door…
the sidewalk always looks so beautiful under a fresh snowfall… more so if you don’t need to walk out there…
this morning the icicles were shining in the sunlight as I left the house and then a bit later I spotted this deer as I was out and about…
the sun shining all day was a wonderful bonus;-)…

my camera fell off a table at work at the beginning of November…
the viewfinder popped off… this camera doesn’t have the old-fashioned type of viewfinder, only the electronic version…
I tried to stick it back on, but the screen remained black… can’t really take photos when you can’t see what is in the viewer… was so upset that I didn’t even get a shot of the before, lol…
called the photo store only to discover I purchased the camera last September… so, no warranty, sigh…
then I called the camera hospital and sent it over by courier so that it could get repaired before the holiday season…
it has been a long time, but this morning it returned to the office… put my memory card back in and took a few photos right away…
so happy to have it back… I enjoy my iPhone camera but have really missed this one…

my friends often tell me that my oldest grandson looks like my beloved… but I don’t see it…
recently my daughter sent me a photo she came across… it was in an album that belonged to her grandmother, my beloved’a mom…
when I first looked at it I wondered where she’d got the picture of my grandson, lol…
then I realized it was my beloved…
a photo from high school, so over fifty years old, but it is still in good shape… and a similar age to my grandson now…
here is a photo from my grandson’s grade twelve graduation…
they do look alike;-)…
I see it!!!
