Monday was another delightful day at The Leaf…

our group went to view the Fleurs de Villes display after our birthday lunch at Gather…

as always, a walk through the Tropical Biome is rejuvenating…

we had such fun as each of us shared different points of interest as we wandered through the lush vegetation…

we visited the cacao trees, saw coffee beans, enjoyed new vistas of the fish, chatted about the banyan tree, spotted many heliconias, and got dripped on a few times, lol…

we moved on to the Mediterranean Biome for the Fleurs de Villes exhibition…

all of the mannequins (that represent the arts in the city) were very nicely done… we met two of the designers and spotted things we liked at every display… it was amazing to see the details that had been included…

after we’d been around once, most of us went around one more time, as we each made a decision on our favourite and filled out the ballot which we received as we entered the space…

the Fleurs de Villes exhibition is always stunning and such a delight to have had here two years in a row;-)…

one more visit to the exhibition in a few days…

later…

Wednesday I spent time in the computer room…

usually I take time at least once a month to tidy the space…

the desktop gets a bit messy as I am very good at bringing things up, but often leave them on the desk without putting them away properly, lol…

it looks so nice when it is tidied up…

my next project will start shortly as I begin sorting and organizing tax documents to send off to the accounting folks;-)… at that point there may be quite a few pieces of paper all over the place…

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…

comforters…

I’ve been looking at comforters for the last while and decided to order one for a January treat, but waited in case I got one for Christmas…

it arrived a few days ago in a tiny package which happily swelled up considerably when the plastic was removed…

once everything was laundered it was put on the bed…

I am very happy with how it looks;-)…

stress-free…

had a lovely time on Sunday getting ready for a Christmas gathering with my friends on Monday…

dug out a snowflake tablecloth and discovered some stains on it so soaked, washed, and dried it before placing it on the table…

then I brought down Christmas plates to put on the table…

snowflake napkins and silverware, along with chopsticks finished the setup…

a bouquet of red and white flowers went into a low vase to finish off the display;-)…

we met on Monday and had a delicious lunch via Skip the Dishes… such a great way to share a meal together stress–free for everyone, lol…

before we ate, we took our annual Christmas photo, once I remembered which particular button to press on the camera, lol…

once we’d eaten, we moved to the living room to open our gifts to one another… always great fun and thoughtful presents…

such a special group of women…

poinsettias…

made it to the most recent display at The Leaf…

we went around 7 so it was fairly dark in the Tropical Biome… a great time to go as there weren’t many visitors…

there were a few lit up flamingo topiaries and throughout the space there were lit signs about various birds…

there was also a cute Christmas tree made from individual plants…

the display in the Mediterranean Biome had lots of trees, lights, and poinsettias…

I also spotted a few amaryllis… some just starting to open, others in full bloom…

the trees were filled with ornamental birds and some birdhouses…

only spotted one of the seven succulent wreaths…

my plan is to go again in the daytime to see how it looks in the light;-)…

always a treat…

had to laugh when the first Canada Post mail that I received after the strike was from Bell/MTS, you know, the company I had been a loyal customer to for fifty years…

I called them to make sure I didn’t owe any money…

it took the representative quite a while to figure out that I didn’t owe them anything and they had received the equipment which I mailed back to them…

it was a bit funny that I had a terrible time hearing her as she kept fading in and out, lol…

I did not provide my email address to them as I don’t need any requests to return to them…

big girl pants, blessed, moments, remotes, right-handed, Shaw, Technology, tv, widow

we’ve had Shaw since the middle of September and I am slowly getting used to it…

one of the things I’ve noticed is how stiff all the buttons are on the remotes…

the one I use in the bedroom is stiff but works fine…

the one in the den appears to be made for a right-handed person…

no matter what I do it only turns on when I use my right hand, and even then, it doesn’t always work…

kind of frustrating;-(…
