big girl pants, friend, kids, motion, nest, remind, smoke detector, son-in-law, switch, thermostat, widow

every time my son-in-law is here at Christmas I ask him about putting in the type of switch that they have in their bathroom…

it is a motion sensitive switch which comes on automatically when you walk into the room… it is very cool and I keep thinking how great it would be to have something like that here… he reminds me each time that the switch needs to be inside the bathroom and mine is on the wall outside…

I guess I want it enough that I conveniently forget that I can’t have it, lol…

after Christmas he installed my Nest smoke detector which was a gift from the other kids… he also put in a Nest thermostat…

I am slowly getting used to both of them…

the smoke detector has a feature where it lights up in the dark if there is any motion, so it is starting to feel like a friend when I need to get up and go downstairs in the night…

weird…

early this morning I took a few pictures of the moondogs… they were very cool…

there seemed to be a lot of eating for the remainder of the day, lol…

had Eggs Benedict for breakfast… a liver cleansing vegetable soup at lunch… red curry lentils over rice for supper… ended the meal with a homemade chocolate chip cookie that a friend recently brought me…

also very happy with the February picture on my Chihuly calendar… reminds me of the Citron Tree at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens;-)… that was a once-in-a-lifetime trip…

excellent day…

big girl pants, camera, display, early, eclipse, happy, moon, photos, widow

got up at six am as I was heading into the office early with a colleague as we were carpooling…

hadn’t planned to get up early to watch the eclipse because it was supposed to be overcast…

when I looked out the window I was so excited to actually see the moon in the midst of the eclipse…

got out my camera and tripod and took a few pictures…

between taking photos and making my lunch I sat and watched the beautiful display out my front window…

what a glorious start to the day…

no spectacular shots but I did have lots of fun…

mints…

big girl pants, mints, options, pay, Russian Mints, Save-On-Foods, widow

recently I picked up some Morden’s Russian Mints when I was shopping at Save-On-Foods…

once I got it to the car I realized that the box had slipped down the side of the cart and hadn’t been paid for…

I was on a tight schedule and didn’t have time to go back in and pay… my plan was to pay for them the next time I was in the store…

have had a few conversations with others recently about what they might would do in the same circumstances…

quite a few opinions… many felt they would just keep the item… I was a bit surprised because there is no way I could keep and/or use something that I hadn’t paid for… others who have the same idea as me talked about how the staff in the store would look at them like they were out of their mind… too funny…

today I went in and paid for the chocolates… I feel so much better;-)…

the sun shone all day even though it was fairly cold, which I discovered when I ran out to do an errand just after lunch…

the light really perks up my spirit…

this afternoon I got a few shots of a lovely bouquet in the office…

when I arrived home the moon was hanging right over the garage as I drove in…

tomorrow night into the early morning there is going to be a spectacular lunar display – a super moon, a blood moon and an eclipse… try to have a look when it is happening if you can… hoping for clear skies;-)…

just a few minutes later I caught this sky in the opposite direction…

lovely to have the moments to catch and enjoy the beauty around me…

beauty, beloved, big girl pants, pristine, shovel, snow, widow

I did not leave the house today…

early in the day I took a few photos of the beauty in the backyard… the sun shone on the snow and the critters hadn’t made any paths through the white… even the garage roof was pristine…

it is always lovely to admire the snow when there isn’t a need to go out in it, lol…

out the front there were diamonds glittering everywhere… could barely see where the front sidewalk should be…

when the kids came for dinner my shoveler got to work and cleaned everything up…

there was a fair bit of snow, but it was light and fluffy… although it was cold, it didn’t take him too long to get is done… he has improved so much since he started doing the job… my beloved, who was very particular, would be proud of him…

won’t have any trouble getting out for work tomorrow…

away, big girl pants, Come From Away, friends, fun, manicure, moments, pedicure, purple, snowfall, widow

woke up to snow falling… a fair bit came down through the night and it looked beautiful…

as I drove away I realized how big the drifts were…

after lunch I met a young friend at Total Wrapture and we had pedicures… then I decided to have a French manicure and in the end agreed to a shellac one… first time for that, so I will see how long it lasts…

home for a rest and quick supper and then off to see Come From Away with my buddy…

that’s her in the row in front of me and 3 seats over… I am calmly sitting here in the balcony ready for the show to begin, but it will be odd not to be able to chat with her throughout the play;-(… not too fond of heights so we got here in plenty of time to get into our seats while the lights were still on, lol…

wonderful show;-)…

tonight I had a piece of Decadence chocolate with strawberries and blueberries with one of the last shortbread cookies that a dear friend gave me at Christmas…

she recently lost her mom and I have been thinking of her over the last few days so it was nice to remember her as I ate the snack…

many in my circle are struggling with health and family difficulties… it is good to spend a bit of time thinking of them and sending healing vibes through the air…

life is unpredictable and it’s good to make the most of every moment… today I had the opportunity to connect with a few wonderful women who I haven’t seen for a while… what a gift…

I truly am blessed…
