later…

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…
