had a delightful afternoon with a dear friend…

she makes decorating for the season so much fun… both of us are team players and we work well together…

we did some of the usual set-ups and then tried something new… we hung a collection of wreaths together on the wall… looks good…

I can’t even say how many collections I have… more and more I am bringing out less and less… I think that January and February might be a good time to go through the boxes and pass many items along to others…

the living room looks lovely and spending time together brought out my holiday spirit;-)…

great time with my boys today…

we went out for lunch, did some shopping, and emptied and refilled the hot tub in under an hour…

that was pretty amazing because usually it takes about five hours to do this… think I will use this process in the future…

found out that the PVRs are broken, which explained why neither I or the guys could get any of them working… set up an appointment for someone to come out and do a repair during the week… missing a number of shows, sigh…

finally, we added a light strip along the staircase… it is going to be a great addition to my Google Home…

much cleaner looking than the twinkle lights were;-)…

ended our time with dinner in, and then they were off to watch the Jets game at home…

I’ve been thinking about life a lot lately having to sort through the finances with my financial planner to make sure that I could actually afford to stop working…

thinking of how different our life would have been if my beloved were still here and we were doing this planning together…

missing him a lot these days…

this time was supposed to be fun for the two of us together, but now it will only be me and a new curve on my journey…

I’m looking forward to it but I sure wish that he was here with me…

beauty is surrounding me… blessed…

first thing in the morning the orchids and hibiscus greet me… it is exciting to see which ones are getting ready to open… wondering how many might open at once…

at the office more orchids are blooming…

more are getting buds;-)…

well, I did it…

sorted out all the information, and there was a lot of it… decided to take the step… and announced my retirement as of the end of the year…

excited and a bit scared… going to be a new path on the journey…

reminds me of all the years I was at home from the time the girls were born until they were in high school…

going to take some time recharging and spending time with family… more opportunities to smell the flowers, lol…

will have time to get caught up on the newest technology, woo hoo…

then thinking of doing some volunteer work around social media and proofreading;-)…

fun times ahead…

wrote more about retirement a few years ago…

those big girl pants, lol…

fun day with my grandsons…

met the three of them for dimsum… we haven’t been for ages so it was a great treat… felt a bit sad that their daddy was working so couldn’t come because he had mentioned it just last week, lol…

from there the youngest and I ran a few errands… we picked up fish food, birdseed and a few groceries… we also found a wreath for the front door;-)…

once we got home we put everything away and then he filled the reindeer Advent calendar with chocolate covered raisins… that was a lot of fun, and every drawer is jam packed…

we made nachos with bacon for supper and watched a few episodes of the Holiday Baking Championship…

his big brother came and picked him up and I am recovering in front of the tv;-)…

the other day I took the lid off the thermos, after the tea had steeped, to take out the tea bag…

I accidentally dropped the lid into the mug, waiting to be filled, that was beside it…

fell right into it and I wasn’t worried…

when I tried to extricate it from the mug it would not release…

I worked away at it for fifteen minutes before it finally came out…

phew…
