adapt, appointment, big girl pants, breakfast, buddy, English Garden, friend, geese, halloween, honking, insurance, Leo Mol Garden, neighbours, widow

this morning I started my day at the clinic doing bloodwork before my next appointment…

on my way back to the car I kept having to stop and watch the geese flying overhead… I cannot keep from looking up when I hear them honking…

then I met up with my walking buddy… we had breakfast at The Park Cafe, and noticed that all the geese that usually spend time in the pond were off filling up somewhere else, lol… afterward we wandered through the English and Leo Mol Gardens which are rather sad just now but it was great to be outside…

I dropped her off and we checked out her newly renovated garden… as I was leaving I got this pic of a neighbour’s Halloween decorations;-)…

when I arrived home, had a lovely visit with one of my neighbours… haven’t been outside at the same time for ages so it was great to catch-up… they usually spend a few months at their property in Arizona but with health issues they can’t get insurance so will be selling… they do have a winterized cottage just outside the city, so will spend time there…

seems like we have to adapt quite a bit as we get older…

adapt, band, big girl pants, daughter, festival, grandson, mussels, The Met

had a lovely day focused on family…

met my daughter for lunch at The MET… first time she’s been there… beautiful architecture, but also light and airy…

  
I beat her there and had a cup of tea while I waited…

we both had fresh mussels and frites… I asked that they leave the cheese off  mine… delicious… ate every single bit… 

I ordered the mixed salad for us to share but ran out of time so brought my portion back to the office and gobbled it up around four…

after work I walked to her office and we went over to the RBC Convention Centre where my grandson was meeting us with his other grandparents… then we watched his band play in the Optimist Clubs of Winnipeg International Band Festival…

  
they did a great job and the adjudicator/ conductor had fun as he shared a few ideas with them… it was amazing to watch and hear them adapt and improve with his conducting and stories… his final comment was you are a very good ensemble and if you work on each note on the page you will be amazing…

lots of adapting today as I hadn’t even heard about the band festival until lunchtime… happy to have the salad to eat before I headed out… important that I eat at appropriate times now…

reorganized my schedule and had a great time… those big girl pants, lol…
