yesterday I had delicious snacks and dinner thanks to the kids in Ottawa…

early in the afternoon I started with some Prosecco popcorn, followed by sardines, olives, crackers and a bit of zucchini basil soup I prepared…

my supper consisted of beef bresaola, canned lobster, truffle potato chips and red peppers… it was a play on our usual New Year’s Eve dinner of steak and lobster…

then for dessert there were some delicious star shaped shortbread with a piece of chocolate in my holiday cracker…

of course, I couldn’t get the cracker to snap, as per usual…

throughout the day we chatted off and on and I focused on their time zone so that I could get to bed, lol…

ended the night with some sparkling wine and their voices…

Maui, day twelve…

appetizers, big girl pants, cafe, Easter, helicopter, Lahaina, Maui day twelve, pool, shops, stars, supper, waves, widow

interesting day…

started early with breakfast of hard boiled eggs and mini eggs (from the Easter bunny) before leaving to drive across the island to the airport…

we stopped at the little cafe next to where we are staying to get hot chocolate and tea for the drive… what we received was iced chocolate and black tea without milk and sweetener…

we arrived at the heliport in ample time for our flight and got all the way to the exit door when we were told that the video equipment wasn’t working so we would need to wait while it was repaired… we waited for an hour, finally got into the helicopter… took off and immediately returned to the pad as a light was on that shouldn’t have been… then they cancelled the flight and rebooked us for a few days later, sigh…

we did spend a lovely afternoon in a sister facility to our hotel where we lay by the pool and enjoyed slushy drinks…

we walked along the Main Street in Lahaina and had appetizers at two different places for our supper… at the second one, I dumped my water glass all over the table… our wait person said “sh*t happens”… kind of felt it covered much of the day’s activities, lol…

ended the evening listening to the waves and watching the stars…

have arrived at the kids’ house for Christmas Eve…

took a while to bring in all the goodies and get them under the tree…

then there was gingerbread house decorating… this year I found a house that was already put together… much better…

finally, we ate four million appetizers and soon we will be going to bed…

and hope that Santa finds us…

packed…

appetizers, big girl pants, camping, car, flowers, George, moment, packed

in the car, on the way to the lake…

kind of late but life intervened in our desire to leave earlier,,,

day started out great with the large morning glory having an open blossom on it… not purple this time, but a lovely shade of blue…

  
got a few pictures first thing as I was running around getting the car packed…

as I was leaving for work I had to stop and take a few more pictures of the lovely shadows and sunlight on the plants…

  
took the few extra minutes to enjoy the moment…

over lunch hour helped prepare some appetizers for a shower a colleague was attending this evening…

such fun… every now and then I miss the catering business, lol… much more fun when you are only getting a few things prepped…

drove to my daughter’s new house and had a tour before we ran around and got groceries and did that last minute packing of the car…

not sure we have an extra inch available… of course, George would have had excess available… he was such a great organizer of space…

brought warmer clothes this time… flannel pajamas, heavier jackets and an extra blanket… can you tell I was a bit chilly during the night last time, lol…

looking forward to a campfire…
