started the day with a teeny, but delicious, piece of deadly chocolate mousse cake from Baked Expectations…
made homemade lobster macaroni and cheese for dinner… first time I’ve added lobster… it was a lovely addition…
and got this late shot of the sun going down…
wonderful relaxing day…

when we left Winnipeg I was just wearing a t-shirt and pants… had put a jacket in my suitcase… it was a warm and sunny day, finally… the longest part of the process always seems to be the waiting, lol… we kept busy playing games on the flight and watching the view out the window… we were happily surprised to find both of the Ottawa/Kingston children waiting for us…
the Baked Expectations Deadly Chocolate Mousse survived the trip nicely and I was pleased to hand it over;-)… likely someone will be eating that for their breakfast…
when we arrived it was around 1 degree and very chilly… particularly as we headed right to Byward Market from the airport for BeaverTails… which were delicious;-)…
ordered Chinese food for dinner and settled in… great to be here…

activity, Baked Expectations, big girl pants, cake, Captain's Table, Dairy Queen, fire, grandson, ice cream, packing, treat, widow
all kinds of activity today…
a big fire kitty corner from our office… a colleague took the picture with the flames and a few seconds later I took the one with the smoke as they extinguished it…
my grandson picked me up at the office and we went and picked up a few slices of cake to take to my daughter…
treated to fish and chips for dinner and then home to finish the packing…
final treat of the night was a quick trip to Dairy Queen…
now off to bed… going to be a full day tomorrow;-)…

babies, Baked Expectations, big girl pants, birthday, cake, chocolate, family, fun, gift, grandsons, memories, party, snuggles, widow
well this was fun…
two tiny babies turned up at the birthday party today…
I patiently waited my turn and then held this little bundle of snuggles for about an hour;-)… can still put any baby to sleep… it’s a gift… thanks to my son-in-law for taking these pictures as I was busy…
always fun when everyone gathers and it’s time to open presents…
it is different these days… at this age all they want, and get, is money… apparently he is wanting a game system… amazed that there is one they don’t have…
the gift from Aunty and Grandma was money for the big brother to drive all the boys to Baked Expectations for dessert… chocolate cake for breakfast is one of Aunty’s specialties;-)… can’t believe they are so grown up…
he is looking forward to a Paintball party, so really loved his paintball cake…

quiet morning watching Olympics… just as well as I wasn’t feeling too great…
drove to my daughter’s after lunch for the birthday party for the nearly 16 year old…
getting much better at making the drive around the Perimeter… of course, it helps that it was bright and sunny…
beautiful day and we were outside, which was great, because there were a lot of people there, probably around 30…
they were everywhere, visiting and playing… caught a group of friends and cousins playing a water bottle game in the garage… kept them entertained for easily forty-five minutes…
always a high point when the cake comes out… no candles, as requested by the birthday boy, but we did get to sing, lol… he cut the first piece… a tiramisu cake from Baked Expectations…
he looks like a man now, and some say he looks like George…
when I got home I added water to the pond and spotted a baby fish… will have to sit out and see if I can spot more of them…
lovely way to spend a Sunday…

my girl is home for a few days… yay…
we’ve been taking pictures since she arrived…
first ones were of the Deadly Chocolate Mousse cake from Baked Expectations… her favourite… my other daughter had picked it up and delivered it to my office for me… she wiped out but thankfully both she and the cake were fine…
she took quite a few of the Christmas trees and I took a few of her taking pictures, lol…
I also got a few of the beautiful hydrangea arrangement that a dear friend had delivered to the office this morning…
pretty wonderful day for me…
to top off the day we had beef bones from Tony Roma’s, another of her favourites… not exactly the best thing for me, but a treat now and again is fair…
lots of visiting and catching up and now we are heading out for a hot tub… it is wonderful to have the company out there and she loves it as much as I do…
holy days…
