updated the living room table with items connected to our Big Adventure out West…

a few days ago I picked up an album and put in the 175 pictures I had printed at Staples… this will make it much easier to look at the photos…

we finished our daily favourites book and I also added the purple bag that housed all the items we collected…

now to finish the last bits and pieces, and having everything in the table will act as a great reminder to get this project finished, lol…

Dynacare came to collect blood for my annual physical…

usually, for my A1C, only one vial is collected, but the annual checkup takes three, lol…

I asked what was the maximum number my technician had collected and he said fifteen 😳…

makes me think how lucky I am only having three taken…

also, likely to have a bruise as there was a bit of difficulty getting into the vein although I barely felt anything…

I remind myself often how blessed I am…

Wednesday was a reminder of that as a cleaner was in the house, doing all the things I don’t like to do😬…

when I went into the bathroom I discovered this cute bow on the shower door…

a lovely surprise… and again, a reminder of how fortunate I am…

I did laugh when I went to dry my hands and because I didn’t want to spoil the arrangement, had to find another towel😂…

the current project is about 90% complete, sigh…

today I spent time filling a couple of drawers…

the first one included emptying a shelf in the corner cupboard and moving “paper towels” and kitchen towels into a new drawer… this will make it much easier to find what I need as it had been stacked haphazardly in the cupboard, lol…

now to think about what should go in that empty space🤪…

the second one was great fun as I moved art supplies from a number of places into one space… now to keep it tidy…

fun times. lol…

recently we started bringing the fish into their winter condo…

the first time we did our fishing, it was at night and raining, and we needed flashlights to see… that evening we collected fourteen fish…

after a while in the pail, they made their way into their winter digs…

the next night it was still light as we searched for more fish…

so far we have seventeen fish in the tanks… I think there are probably a few more for us (I mean my housemate) to catch, lol…

we ended our visit at The Leaf…

my daughter wandered around while I worked my volunteer shift…

besides enjoying the biomes she spent time making art;-)…

when my shift was over we enjoyed a meal at Gather and then I drove her to the airport for her flight home…

so happy to have had this time with her🤗…

a picture came up on my photo frame… it was of my daughter and housemate in front of Baked Expectations a few days ago…

she’s been in the city attending a bookbinding workshop…

this picture came up in my memories from Oct. 22, 2025… almost always when she comes home there is deadly chocolate mousse from Baked Expectations…

this trip she had cake when she arrived in the city, but was staying with a friend and was all caked out by the time she arrived here, lol…

she did bring her art supplies with her…

what a wonderful gift to have her here at home for a few days…

went out for a little walkabout in the garden…

so happy to see the plants that are still flowering, no matter the low nighttime temperatures…

I bought three of these in the spring… of course I don’t remember their name, lol… they bloomed strongly for weeks once planted, then just a bit and have recently been blooming like crazy again… there is a possibility that they are perennial… we shall see come spring😊…

this tiny sweet alyssum in the wildflower pot looks very cute, and the sunflowers continue to smile…

apparently wildflowers are sturdy 😊…
