two lovely things today…
we went to Canadian Tire for a few things and when we got back to the car, we spotted these two cuties;-)…
reminded me of the two deer that walked down the street on Monday afternoon;-)…
and this was the sky tonight at 9:00 pm…
so exciting to have the light at this time of night….
nice treats…

started Thursday morning with a stop at The Butter Tart Lady where we picked up some delicious items… pampushki and sausage rolls…
later we had a lovely wander through Canadian Tire as we had no time constraints… found the cutest hockey tape in rainbow and purple;-)… picked some scrubbies up and then found a new Paderno saucepan to replace one which had started to lose its non-stick coating, and was on sale…
no idea what I will do with the hockey tape, but I’m sure I’ll come up with something, lol…
and the lid from the old saucepan fits on the new pan so will continue to hang on the wall with the pots…. yay…

big girl pants, blessed, Canadian Tire, eventually, family, grandson, moments, out and about, shopping, Subway, Technology, water shoes, widow
out and about today!
well, I went to Canadian Tire and Subway, lol…
my grandson picked me up and once we were in the store we asked for help finding the water shoes I was looking for… the young man we dealt with didn’t seem to be having a good day… he appeared a bit unfriendly, but eventually did produce the shoes…
then, in another section of the store, the woman helping us was very knowledgeable and friendly and found what I needed quickly;-)…
and the cashier was pleasant, so all in all a good experience… and the store wasn’t crazy busy…
at the sandwich store, the young woman we dealt with was very helpful even though we caused her some confusion with our order, but she figured it out…
we enjoyed our subs when we got home…
a couple of jobs around the house and off he went;-)… then I had a nap😂…

I love my garden furniture… we’ve had it for a long time… all of the chairs recline and I’ve been looking for five or six years to replace them but haven’t found anything that I like near as much…
the cushions have worn down and for nearly four years I’ve been trying to find someone to remake them…
the cost to redo each one was about $250 each… last year I found some fabric but then couldn’t remember how much I needed…
just before I went to Ottawa, Crystal and Jeff found some cushions for me to look at…
I bought this brown one from Canadian Tire before I left…
then they spotted one they thought might work from IKEA… sadly their colours weren’t what I wanted…
yesterday we went to Target and I picked up some green ones which I think will work fine…
the original ones were one piece, but these are separate, and I think they will be good…
now I have to decide if I want two of each or whether to take one back and get three more sets so they are all the same…
what do you think?

callas, Canadian Tire, chores, Costco, dinner, homemade caramel sauce, not so quiet, Safeway, seaweed salad, Shelmerdine, truffle oil
well, was planning on staying home and not doing much today, but that didn’t happen…
did a few chores around the house between TV shows and had a nap in the morning…
callas…
then got a call from my sister-in-law, who was in town for the weekend from Calgary, and we visited Shelmerdine, Canadian Tire, Costco, Safeway and then to my nephew’s house for barbecued steak dinner… it was wonderful to wander through Shelmerdine and see, smell and touch all the gorgeous plants…
steak, roasted potatoes with truffle oil and seaweed salad…
not gonna lie, the seaweed salad wouldn’t be my top choice… we did finish dinner off with homemade banana bread covered with caramel sauce… yum…
the end of the homemade caramel sauce…
I just got home and finally called my son-in-law in BC to wish him a happy anniversary… I spoke with Cyndi fairly early this morning, but with all the running around didn’t get to speak with him until now… looking forward to seeing both of them very soon…
heading to bed, not even sure I will have a hot tub tonight…
hopefully tomorrow will be a bit quieter, and warmer, although if there hadn’t been any wind today it would have been quite warm…
