anticipated a quiet day… no plans to go out or anyone coming over… I would watch the Remembrance Day service on Parliament Hill and read and watch tv…

woke up to blue sky out the window… haven’t had much of that recently, so it was a great treat…

I did a few little jobs around the house and settled in to watch the service…

received a message that someone was going to drop off some chocolate within the hour, so I responded saying as long as it wasn’t while the service was on…

then my son-in-law called and said he was on the way over for tea… he and the youngest arrived just as the moment of silence was taking place…

we watched together and a few minutes later there was a loud noise coming from the driveway… the person who is going to clear my snow had come over and was blowing the little bit of snow on the ground with a strong leaf blower… I wrote out cheques while we were watching the tv and then waited for him to knock on the door… eventually I realized he had left…

about then the kids left…

didn’t really get to watch much of the ceremony, lol…

decided not to nap in case either the snow blower person or the chocolate person turned up…

the snow clearing person arrived a bit later and I gave him the cheques…

wasn’t until I was making supper that the chocolate person arrived…

much busier day than expected…

closing…

up very early to watch the Closing Ceremony of the Olympics and then I went back to sleep for a while;-)…

when I finally got up the sun was shining and I took a few fun pictures… the reflection on the water lily installation, the glittering snow, and when we arrived back home, the interesting cloud formation…

this afternoon I met the kids at The Forks and we went for a walk along the River Trail to check out some of the warming huts… they are all interesting architecturally, but warming might be a stretch to describe them, lol…

here are some pictures that I took…

here are some great shots from my daughter…

home for supper and now watching the rerun of the Closing Ceremony… possibly I slept through some of it this morning…
