last night my daughter arrived from Ottawa… it was wonderful to see her in person…

the flight was early and my grandson picked her up at the airport and brought her home…

there were a number of thoughtful gifts which I will enjoy, including a delicious chocolate bar which reminds me of the amazing fudge that my dad used to make, a ceramic dragonfly, and the cutest little butterfly bowl which I will use to hold my pills…

I am looking forward to our time together over the next few weeks…

an evening in the garden ended with dueling computers… it was nice not to have to call her to discuss the piece of work we were doing, lol…

and then, an early night…

looking forward to many fun activities while she is here;-)…

another good day with my guest…

started it off with a smoothie, cashews, tea and the last of my Calgary bonbons…

had a hot tub and put chairs on the deck in anticipation of warmer weather and more melting snow…

got a new external drive hooked up remotely, and the various computers networked, thanks to my computer geek in Ottawa…

had a bit of a rest while my guest was out for a few hours with a friend…

and then we had dinner with the oldest grandson…

it was delicious…

on our way out for an end of day hot tub;-)…

more fun today…

got to shop right in the office when a client brought in some nighties and pyjamas… she had a lot of purple and mauve, lol…

lovely colours and beautiful work… 

the most important thing for me is the feel of fabric… I have been known to feel an article of clothing on someone else without asking… 

chose a very soft nightie with little purple hearts… it is being shortened for me… seems like my favourite sleepwear is soft like a worn t-shirt but a bit longer… 

then it was off to Nick’s on Broadway…

have heard about this spot before but today was my first visit… been craving grilled cheese so ordered one which came with coleslaw and a pickle… it was okay, but not something I would order again…

great visit with a friend and former colleague… we’ve gone through some very complicated and stressful times together… always a treat to spend time with her…

back at the office had some success with computers and solved a few problems…

a good day…

can I just say that computers can make you crazy…

for three days now I haven’t been able to get to WordPress on my laptop…  now, I have access to the desktop computer, but unfortunately it doesn’t have any of my current pictures on it…

this has given me some lovely time going through older pictures and remembering things that happened, but it also has meant that it has taken much longer to write and post my blogs…

today at work, our scanner and fax wouldn’t work, because apparently MTS flicked a button last night which has caused problems for many, not just us…

the laptop is a whole other problem… I can’t get some sites open, but other sites open perfectly…

so I am heading downstairs to restart the router and see if that fixes the problem…  maybe the computers at work will be happy after a good night’s sleep, lol…
