big girl pants, birthday, difficult, flowers, lettuce, rose, sadness, umbrella, widow

another early work day… juice had the cutest little umbrella in it…


been thinking of many I know who are dealing with difficult issues right now… health, work, loss… so much sadness…

happy news, today was a colleague’s birthday…


this was the gorgeous rose she received…

seems like flowers everywhere…

tonight I made lettuce wraps with taco meat and grated cheese… I like this type of meal because you have to work to get it eaten… even though it is cold, windy and overcast outside, this was a very nice meal… felt like Spring, at least in the house, lol…

been a full week… glad to have the day off tomorrow…

gardening…

beloved, difficult, fish and chips, gardening, George, supper, tidying

woo hoo… spent some time in the garden today…

20140503-213154.jpgplan was to tidy the back deck… the furniture was all stacked and there was a ton of cedar leaves all over it…

earlier in the day I had seen a couple of huge robins in the garden…

20140503-213516.jpgafter tidying the deck I cleaned up the new flower beds and the raised bed…

20140503-214219.jpgit was cool and a bit windy, but wonderful to be out in the garden… was happy to get so much done…

20140503-215341.jpglooks good…

then I made myself pickerel, oven baked French fries, and pea pods for dinner…

20140503-215546.jpgthought about George as I was working in the garden and making supper… he was always the one who did the hard work in the garden… my job was to keep him on track, lol… and he was always the one who made the French fries… it was more than a year before I was able to make fish and chips, and even now it can be difficult…

I miss my beloved every day…

Lovely Day…

had a lovely day… did a few Saturday chores around the house, and went to get my hair purpled… interesting how some things are fine for me to do and other require the big girl pants… I missed George today because he could always see the purple better than I could, and would let me know how it looked…

fresh for the New Year and Mexico...

fresh for the New Year and Mexico…

started reading a new book and played with the TV a bit…

I am learning to use the PVR, sort of… it was just installed a few weeks ago and when the person showed me how it worked, it all seemed very straightforward, but it seems a bit more difficult now, than it appeared then…

lots of buttons to choose from...

lots of buttons to choose from…

I do love technology, and have been learning a few tricks on how to work it all… I have finally got it so that only the channels I actually have come up in the menu, which is quite lovely…  I have also programmed all the HD channels I have…  we won’t talk about the number of questions that my 12 year old grandson and family have answered lately, lol…

I have PVRed two programs on purpose, and one completely by mistake, and I still haven’t figured out how to stop it from taping that series every time it is on, but I’ll figure it out, sooner or later…

this would have driven George crazy, because he would have left all the channels on the menu and scrolled for ages to get through everything… he would also have fiddled with it until it worked…

a little while ago I had a lovely glass of Harveys Bristol Cream, and poppycock (which my friend made me for Christmas) while reading the book I started at Fazes today… I am reading it using Kobo on my iPhone and it is going very well… for the last while before I changed to the iPhone, I wasn’t able to use Kobo on my Blackberry, so I am very happy about this…

for a few years we didn’t have any alcohol in the house as George wasn’t able to drink due to his heart condition, and sometimes I feel like I am cheating on him when I have a glass of something, but tonight I was able to enjoy the treat, without any guilt…

step in the right direction, I guess…
