beloved, big girl pants, early, garden, groceries, hockey, money

busy day… up fairly early because the birds were singing away before dawn… had a few tough moments missing my beloved… amazing how those moments just materialize and you have to wait them out…

went to Dollarama looking for a small drinking glass but they didn’t have any… I did find a cute tray… looks a bit like the dining room chairs, lol…  on to the grocery store where I loaded up on veggies and some tulips jumped into my cart…  grocery shopping is getting more expensive, but I have tons of healthy food for the next week or so… once everything was put away, had a nap and lunch… 

sat in the garden reading for a few hours and then the kids arrived for dinner… steak and lobster with baked potato, mushrooms. asparagus and Caesar salad… yummy… 

doorbell rang and a fellow was wanting to do some yard work to raise money for his hockey playing son…  while we finished cleaning up the kitchen, he and his family cleaned out the front flower bed and raked the front yard…

ran out to take a picture of the finished product and caught the mallards, who live in our creek, as they flew over…  excellent day…

learnings…

started the day early with the sun rising as I headed out to the first event of the day…

20140515-223118.jpgI arrived home as the street lights were just coming on…

was talking with someone about all the learning that took place following George’s death and how it felt important to share some of those with others who may be going through a similar experience… heard very familiar examples of struggles that others have gone through…

learned some great ways to speak up this morning, and this evening was amazed at the bravery and strength of women entrepreneurs…

Cancun airport, early, finding gate, headed home, Johnny Rockets, limo, no water, SunWing, waiting

happy to get back to work today…

was sharing with one of my colleagues about our trip home…

it started out with our being at the main lobby of the resort waiting for our bus at 6:40 instead of 7:20 am…  so we got to sit around a visit a bit…  once we got to the airport, we had a problem with the airline person not understanding what we were checking for the flight and what was carry-on… then we breezed through security and had breakfast at Johnny Rockets… it was about this point that we discovered that there was no water in any of the washrooms in the airport… our flight wasn’t for another couple of hours…

waiting, for a place to sit, washrooms and the correct gate...

waiting, for a place to sit, washrooms and the correct gate…

we had been directed to one gate, but after waiting there for quite a while discovered it wasn’t the correct one, so after speaking with SunWing staff at another gate, moved to a third gate and eventually that was the one we left from… we were really glad to get on that plane, which was late…

when we arrived in Winnipeg we were very happy, and again went through Customs with no problem, found our limo and headed home…

all pretty humorous now, lol…
