big girl pants, blessed, calendar, Chihuly, daughter, enjoy, flowers, goddess, happy, memories, moments, nature, pictures, remembering, widow

for many years, since my trip to Seattle in 2013, I have had a Chihuly calendar… either my daughter or I have purchased them for Christmas gifts to one another…

this year that didn’t happen, so we were discussing how we missed it the other day…

she suggested that I make one using Vistaprint… I had gone online and found them on the Chihuly Garden and Glass website, but the shipping charge was more than double the cost of the calendar…

so I did… I used the photos from our visit in 2016… it took about an hour to prepare and order…

that was on Monday… on Thursday it arrived;-)… it is beautiful, the photos came out clear and crisp and it is just slightly smaller than the Chihuly ones…

I am very happy…

I had fallen in love with a photo of the garden goddess many years ago that was taken in Montreal… on one of my visits to see the kids in Ottawa, we planned a visit to see it… unfortunately the picture was old and the structure was not in the garden…

in 2015, my daughter sent me information about a goddess structure in Atlanta, and that there was a Chihuly installation happening as well in 2016… I was very excited and so away we went…

it was a special time… I am going to enjoy this calendar…

big girl pants, Cleo, enjoy, hoarfrost, jeans, moon, ring, shopping

the moon last night was spectacular… every time I went past a window I would take a few minutes to admire it… decided to just enjoy it and not even try to take any pictures…

trees were lovely this morning… lots of hoarfrost… was happy to look at them every chance I had on the drive in to work…

left early and had a lovely time shopping at Polo Park… eventually picked a pair of jeans and dropped them off to be hemmed… can’t ever find any pants that don’t have to be taken up…

I mentioned it to the woman who was helping me at Cleo and she gave me a 10% off card for Stitches for the hemming…

stopped at the Peoples Jewellers store to have my wedding band cleaned and had a lovely browse through their rings… saw a pretty amethyst one… my ring is getting loose and I wonder what I will do when it is too big to stay on my finger… should I have it sized or stop wearing it… this will be a big decision…

really wanted to get a pretzel while I was in the mall, but I kept walking… was hard though…

as I left I realized that I had enjoyed my shopping time… all on my own…

those big girl pants fit better more and more often…

big girl pants, Christmas, enjoy, groceries, preparing, presents, shingles, vacine

another great day off…

worked on my list of prep for next weekend, and then Christmas… wrapped the last few parcels… put ribbon on the finished ones and made sure that each person had an ornament on one of their gifts…

then I sorted out which gifts will stay here and be opened on Sunday when we have our Christmas with everyone, and the ones that will go to my daughter’s house for our actual Christmas morning celebration… 

also preparing to stay healthy by getting the shingles vaccine this morning… on my way there saw these two adorable reindeer…

had to stop and take a picture… very cute…

had a triennial medical appointment and picked up a few final items as I prepare for the holidays… think I got the last gift…

  
picked up these little numbers for me…

brought home all the groceries for the week and our Christmas dinner…

  
still on a roll, cleaned out the fridge and put everything away…

then a rest, lol… 

finally tidied everything up… looks lovely and I am feeling much better about what is left to do over the next few days…

was able to enjoy each piece of my day as I worked on my preparations…

beauty around us…

be in the moment, beautiful outside, beauty around us, big girl pants, blanket of snow, critters in the garden, enjoy, snow

this morning it was so beautiful outside and I wanted to take some pictures, but it was too early…

backyard...

backyard…

everything was covered in a lovely blanket of snow… nothing had walked across it in the back yard, although cars had driven down the front street…

when I got home I took a few pictures while it was still light… unfortunately critters had been around and about in the garden…

fun in the snow...

fun in the snow…

not exactly sure what it was that played by the pond, but there are some big marks in the snow back there…

snow on the tree...

snow on the tree…

sometimes we forget to enjoy the beautiful moments when they happen… might be in a hurry, have something on our minds…

I must remember to be in the moment…
