this morning, I dragged the hose up from the basement, out through the backdoor, and into the tub…
last night I had a great time in the hot tub, but had to scrunch down as the water was rather low…
only took about ten minutes to fill it up… now we will see if it gets up to temp by tonight;-)…

today was filled with activity…
started the day with a few pictures of my orchid…
then I prepped potatoes, turnip, stuffing for Christmas dinner and prepared twice stuffed potatoes for tonight’s supper…
it had snowed more overnight and in the morning… there was a lot of snow out there…
the kids arrived and we ran around getting a few last minute items… there were many, many people in all the places we went… particularly the parking lots…
home, dinner cooked, eaten and a bit of relaxing before everyone headed home…
last picture of the orchid…

today the hot tub got fixed… I am so happy…
this afternoon I was able to go out and attach the hose to drain it… this process takes about three hours…
managed to do this without kneeling down, which was great because my knee is still sore…
process was a bit dicey because I didn’t want water to freeze in the tub and wreck it…
my son-in-law stopped in on his way home from work…
he moved the hot tub out from the wall, had to remove one of the panels, was able to fix a broken fastener and finally screw the replacement arm in place…
he pushed it back up against the wall and I started to fill it… amazingly it didn’t even take an hour to fill up…
sometimes the pump doesn’t start as easily as it should, but today it got going perfectly… now it is heating…
because it is plugged into a regular output it takes quite a while to heat up… likely won’t be at the correct temperature for a few days…
looking forward to getting into it soon;-)…

flowers, flowers, everywhere…
had roses delivered to the office this morning for the staff members who were away on Valentine’s Day… had to laugh because they were nicer than the ones we had… these ones came with greenery and glitter, lol…
and shortly after that our Manitoba Lung Association fundraiser tulips were delivered… the office was filled with beauty…
every day the sky is filled with light which lasts longer and is brighter, and to have flowers on top of that just makes me happy…

view out the window during our BS gathering tonight… was compelled to get up and take a few pictures of the sky…
had a wonderful time… the five of us haven’t all been together for a couple of months… there have been vacations to California, Florida, Costa Rica, the West Coast and Cuba, work trips to Saskatchewan, and family visits which have affected us…
we have been gathering for many years and continue to enjoy every opportunity we have to spend time together…
tonight we must have spent an hour trying to find a day and time for a birthday celebration… we may have to start having one for everyone at once as we are all so busy…
always feel filled up at the end of Monday evenings…
what a gift these women are to me…
