while I was searching for a plant pot in the garage recently, I came across my pond floats…

been wondering where they were, lol…

my beloved found three for me a number of years ago, and the purple one I made when we went to a glass blowing class in Seattle…

they would have looked nice with all the water lilies, but now they are brightening up the pond instead of the flowers;-)…

feels like working to clean up the computer room is a never-ending project…

but…

on Saturday I found my original seashell collection…

I can’t believe it… I came across a box that hadn’t been opened yet and figured it was filled with more papers… and when I took off the lid, this is what I saw;-)…

yikes, not even going to think how long that corner of the room hasn’t been touched…

what a lovely time I had today, unwrapping each one and putting them in the table and credenza…

memories came flooding back as I remembered names of many of the shells as they emerged from the 1998 newspapers they were wrapped in…

going to take out my resource books and do a bit of a refresher, lol…

been laughing for a few days… not long ago I was searching for the box that the Freebird camera came in as we were having trouble reconnecting it to the wifi…

I always keep the boxes of any technology in the Computer Room, even though I get teased about it… so, it was really frustrating when I couldn’t find the box…

so, looked out the window in the den, which I have done every day, and realized the box was under the camera that looks into the garden, lol…

I knew I hadn’t thrown it out…

a week or so ago, I cleaned all of the various bits and pieces off the front of the fridge…

put the container with the 24 magnets on it ready for Advent… my daughter sent them to me years ago… they covered two muffin tins and each held a tiny treat as they were opened daily during Advent…

then I put them away carefully🤪… and I didn’t find them until last year, lol… I am happy to use them this year, especially as I still knew where they were…

I think I might start with the 24th and then count back until Christmas;-)…

guess I better turn the magnets around, lol…

this morning I put up the first one…

I spent the entire day working on a closet that I’ve been ignoring for years…

packed up a number of things; some games and toys going to someone I know who has people in mind; a picture for my grandson, and items to be given away…

I’ve also found a few things which I am going to put online… one is the massage table we covered with glass… I don’t need it and it is silly to keep it underneath a counter, lol…

I’ve done laundry, moved items to different areas, reorganized clothes and thrown items into the garbage… and found a few items that have been lost;-)…

I ordered sushi from one of my favourite places – Tokyo Sushi – which I didn’t know was available through SkipTheDishes… got enough for lunch and supper… it was the only break I took all day… I ordered the sushi pizza which is delicious… haven’t found any place else that makes it this good…

tomorrow I will finish… the closet and the sushi;-)…

so happy to discover my necklace last night…

it is the first of only one hundred pieces which my daughter made recently…

I took it to Maui and when we moved from our first hotel to the Airbnb I thought I put it away, but couldn’t find it… even called the hotel in case it had been turned in to Lost and Found… sadly it had not…

when I got home I searched every nook and cranny during the unpacking… nothing…

felt bad because I was so sure I had packed it, but it just wasn’t there, sigh…

recently mentioned to my daughter that I would need to order another necklace to replace the lost one…

and then… last night I was charging my camera and slid my finger into the little pocket of the Coach bag that holds the charger…

and found it;-)…

yesterday I wandered around the house taking pictures of the flowers that I found…

there were some in the living room…

some on the dining room table…

and finally, some in the bedroom;-)…

that is really what I like to see…

as mentioned many times previously, flowers make me happy;-)…

a colleague advised she had to pick up this magnet for me recently, lol… she also took this shot…

and a close-up of one of the bouquets, that just happened to be purple…
