big girl pants, delicious, devoured, food, friends, maple pecan stuffed French toast, moments, Park Cafe, Technology, widow

was picked up by a friend and we headed to the Park Cafe for brunch…

I had seen a new January offering they had, and wanted to try it out…

the place was jumping when we arrived, but we had a great visit while we waited to be seated, which took less than ten minutes;-)…

we both ordered the special – maple pecan stuffed french toast – and hoped it would look as good as the picture, lol… and it did…

aaaaand… it was delicious and we both devoured the whole thing;-)… what a lovely treat…

if you have a chance this month, you should go and check it out…

went to Shelmerdine with a friend to pick up some items from a fundraiser she was connected with…

always a treat to wander through all the areas of the greenhouse… even found a little something for someone’s next year’s Christmas present…

this planter was so pretty and the balls were so nice, especially with the snow on them…

when I got home I hung the swag that came from the fundraiser on the front door… not sure if the cord needs to be shorter…

lovely treat;-)…

had a lovely day with my buddies…

we spent time at WAG/Qaumajuq checking out the various galleries;-)… so much to see…

this piece of art was the only one I took a photo of, and apparently a bit crooked, lol…

from there we walked over to the White Star Diner for lunch… fun time and tasty food…

we do love celebrating birthdays😊…

another lovely walk along the Harte Trail on Remembrance Day afternoon…

it felt like -4° Celsius and there was a bit of wind although the sun was shining brightly…

we walked a little bit past the distance we did last time…

we spotted two deer and watched them for a few minutes before they bounced along the ditch beside the path…

we were dressed for the cold and were very comfortable… then this person passed us;-)…

I guess different strokes for different folks…

went for a walk on the Harte Trail section of the Trans Canada Trail with my adventure buddy…

it was quite lovely, other than the puddles from the recent rain, lol…

we may have seen some cedar waxwings, although they were a long way off and high in a tree…

I am looking forward to going back in different seasons to see the changes…

we had a fun time;-)…

went to The Park Cafe and met up with two friends…

we had a lovely breakfast and then a couple of us took a quick walk through the English and Leo Mol Gardens…

it was cool out so we didn’t dawdle… still a few beautiful colours out there…

then I walked across the bridge to where I’d parked the car…

last year, around this time, my housemate decided to redecorate his space…

from removing the fireplace, to drywalling, to putting in new ceiling tiles, to painting the space with two colours, and reorganizing his stuff, he worked hard with help from friends and family…

it came out very nicely…

and he has enjoyed the space…

this fall he has been preparing for an interesting pet…

bacon, big girl pants, blessed, bread, food, friends, lunch, moments, sourdough, tomato, widow

I finally picked up a loaf of sourdough bread today…

when I arrived home I took out a few pieces of bacon from the freezer and microwaved them… I like crisp bacon;-)… when bacon arrives home, two pieces are folded, two of them put into a ziplock bag, and into the freezer so it is easy to get pieces out to use when needed…

it was difficult to cut the bread as it was so fresh, but eventually I managed to get two slices…

then I cut up the gorgeous large tomato that a friend had given me which was perfectly ripe…

finally, a good amount of miracle whip, bacon, tomato, and pink salt between two slices of bread…

oh my… yum…
