had a lovely day yesterday…

started with an early morning hot tub as the sun shone… then had pie for breakfast…

there were phone calls, text messages, visits, it was great and a DQ blizzard miraculously appeared;-)…

I spent time reading, napping, and watching a few programs…

we had steak and lobster for supper and I didn’t even have to clean up;-)…

my kids gave me another subscription for eight bouquets this summer… I loved the ones last summer… and this afternoon flowers arrived to brighten the dull day…

all in all, a pretty fine few days…

birthday week’s are fun;-)…

as the birthday week celebrations continue, today I gathered with my BS buddies and they brought the birthday bag, a beautiful card, and cherry pie…

we have used the birthday bag for maybe twenty years… found this old photo from 2014 that has the bag in it, lol…

it used to hold a gift, but at this point in our lives we really don’t need anything, so now it contains a card…

this one was a beautiful painting by one of our group… it is a park bench and represents the bench that my beloved and I would sit on in the Leo Mol Garden during our walks…

happy birthday was sung and we had cherry pie with whipped cream… sooooo delicious;-)…

lots of conversation, laughs, and good eats…

now to be sure I don’t lose the bag before it is needed for the next birthday…

unique…

went to PTE with my theatre buddy and another friend to see Space Girl…

the show was terrific and the set was quite unique… there was a great deal of technology used, which made it even more fun…

ordered a water and paid using technology for the payment system as well…

amazing how this type of technology has improved over the last few years… seems like it is everywhere now;-)…

recently a friend messaged me asking if I might take some of their fish… they were looking for homes for three goldfish and a koi as they are going to focus on guppies and tetras…

I thought about it and agreed to take the goldfish, but not the koi… they have different requirements and also grow very large…

they started to look for a place that would take the koi and eventually were able to find a home for it and the largest goldfish at a city college which has a number of ponds…

they brought the two remaining goldfish over on Friday…



they have now joined the fish in the large tank and seem quite happy…

I think they will enjoy the pond when they get to move out there;-)…

Tuesday was a very busy and rather exciting day…

around 5:30 vehicles began to arrive with boxes and furniture, as my grandson moved into the basement for the next while… of course, by that time it was snowing and blowing…

the empty space was all of a sudden filled up with stuff again, in a very messy way… yikes…

after all the stuff was brought in, we had pizza and wings to thank the helpers and celebrate the move being completed…

I was happy because I got a heart-shaped one, ate half of it, and saved the rest for lunch the next day…

had a great visit with my BS friends…

there were candy hearts, chocolates, nuts, and cards… oh yes, and coffee…

one of us is away and joined via FaceTime…

she is mixed in amongst the orchids, lol…

remember to let someone know you love them today and every day🥰…

had a tasty snack on our way to Shelmerdine… haven’t had fresh McDonald’s French fries in I don’t know how long… had a couple of nuggets to go with them, but it was the fries that made my day;-)…

had fun wandering amongst the plants… it was surprising how many varieties of succulents were available…

here’s a photo my friend sent of the two that she picked up and transplanted;-)…

got a few photos of some of their bonsais to share with my grandson…

lovely to spend a bit of time enjoying the greenhouse and I even left without purchasing anything…

when I was searching the internet for a link to their website, I came across this great information on plant care;-)…

fries and gardens… doesn’t get much better than that…

doughnut…

Thursday’s adventure after aquasize was a trip to Oh Doughnuts…

it was close to the pool and had a buy one, get one sale…

not that I should have had any, but I chose a coconut cream and Nanaimo bar…

ate the entire coconut cream after a very healthy lunch;-)…

on Friday, I cut the Nanaimo bar doughnut and had half with lunch and the final half with dinner…

also got extra steps in after each meal…

they were both very tasty;-)…

had lunch with my buddies on Monday to celebrate a couple of birthdays…

ordered from Spice Circle the day before and we picked it up… we always need to check because many restaurants are closed on Mondays, which we have learned the hard way, lol…

we had a variety of items and found the food hot and tasty… my goat thali was very nice… the one thing I might change was the packaging as it didn’t all fit into one container…

but there were leftovers for another meal for everyone;-)…

endings…

been thinking of those in my circle who are struggling… sometimes it is hard to remember that not everyone finds joy at this time of year…

holidays are often a time filled with grief and pain for many… and often it comes out of the blue…

maybe the rush to get everything done and perfect adds to the stress that then can bring on ill health or sad memories…

as one year is ending and another beginning let’s all sit in the moments and enjoy as many as we can;-)…

blessings to all…
