great day…

slept in and watched some tv…

picked up by a friend and we went out for lunch at Pho Hoang… shared some tofu spring rolls and I had seafood chow mein…

great catch-up and delicious lunch… we giggled because we both tried something other than our usual menu choices…

from there we headed to PTE and saw Mom’s the Word: Nest 1/2 Empty…

it was sooooo funny… we laughed all the way through it… brought home 2 delicious homemade gingerbread bars after I ate a tasty fancy almond covered cookie that had homemade jam in it… cannot remember the exact name of either of them, lol…

walked from Portage without any gloves… didn’t realize that they weren’t in my pocket… good thing it was quite warm, lol… and then found them on the sofa;-)…

time with friends… had a wonderful afternoon with a very crafty group of women…

there was knitting, colouring, collage-ing, crocheting, eating, drinking, and lots of conversation…

my project…

it is going to be a blanket for my bed… I worked on it while I was there and when I got home…

this morning as I was crocheting away I realized that it was way too long, sigh… would have been great for someone seven feet tall, lol…

so I unraveled it and started over…

this time it will be about four feet wide which should work nicely on the bed…

back to crocheting;-)…

yesterday a couple of fun things happened…

I took a picture of my The Chocolate Lab bonbon in front of the purple dragonfly on the Christmas tree…

not that big a deal, except that a picture of me opening that ornament from its box in 2013 on day 23 of Advent came up in my Facebook feed just a little while later;-)…

and then to top that, I decided to put on a pair of fuzzy socks as the floor was a bit chilly… I don’t usually wear them, but had an urge this morning…

these were from last year’s day 23;-)…

and look what else came up in my feed, lol…

tonight after supper we decorated some gingerbread cookies that we’d picked up a few weeks ago at IKEA…

everyone took part… lots of focus and luckily the icing I picked up today worked perfectly…

then we ate them and they were delicious;-)…

we are going to put together the gingerbread house and decorate it on Christmas Eve as we need royal icing to glue it……

on the weekend I had a bit of fun as I redesigned the drawer in the living room table…

in the summer I usually fill it with sea shells and rocks…

in the fall I’ve used scarves or photographs…

for the holiday season there have been a few versions of Christmas ornaments… one year silver and blue and purple… another year there were red balls too…

this year I used silver, blue and purple and included some framed pictures of family and friends…

kind of enjoy thinking up new ways to fill it…

and it looks lovely… now to figure out the rest of the Christmas decorations…

this year I am hoping to do some serious decluttering of excess decorations… not that I have too many, lol…

had some great Halloween fun tonight…

driving buddy came for supper, passing out goodies to trick-or-treaters, and a sleepover…

there was quite a bit of hilarity as costumes were donned…

not many kids this year… just twelve;-(… not the kind of record I was hoping for… the weather was lovely but maybe that made it easier for them to keep walking and focusing on longer streets filled with houses… a short street that has a park on both sides of one end isn’t too popular…

but, the very first one was dressed as a witch, just like me… we did not see any superwomen riding horses, like what we had in the house, lol…

it is certainly more fun to welcome the little people when you have company…

what a great evening spent with three of my colleagues…

always a treat to get to visit and enjoy time together…

the women entrepreneurs who were celebrated at WEYA tonight were all about health and wellness… a good reminder to take time to care for yourself…

they are an amazing group… our province is in good hands;-)…

over the ten days of vacation our friendly swan moved all about the campsite… we’d move her every now and again and send the photos to my daughter while she was at work… it was a lot of fun…

she started out on the boat, moved to the tube, then on to the roof of the car and finally the top of the trailer, once it was down, lol… it was a lot of fun each day to find the newest spot…

on Sunday she finally made it to the beach… after a short stint in the water, she was deflated bit by bit and stuffed under one of the seats…

looking forward to seeing her out and about again, lol…

camping, day seven…

such odd weather today… cool when we first got up but it was fairly warm and sunny as we left the channel…

then the sky turned gray and it cooled off while we were fishing… we docked the boat to go back to the campsite for lunch and then headed out again…

we saw loons, a parent and child, I think and many, many seagulls… no eagles or turtles…

we spent about six hours on the water fishing… some of us caught nothing…

but we still had lots of fun…

camping, day six…

such a busy day…

up by seven, had a fire to warm up, ate breakfast and headed out to fish…

saw turtles swimming, eagles flying, loons fishing and even a deer grazing… at one point four eagles were circling overhead…

fish were caught and one of the Jack fish was 31″ long…

in for lunch and then we spent the afternoon tubing on our new 3 person BodyGlove with a bit of kneeboarding thrown in for good measure…

we had some friends with us and the mom and I took a turn on the tube… and I am still alive to tell the story, lol…

back to the campsite for burgers, a quick visit to the Marina looking for lures and now the dog and I are back at the camper while the boys have gone to play bingo…

going to sleep well tonight…
