excited this morning to take a picture of the blooming orchid…

  
spent a bit of time preparing a bag so I would be ready to head out after work for the evening’s soccer game…

picked up from work, drove across town to pick up the boys and dog, and headed back across town for the final game of the soccer series…

luckily, had a big bag of almonds which provided entertainment for the youngest as the game was played…

  
beautiful evening to sit outside and cheer on the nine and ten year olds… heard all about the importance of defence from my guy… did have to giggle as the dads’ were having a bit of trouble giving up being the coaches… fair bit of directives from the sidelines… 

wonderful opportunity to spend some time with my kids and a fun way to start the weekend…

cool day and overcast for a good portion of it but mid-afternoon the sun came out… still a biting wind though…

picked up at work by my daughter and we gathered up the rest of the family and went to Fun Days at their school…

kind of chilly but the little boys had fun…

 
 then I came home, having remembered, after a text and phone call, that I was supposed to be home at six for a friend to pick something up, oopsie… luckily they went out for dinner so were able to stop by on their way home…

since then, I’ve been bringing in plants and covering up the ones left outside, because the temperature is supposed to go below zero tonight…

 
not much room at the back door…

 pots in the sink…

  and on the dining room table… 

absolute craziness that it is supposed to freeze on the second last day of May…

beautiful moon tonight…

  
looking forward to the pictures I took with the camera…

been a long day and I am going to bed right now…

fun…

had a great evening…

friend came over, brought dinner, cookies and petunias… with an appetizer of chips, lol…

  
after supper we worked on a database program… had to work in the living room using the power cord that has the three-prong plugs… had a computer and a printer hooked up…

great fun as we learned what it could do, while entering information… still need to figure out a few things…

really enjoy working with new technology and helping others figure it out..

more birthday fun continued today…

once the boys woke up (after 8), we drove to the “A” for breakfast as it was chilly and rainy… the whole purpose of breakfast out was so we could walk, lol…

downtown for lunch and a Habitat for Humanity Garden Party and Fashion show…  

on to IKEA where I picked up two utensil holders… they were not the ones I really wanted but they will work fine… the last bit of red has now left the kitchen…

 

home to put the finishing touches on supper… all excited about the reheated mashed potatoes which will not affect my blood sugar the way freshly cooked ones do…

  

been looking forward to this dinner for over a week… our tradition is to have the birthday person choose their favourite meal and that is what we have… 

roasted chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy and stuffing are one of my favourite meals… haven’t had normal mashed potatoes since Christmas dinner because of the diabetes issues… 

usually you don’t have to make your own birthday supper and my son-in-law was really against me making the dinner, but it was what I wanted…

  

it was delicious and I certainly enjoyed every mouthful…

lots of eating today…

Easter…

saw a lovely tablescape on a TV program a few days ago and decided I would do something similar for Easter… rather pleased that I had the energy to take it on…

went to three Dollar stores to get all the bits…

  

used a beach mat, three very cute cut out placemats, a bamboo fence and the cutest little bunnies… also picked up a few paper lanterns and some tulips… final touch was some gingham napkins…  

had a great time putting it all together… even found some shells to fill up the coffee table and put a bunny and a hyacinth on it…  

kids arrived and then a young friend stopped by with her adorable twins… eggs were hunted and a pail filled with treats…

  

 

snuggles were shared all around…

ham, hashbrown casserole, Parmesan asparagus, sparking cider and a variety of cheesecakes for supper…

such fun… 

looking forward to dinner with my ReImaging friends here tomorrow night…

fun…

lots of fun was had today…

started out in the morning when everyone piled on daddy, who didn’t want to get out of bed…

20140726-214623-78383963.jpgbreakfast in the hotel was good… some ordered from the menu and some had the buffet… then it was on to the shopping… we went into many stores and bought many bags full of treats for everyone…

20140726-214858-78538407.jpgCrystal took this picture when we got home from the first trip…

back at the hotel everyone except me went to the pool while I had a snack, read, and laid down for a rest just before the family arrived back in the room… headed out to Buffalo Wild Wings where we over-ordered, by a lot…

20140726-215516-78916634.jpgearlier in the day there was the odd sanity break…

20140726-215657-79017699.jpgquick trip through a store to pick up a few items requested by friends at home, bought a few things to drink and returned to the hotel for some time at the water park…

20140726-220248-79368093.jpglights are dim and drinks and snacks are being prepared… even having mini facials tonight…

last week we had another good sized snow fall…

while I was waiting for my ride I went out to clear the sidewalk… I couldn’t believe how much snow there was… and of course the wind was blowing so lots of the snow came back to me, lol…  it is getting rather difficult to toss it as there is so much of it…

except when he was under orders not to, George did all the shovelling… for some of the time when he couldn’t shovel, we hired a young man who would stop by now and then to clear the sidewalks and driveway…  he never did the job to George’s satisfaction but the driveway and sidewalks were usable…

George taking are of business...

George taking care of business…

my job was to watch out the window and make sure there was something warm to drink when George was done…  he usually complained about it, but he loved playing with the snow blower and would often do other driveways and walkways for fun…

thankfully my ride arrived and I could stop with the shovelling… and luckily for me, my son-in-law stopped by later in the day and got rid of all the rest of the snow which made me very happy when I got home that night…

excellent exercise…
