been giggling a bit…
I planted many morning glories and have been watching for the first blooms…
yesterday I spotted the first one… it was blooming under the bench of the butterfly chair, lol…
nearly impossible to see…
today I saw the second bloom, on the bench this time and with another bud preparing to open;-)…
hope more will open higher up, lol…

there were sparkles everywhere today…
my chair at work, the floor, the seat of the car… even my face, I think… too funny… but I really like the t-shirt… enjoyed spotting the places where the sparkles were and spending a moment giggling to myself…
ate at the new Japanese restaurant across the street from work… at lunch they have a few bento boxes to choose from, as well as the usual sushi options…
lunch was delicious and the visit with my friend was wonderful, as always…
so happy to have special moments like these and be able to take the time to savour them…

this morning I put on a jacket that I bought here with my daughter before heading to the West Coast for the cruise to Alaska…
it made me giggle as I remembered packing to go to the airport and discovering the security tag still attached… it was very late and I was heading to the airport early the next morning… I couldn’t figure out how to get it off and worried that it would set off the alarms… had picked it up particularly for the rain I anticipated we would run into on the trip, so I didn’t want to leave it behind…
thank goodness my son-in-law came by after he got off work at eleven that night and figured out how to remove it…
tonight I got to have a few lovely macaroons which my nephew brought back from his trip to Ottawa… very tasty…
had a great visit with one of my friends and saw some pictures of her new granddaughter… so sweet…
when she left I stood at the window and waved, as I always do…
reminded me of my Aunty Vi… she died many years ago… she and my Uncle Don lived in a tiny little house filled with knick knacks… she loved to make things such as pottery, knit things of all types, food that she would share with all of her family… she made me laugh…
she always stood at the door to wave everyone off… my dad’s sister, she was very special…
lovely to remember her tonight…
