beloved, gorgeous sunset, hand=me overs, no mitts or toques, savour the moment, sundogs, traffic bad, warmer day

got this shot of the sunset tonight… nice to see a blue sky that isn’t filled with sundogs, lol… was discussing with someone today about taking the time to enjoy the moment and not just rushing through the day, week, life, etc., and seeing this sunset reminded me of the importance of taking that moment and savouring it…

sunset tonight...

sunset tonight…

day started off fairly windy but quite warm… with the wind chill it was minus 16 Celsius… everyone was very happy… people even walked around without mitts and toques.. and the sun was shining as well for most of the day… it was lovely…

a bit sick that we think -16 is a heat wave but lovely none the less…

traffic has been brutal for the last number of weeks as the icy and rut-filled roads are causing accidents and everything is, and has been, moving at a snail’s pace…

my head is still full of cold, but I am feeling the slightest bit better… which is very good news… sadly there are many around me who are falling ill with this and I am hoping that they will all be feeling better very soon…

missing my beloved today as I gather up boxes of hand-me overs to go out on the step tomorrow… he would have helped me carry them from the various rooms so they would be ready at the front door in the morning, although he might have also wanted to go through them and save some of the items…

family fun…

big girl pants, blessed, family fun, gorgeous sunset, Henry's, Jamie Noordman Photography, new blue jeans, special moments, vanished

went to a dog park with the kids this afternoon for some family photos… I had never been to this particular place before, but did find my way… wearing the new blue jeans and hoodie…

there were lots of trees to climb… everyone listened very well and lots of photos were taken… even I climbed a tree, although could not make it far enough out on the trunk to be in the group shot, lol…

took my camera and got a few shots behind the scenes as the fun was being had… Jamie Noordman Photography did a great job…

nice shot of Jeff and Crystal...

there were lots and lots and lots of dogs there… most of them loose… one nearly knocked me over, but on the whole they were very well behaved… including the two with us…

watching the group...

things went very well, until one of those other dogs grabbed the special stick that one of the little guys had found, right out of his hand…

that doesn’t sound like that big a deal, but it was the end of cooperation for picture taking… even Grandma’s Skittle treats couldn’t save the day…

on our way home we stopped for hot chocolate at Starbucks and then went our separate ways… sadly I got a little lost, but then found the right road…

ended up stopping at Henry’s to buy a new charger for my phone because the old one has vanished…

stunning sky tonight, caught with my iPhone...

watched some tv and caught this absolutely gorgeous sky when I happened to look out the window…

eventful day filled with lots of fun and special moments… I am truly blessed…

easy day…

blessed, champagne and chocolate, chemicals in hot tub, dismantle chocolate fountain, easy day, George, gorgeous sunset, Lake Superior, playing tunes, rest-filled day, watered plants

took it very easy today…

got up and then watched TV for quite a while, in between naps… then I cleaned up the kitchen from the party, family dinner and kids being here… just a bit at a time… playing some tunes as I went about the clean-up…

moved on to the dining room and dealt with quite a few things… put away bowls and dishes and tidied up sparklers and glow-in-the-dark sticks… and various other things…

cleaning up dining room...

cleaning up dining room…

spent quite some time trying to take apart the chocolate fountain… I think George was always the one who dismantled it… eventually I figured it out and got it apart and clean… will put it away in its box in the morning…

watered some plants outside and put chemicals in the hot tub…

had a glass of champagne and a few chocolates when I took a break this afternoon…

one set of kids have made it to their next destination on their trip to Ontario and sent me a picture of Lake Superior, and the others sent me a picture of a gorgeous sunset…

a lovely and rest-filled day which reminds me of how blessed I am…
