Advent, big girl pants, birthday, chocolate, grandson, Grey Cup, project, rocks, shopping, sleepover, snake, Snowbirds

out for breakfast and did a bit of shopping with my daughter…

had a nap and watched some figure skating and skiing on tv…

ordered supper in with the kids and saw the Snowbirds out the front window… they were here as part of the Grey Cup celebration I think…

  
watched my grandson find all the purple rocks in the coffee table… “there are a lot Grandma”…

  
he told me all about the birthday party he had been at this afternoon where they got to hold frogs and lizards and snakes… got the bed ready and our project done…

  
hardest part was getting the cardboard off the chocolate covered raisin container…

we worked very well together and had fun counting and talking about nice things we could do for others during Advent…

  
project complete and one of us is in bed watching tv… 

not me this time as I am waiting for his brother to arrive from a different birthday party… 

break…

big girl pants, break, Carbone Coal Fired Pizza, dinner, Gas, Grey Cup, horses, parade, Tea

two fun treats today…

got to watch a parade go by the office with horses and carts and lots of people dressed beautifully…

 
police cars were blocking Donald Street…  
 
it was getting colder, but everyone kept walking along…

  
assume it had something to do with the Grey Cup Celebration… didn’t get out quick enough to get a good shot of the horses…

lovely little break in the day…

then I had dinner with two dear young women… don’t get out often to eat, particularly on a week night… and it was excellent to be able to spend some quality time with these amazing individuals… they both give me energy… 

went to Carbone Coal Fired Pizza on St. Mary Avenue and had salad and thin crust pizza… yummy… I really do prefer the thin crust versions…

on my way home I stopped for gas… it was around six and there was a lineup… crazy… but now the tank is full… both my dad and George always said it was best to keep the tank at least half full especially in cold weather, so I’ve followed that direction…

when I got home I made a pot of Chocolate Rocket tea… at the restaurant I thought the wait person said they had green and red tea… wasn’t sure what red tea was, lol… apparently he said green or red rose… sometimes I don’t hear that well…

but the Chocolate Rocket was just what I needed…

now for some tv…
