beloved, big girl pants, early, garden, groceries, hockey, money

busy day… up fairly early because the birds were singing away before dawn… had a few tough moments missing my beloved… amazing how those moments just materialize and you have to wait them out…

went to Dollarama looking for a small drinking glass but they didn’t have any… I did find a cute tray… looks a bit like the dining room chairs, lol…  on to the grocery store where I loaded up on veggies and some tulips jumped into my cart…  grocery shopping is getting more expensive, but I have tons of healthy food for the next week or so… once everything was put away, had a nap and lunch… 

sat in the garden reading for a few hours and then the kids arrived for dinner… steak and lobster with baked potato, mushrooms. asparagus and Caesar salad… yummy… 

doorbell rang and a fellow was wanting to do some yard work to raise money for his hockey playing son…  while we finished cleaning up the kitchen, he and his family cleaned out the front flower bed and raked the front yard…

ran out to take a picture of the finished product and caught the mallards, who live in our creek, as they flew over…  excellent day…

snow…

big girl pants, groceries, quiet, snow

this morning there was a light dusting of snow on the ground… made me take this picture of one of the cute cushions I purchased this year…

throughout the day whenever I looked outside it was snowing…

when it was time to leave the office there was lots of snow to shovel off the car… the temperature was quite warm and the roads were very sloppy…

we stopped at the grocery store and picked up a few staples which was great because I hadn’t shopped on the weekend and had run out of veggies…

it is beautiful out… the world is white… it isn’t snowing right now but there is supposed to be more overnight…

only yesterday we had been talking about the amazing quiet after a snowfall… looking forward to that quiet when I get up in the morning…

I was working in the kitchen while they did most of the decorating…

we got a few little jobs done around the house and had a nice supper…

once they headed home I got into my jammies and climbed into bed…

condo, exercise, fish, groceries, walked

yesterday I walked home from Portage Avenue…

first time in weeks that I’ve actually walked outside because it has been so cold… by the time I got home my hips were killing me… yikes I am out of shape…

at lunch today it was nice, although not as nice as yesterday… I walked down to the grocery store which is a few blocks away from the office and picked up a couple of bags of groceries…

they were a bit heavy but I made the trip without feeling too tired… I had worn better boots, so maybe that was the problem yesterday…

even remembered to bring the groceries home at the end of the day…

the fish were happy to see me when I got in… they get lots of exercise swimming around their condo, lol…

broccoli coleslaw, George, groceries, hair cut, steak sandwiches, Ultracuts

tonight on my way home I stopped and got some items for work tomorrow, and picked up the makings for steak sandwiches and broccoli coleslaw for my supper…

had gone in to get my hair cut and had to wait half an hour so ran over to the grocery store…

got back to Ultracuts to have her come up and call my name… perfect timing…today I had Maureen, who has cut my hair many times and knows just what I like… we talked about how it hadn’t been that long since I’d been there and that the new hairdresser hadn’t cut it short enough… Maureen did a great job and in record time…

steak sandwiches and coleslaw...

steak sandwiches and coleslaw…

don’t think I’ve had steak sandwiches since George died… we used to have them every couple of weeks or so with some version of a coleslaw…
