on Saturday afternoon, we went to our PTE play, Big Stuff…

as we park underground we always leave our coats in the car which makes sitting in the theatre more comfortable…

as we entered the theatre we were given a card with a pencil in it… most people did respond and the actors collected all of them and dumped them into a couple of boxes…

throughout the performance they connected with some of the people who had responded on the cards…

it was quite delightful and one of our favourite shows;-)…

aurora borealis, big girl pants, blessed, enamoured, Fleurs de Villes WONDER, flowers, happy, moments, The Leaf at Assiniboine Park, widow

last week, when I visited Fleurs de Villes WONDER at The Leaf, for the first time, I was completely enamoured with the Aurora Borealis display…

it was filled with some of my favourite colours and just touched me immediately…

I was on a volunteer shift and got to see it in daylight (I started at 3, ended at 6), and under the lights…

since then I’ve watched a video about how it was made and learned more about it…

I also put up a photo on IG and got a note from Christine at Silver Heights Florist, the artist who designed and carried out this piece with assistance from others, advising she had a bouquet for me…

I picked it up yesterday and it has all the colours of the original display in it…

what a treat;-)…

if you have a chance you really should go and check out WONDER before it leaves…

recently, a package came in the mail from my daughter in Ottawa…

in it was a delightful handcrafted calendar that is a bouquet…

it is going to look different every month as the twelve pieces move from front to back;-)…

I am so blessed;-)…

100, 2025, big girl pants, blessed, books, happy, moments, widow

today, I finished my hundredth book of 2025…

I am very happy… I would have done better except for one book which I didn’t like, so kept on putting reading off, lol… but I did finish it…

so many of the books were enjoyed in the garden over the spring, summer, and fall;-)…

I need to work on putting a book aside, without finishing it, if I don’t like it, lol…

Advent, big girl pants, blessed, boxes, family, happy, lights, moments, music, season, spirit, stairs, Technology, widow

waited till late in the day to fill the stairs with trees and Advent boxes…

should have started earlier because it took a while to get into the spirit, although I did enjoy the Christmas music I put on…

all of the lights worked right off the bat and eventually each box found a home…

the last few ended up by the front door…

the remainder of the forest found its way into the bathroom, the kitchen and onto the dining room table…

starting to feel like the season;-)…

finally got around to changing the living room table…

it has been the same since springtime, yikes…

took a little while to put away the shells, crystals, stones and books, as well as the sarongs that had been on the bottom of each of the four areas…

next, I found the Christmas box that had all the smaller purple, silver, white, and clear ornaments…

filled three squares and then brought down three angels that have special meaning for me to complete the last spot…

I’m pleased with the result although I haven’t quite decided what goes on the top, lol…

I am always interested in the setting for each of the plays we attend at PTE…

this one was neat and it was cool how they changed the setting with tables and chairs…

both funny and thought provoking and the actors changed from one character to another smoothly…

really enjoying this season;-)…

I am absolutely thrilled with the job Vicky’s Alterations did putting zippers in two hoodies…

I had stopped wearing one although it was very comfy… unfortunately, it was just too difficult to take it off…

it looks great and like it always had a zipper in it…

now it is easy to get on and off…

the zipper matched perfectly on the second hoodie…

so happy;-)…
