we took a trip to the East Coast in 1988 or 1989 – amazing what I forget these days, lol…

the four of us, plus my beloved’s mom… we had bought a tricked out van and the trip was great…

when we got to the coast we had lobster at every stop because the four of us loved it… George’s mom couldn’t figure out why we kept eating it as she didn’t like it that much, lol…

while we were there, we found a beach that had coal all over it… we had such fun collecting a bagful to bring home to use for first footing…

I’ve been down to one fairly large piece for a a few years now, so I’ve been careful with it…

as I was working away in the garage, cleaning, sorting, dumping stuff, I found the original bag filled with a whole lot more…

what a treasure, so exciting…

I went for a walk… outside… in the neighbourhood… no idea when I did that last…

walked with my daughter in my ear…

didn’t go too far, up to and around Bruce Park… it was lovely to see flowers, the creek, and get some photos…

felt fine at the end… only met a few people and they weren’t close to me…

the cleaners were here today and while they were inside the house, I was in the garden on the back deck spending time with googly finding the answers to the Happy Mail for Chocolate Lovers crossword that I received in an email mid-August;-)…

it was fun learning new facts about the various places where cacao grows…

big excitement when I discovered 2, yes 2, beans growing, lol…

I had planted a number of seeds but thought that none of them had survived… I’m not sure whether the crazy hot weather affected them…

happily, my neighbour brought me another feed which I had with my supper…

not exactly sure what I will do with two as they still aren’t quite ready, lol…

had a lovely in-person gathering with my BS buddies…

Monday evening is our usual time to gather, and we’ve been doing that for many years…

since the lockdown we’ve been connecting via Skype, but for the last number of weeks we’ve been meeting on the deck in the garden, unless the weather doesn’t cooperate…

it is wonderful to be together again… we sit apart, but are able to enjoy each other with a cup of tea or coffee…

laughter fills the air…

received my new earbuds…

two or three weeks ago my pretty Samsung Earbuds just stopped working… all of a sudden they wouldn’t pair with my phone… of course they were not under warranty… the service department suggested I have them repaired locally but the local people advised they would have to send them away… it was going to cost $55 if they sent them away and I decided not to have them repaired… and it wasn’t clear how much the repair might cost…

I thought about it for quite a while and did a ton of research before deciding on these ones…

I want them mainly for phone calls which meant there weren’t that many options and ones that would be comfortable in my ears…

I finally ordered them on Wednesday, and they were delivered on Friday;-)…

they were easy to pair with my iPhone and music sounds good…

will have to see how they are on phone calls…

wish me luck;-)…

on Monday the slinky arrived in the mail…

we’d been looking for a while and apparently everyone has been buying them as there were none available nearby…

this one was ordered on Thursday and turned up just four days later…

once the rain stopped I put it on the bird feeder pole…

I didn’t pin the bottom down as I read that this wasn’t required…

we will see if it keeps the squirrels from getting to the feeder…

on Sunday night I slept for 8 hours…

now that the Olympics are over I can turn the tv off at night and get a great sleep…

well, I could have turned it off during the Olympics, but that just wasn’t in the cards, lol… I would slide in and out of sleep to watch whatever might be getting the announcer excited…

retirement has certainly made watching middle of the night events easier…

8 hours;-)… woohoo…
