had a lovely pedicure on Thursday as one of the celebrations for my birthday…

a day early but, like many places, they were closed for Good Friday;-)…

Joy was gentle and did a wonderful job of holding my feet securely as she worked so I didn’t kick her at all… those sensitive feet, lol…

as a special treat, I had the paraffin treatment, which is always delightful…

and because I wore my flip flops, she put them on first and then put on the polish… very clever…

had lots of time to sit and let the polish dry before heading home…

and am very happy with the fresh toes on my already slightly tanned feed;-)…

so excited today to get my new winter boots…

the pair I’ve been wearing for well over twenty years have begun to fall apart in front of me;-(…

I wanted Canadian-made and decided to try Vessi… besides being made in BC, they are also waterproof…

I had hoped to try a pair on and went to the mall, but they aren’t carried in Manitoba…

so, I took a chance and ordered them online and was pleased to get free shipping…

I ordered them last week and they arrived today…

and they fit… I was worried as often when I’ve tried pull-ons, they wouldn’t go over my ankles, but I had no problem… yay…

now they will get put away for when the snow starts in the Fall and the falling apart pair will sadly head to the landfill…

got some lovely flowers on Tuesday…

had fun trimming and putting them into a couple of vases…

one went onto the living room table right by where I spend a good portion of the day…

the second went into the den so I can enjoy them while watching tv…

great way to start my birthday month, lol…

last Thursday a person from Manitoba Hydro arrived at the door…

I was a bit surprised, because I was expecting an inspector on Friday to review, and hopefully, approve the gas hot water tank installation…

but the Thursday person was here to change the Hydro meter…

after they changed it they advised that it was wifi enabled and they would be able to read it from outside the house once it is hooked up to their system…

I was a bit worried because when I looked at the meter a while later it was still showing zeros across the board… but, by Friday, it was starting to move… woohoo…

and then on Friday, the inspector arrived late, but approved the work, whew… which is kind of good considering it was over a month since the tank was installed, lol…

went to Costco on Wednesday morning and clearly picked a great time as parking was easy and the store wasn’t too busy…

I was very happy that the frozen raspberries I use were not a product of the USA, and neither was the Parmesan cheese…

it is kind of difficult on most packaging to find the information that tells you clearly where it comes from 😬…

went to the Park Cafe for breakfast and had a very nice time…

Richard was our waitperson and he did a wonderful job…

I had tea as we waited for our breakfast and it did seem to be taking a bit longer than usual, but not horribly…

when it came, Richard advised that they cooked my poached eggs to medium and he remembered that I had asked for very soft, so he had them redo them, which was why it took a bit longer…

he also mentioned at the end that I could have requested a grilled tomato instead of the hash browns which he saw that I hadn’t eaten…

it was the first time in ages that I felt we’d received stellar service at a restaurant…

he got a big tip;-)…

I’ve been asking my grandson to get the car washed for ages…

he had numerous reasons why it didn’t happen, but they boiled down to the fact that it would just get dirty again…

I finally gave an ultimatum that it had to be washed… poor thing was filthy…

he went out Wednesday evening and brought Indy home clean… even though it was dreadfully cold, thankfully, none of the doors froze up…

she looks so nice;-)…

trickery…

had an oopsie yesterday as I was in the process of cleaning out two of the pumps…

the pothos that sits on the shelf above the tanks had gotten really full and long, so I decided to trim it, sigh…

apparently I should have measured, lol…

the reason the plant is there is to cover up the space between two of the tanks where the pump fits…

so, once the pumps were cleaned up, a little bit of trickery took place…

I found a vase and filled it with the cut off pieces of the plant trying to have as many as possible high inside the vase…

it was still obvious that there was a space, so I added three paperback books that I had already read and put the vase back….

can’t even tell now… and once all the cuttings take root, I will pot them up and add them to the indoor garden, whew;-)…
