had the most delightful day with my grandson…

we had breakfast at one of our favourite places, ran a few errands and spent six hours at Thermea…

went in when it was light, and left in the dark…

today was the first time I’ve had a massage there and it was lovely… I like the Swedish, gentle, ones… my grandson had the deep tissue one, lol… I think he might be bruised, but he was happy…

then it was on to the thermal experience… even the Polar pool a few times… we attended an Aufguss ritual, spent time in nearly all the saunas, sat by the fire, enjoyed both pools, had supper and spent more time in the cool pool and hot tub…

just like his mother, aunt and grandfather, he can find people he’s met before in any place he goes;-)… and had a lengthy chat with them…

what a wonderful day it has been… on our way home he treated me to a Dairy Queen ice cream cone – one of my favourites ;-)…

great time with my boys today…

we went out for lunch, did some shopping, and emptied and refilled the hot tub in under an hour…

that was pretty amazing because usually it takes about five hours to do this… think I will use this process in the future…

found out that the PVRs are broken, which explained why neither I or the guys could get any of them working… set up an appointment for someone to come out and do a repair during the week… missing a number of shows, sigh…

finally, we added a light strip along the staircase… it is going to be a great addition to my Google Home…

much cleaner looking than the twinkle lights were;-)…

ended our time with dinner in, and then they were off to watch the Jets game at home…

nuthatches…

enjoyed some time in the hot tub this morning…

although, having a hot tub Saturday evening and Sunday morning doesn’t work that well because my water shoes don’t have time to dry completely… they are rather cold and soggy, lol…

watched chickadees and nuthatches come and go to the feeder and have snacks…

a bit later in the day I watched more chickadees and nuthatches in the front yard…

such fun to get to enjoy the moments with the critters all around…

enjoyed…

quiet day today…

went and got a hair cut…

topped up the hot tub, trimmed some Virginia creeper and took a few pictures in the garden of the last few blooming plants…

made an appointment for a pedicure with a friend next week and finished the turkey soup…

enjoyed it with some of Mom’s dumplings…

great day…

pump…

had a lovely treat… this morning two of my boys came to the house and changed the tires on Indi…

then they came and got me at the office and we went to Boston Pizza for lunch…

and at the end of the day I came home to the grass mowed, outdoor furniture put away for winter and the pump running in the pond…

was just in the hot tub and spent the entire time listening to the beautiful sound of the water running;-)… I have missed it over the last few weeks…

trimming…

the Virginia creeper had completely taken over beside the hot tub… the tv room was basically always dark because the window was covered with vines…

I’ve tried to get it trimmed down by others, but timing hasn’t worked…

today I did it myself… put on those big girl pants and climbed onto the edge of the hot tub…

afterwards I went back into my photos to find some I knew were there of my beloved trimming the same area…

these photos were from July 2011… it is always bittersweet when I look through old pictures… fun to see and relive the memories, but missing him at the same time…

stuff…

started my day in the hot tub… rather quiet as the waterfall is turned off while awaiting repair, lol…

walked to the grocery store; consulted with Hilda the Gardener, who then did some amazing clean-up in the side garden and tidied the main garden; and packed up all my stuff for another few days of camping…

ended the day watching boys jump into the lake from a rather tall rock, which we climbed, and now we sit by the campfire…

did manage to get one flower picture as well;-)…

been a full day… think it might be an early night…

before…

productive day on Sunday…

topped up the hot tub, did laundry, prepped a few meals for the coming week, spent some time relaxing in the garden…

finished a book, watered plants, cleaned the fish tank, and consulted with Hilda the Gardener…

she very kindly sent me some before pictures…

had lunch out with my grandson, grocery shopped and got home to see the beautifully tidied front flower beds…

put away the groceries while the lawn was being mowed… went out and took a few photos of the tidied front beds…

fit in a nap, warmed up some leftovers for supper and watched a few PVR’d shows…

phew…

blissful…

such a lovely day…

was up and in the hot tub while the moon was a crescent in the sky… then I went back to bed and slept for another three hours…

in the garden and had all the cushions out before breakfast, after mowing the grass… spent the entire morning reading and listening to the waterfall…

after lunch had a nap and went for a pedicure…

company for dinner and then spent the remainder of the evening in the garden…

blissful…

feeders…

started the day with a lovely hot tub…

although tons of snow has melted, there is still quite a bit covering the garden… took a photo when I got out of the tub…

this afternoon my grandson filled the bird feeders and then shovelled some of the snow so that it might melt a bit faster when the sun shines…

birds are gonna be happy…
