my housemate took the car in this morning for new front brakes… we are trying out a garage that a friend recommended…

it took about four hours and then we got the call it was ready…

he had gone to work, so I ordered my first Uber to go and pick it up…

it came in about three minutes, was clean, and the driver was dressed professionally… seven minutes got me there…

the estimate and final bill for the new brakes matched and the car drives well… the brakes don’t feel any different…

happy to have found this new service station which is closer than Toyota;-)…

on Victoria Day, my housemate changed the tires on Indi…

it was well past the time to get the summer ones on…

unfortunately, it took a long time as the tires didn’t want to leave the car…

getting the jack in just the right place to be able to work on the back tires took a minute…

eventually, three of the four were replaced, but the fourth one did not want to cooperate… luckily a neighbour came over and between he and my housemate it finally came off…

now she loves lovely with her summer wheels;-)…

what a busy day…

this morning I was picked up and dropped off downtown at my dentist‘s office for a cleaning… I was early so I walked around a bit and got a few photos of the golden guy…

been a really long time since I was downtown…

from there we went to Superstore where I found a few dishes and a little Tradescantia Nanouk…

then I drove home, emptied out the car, and took Indi to get a bath…

seemed as though most of the city decided to do the same thing, lol… got there at 12:11, into the wash at 12:32 and was out by 12:51… I walked outside while the car was inside…

back home, had lunch, and then drove to an appointment… from there it was back to Superstore to collect my grandson and return home…

a lot of driving and it was fun to be behind the wheel…

but now I am tired, lol…

it is my normal pattern to look out the bedroom window when I get up to check the weather and see if the snow has melted, or more has fallen, or whether the sun is shining, lol…

this morning I was surprised when I looked out and spotted Indi… she is home for a few days so that we have transportation while the guest is still here and because of all the snow there wasn’t room to go into the garage…

there were also treats… I received this lovely Monet bookmark from Paris which matches the sweet tray I was given the other day;-)… I put it right into the book I was reading…

and a bit later in the day this ice cream cone arrived… yum, haven’t had one since my booster shot…

we ended the day working on the puzzle I ordered quite some time ago – which I hadn’t been able to connect the edge pieces, so I had packed it up and put it away in disgust…

in about an hour the border was done… hmmm, what a difference a little help makes;-)…

every minute has been delightful…

yesterday I drove the car… woohoo… it has been four months since I was last in it… I see the doctor every three or four months and that is the only time I am out and about on my own…

the drive was fine, although the corners were difficult to maneuver with so much snow making it hard to see if other vehicles were coming…

in the afternoon I also drove to the eye doctor’s office to have my glasses tightened… been a very long time since I’ve been in a store… they had excellent procedures in place which made it feel safe… and the great news is that now my glasses don’t fall off my face when I bend over, lol…

seems like everywhere I went there were big trucks that were being filled with snow on street corners…

spring is coming… there were puddles right next to huge banks of snow…

and then, my grandson arrived and off went the car;-)…

today the kids came to drop off the car… and shovel the driveway… it was sunny and a balmy -16C…

there was a lot of snow because it hadn’t been cleared for at least two big snows…

didn’t take them very long and then they backed Indi in so it will be easy for me to get out tomorrow… seems strange to see her in the driveway, lol…

and, they brought me flowers… what a delightful treat…

we had a short visit in the house before they headed off for the rest of their busy day…

what a lovely day…

my grandson came over with a bunch of things I’d asked for…

one of which was this cute tree pillow to go with the Joy pillow from the other day…

we had a delicious lunch of roast chicken, potatoes, gravy and carrots…

a lovely visit and off he and Indi went…

then I spent time wrapping a number of presents… such fun… and I used some of my recent Happy Mail for Chocolate Lovers gift tags…

those tags have come in very handy;-)…

this morning my grandson came over to put on the snow tires…

to get the car into the garage he first had to shovel the driveway…

I had made a narrow path from the house to the garage door so that I could take down the table and move things so he could do the work inside the garage…

tires got changed although he ended up only putting Indi in halfway for the front and back wheels… I had to take a photo with both the pretty summer rims and sad winter tires on at the same time, lol…

there was a lot of snow and it was wet and heavy, but he got it done, including the sidewalk and paths… I was pleased that he came in a few times to rest and visit a bit…

just as he finished, it started to snow again…

and off he went with proper winter tires on, which made me happy…

my grandsons came by… one to shovel and the other to bring me a few items…

it was nice to see them both… the younger one stepped inside the back door where he warmed up his cold hands and drank some of the hot chocolate I made for him…

the older one stepped inside the front door and brought in the items he had picked up… we had a short chat, he in the doorway with a mask on, and me on the far side of the living room with a mask on… nice to have a short chat with him as well…

once the shovelling was finished, they headed off with a few treats I’d gathered up for them;-)…

it was nice to see Indi, even if she was dirty, lol…
