have really taken the day to rest and recover from the cold I’ve been struggling with all week… 

these are some of the times when I most miss my beloved… he always did a great job of looking after me…

jammies on all day and the only thing I did was prepare meals…

for breakfast I really wanted to order something, but dragged myself down to the kitchen and took inspiration from the cute woman at the resort who made all the egg dishes… cooked up mushrooms, green onion and spinach and made an omelette with a little cheese in it as well… came out very nicely…

for lunch I chose the last bit of my zucchini basil chicken soup with chips and some Mexican chocolate… seemed like just the right combination, lol…

for supper made one of the ChefsPlate meals… still enjoying the process of preparing the meal… and it tasted great…

turkey and spinach meatballs…

as I was sitting in the living room waiting for the meatballs to finish cooking I could actually smell the hyacinth…

hurray, the cold is starting to let up…

jammies…

big girl pants, farewell, jammies, mosquitoes, rain, school, soccer, widow

slept over at the kids’ and was up for a grade 5 farewell…


very well done celebration and it ended with cake and punch… someone had three pieces, lol… wonder how the rest of his day was… big brother even came along so he could see his former teachers… pretty good school when kids want to come back and visit…


squeezed a picture out of the family before they flew off in different directions…

after a bit of time in their backyard, was dropped at home where I had lunch and a nap… for my dinner I warmed up some risotto that a friend had brought to me a few days ago and made some coleslaw to go with it… 


was yummy…

then headed to a local soccer field to watch the oldest grandson play… looked like it might spit a bit so I took a rain jacket… 


good plan, because it poured for at least half of the game… but those kids just kept playing like troupers…


by the time it ended the sun was out and so were the mosquitoes…


when I got home I discovered that my shorts were very wet, so I changed into my jammies and made a pot of tea…

been a busy few weeks, but lots of fun…

flowers…

beloved, big girl pants, flowers, happy, jammies, moon, snow, sun, sunshine, widow

woke up to snow on the ground this morning… really, lol… it was lovely because I didn’t have to go outside into it… 

  
there was also a beautiful moon…

  
spent the entire day in my jammies taking it easy… 

did walk for half an hour on the treadmill and made zucchini basil soup… I might be a bit addicted to that one…

the whole house is permeated with the smell from the hyacinth… so I took a few pictures of all the flowers in the house today…

  
the light was wonderful in the dining room…

  
the sunlight on them was lovely… 

and finally I got a picture of the sun streaming into the living room…

  
so happy to have the flowers filling the house…

they make me happy… 

remembering my beloved who would make sure I had lots around, particularly at this time of the year…

chills…

big girl pants, chills, Clay Oven, cold, icicles, jammies, leftovers, seat warmers, snow

this morning I wasn’t feeling great… had an early morning business breakfast so was out of the house by seven…

been struggling with a runny nose for the last week but this morning I got the chills…

tried lots of tea and a warm shawl when we were back in the office… nothing seemed to work, so I headed home at noon…

really appreciated the seat warmer and actually sat in the car for a few extra minutes to savour the heat…

climbed into the hot tub for quite some time in an effort to feel warmer… the icicles were dripping it was so warm outside…

got into my jammies and went to sleep…

when I finally woke up, three and a half hours later, and looked outside, it was snowing like crazy…

  
everything is covered in snow now…

for a Friday treat, and because I’m still feeling crumby, I ordered dinner from Clay Oven…

delicious and even have a few leftovers for tomorrow…

now back to bed… goodnight…

preparing…

big girl pants, Christmas, decorating, jammies, parcels, preparing, tree

spent the day in my jammies…

had a lovely time preparing parcels, listening to the Christmas music of Neil Diamond and Michael Buble…

wrapped parcels went by the tree…

might add a few more ornaments as I go through the remaining boxes, but it looks pretty good…

the coffee table looks exactly how I imagined, but still needs more purple balls… with any luck I will find more as i go along…

the little boys helped me decorate the stairs with trees when they arrived for supper… things are sticking out a bit more than usual… it would make George crazy because he didn’t like stuff taking up space on the steps…

beginning to look a lot like Christmas…
