made it to the Wolseley Farmers Market today…

on the walk from the car to the market, spotted this sweet bumblebee on some purple flowers;-)…

I was so happy to find little cucumbers and green beans… and we got some lamb chops and bacon…

as soon as we arrived home I prepared half of the beans and then cooked and ate them…

my housemate was happy for me to have them all, lol…

what a treat…

today, we celebrated one of our group’s birthdays by spending the afternoon at Pine Ridge Hollow…

we drove out in a hybrid electric car and spent a couple of hours wandering through all the shops…

we followed that up with an excellent dinner at the restaurant…

our meal started with beet chips and goat cheese ranch dipping sauce, oh my, so tasty…

four members of the group had pickerel piccata while I had the lamb shank…

my lamb was braised and flame-grilled, came with tabbouleh, fennel slaw, whipped labneh, and a drizzle of chermoula… I had to look up a number of the items on Google but they made a delightful combination;-)…

everyone’s meal was delicious and just a touch different than expected…

the birthday “girl” had schmoo, while others enjoyed the frozen lemon meringue…

we conscripted a fellow restaurant member as they were leaving to take our traditional photo…’you can see we were having a lot of fun;-)…

a leisurely drive home ended another of our special days…

had fun last night… our group went to Tehran Market & Cafe for Persian food…

it was fun to decipher the menu and and then see exactly what we ordered, lol…

we had this cute little button on the table to connect with the servers… it was very handy because it took us quite a while to decide what we wanted, lol…

our lovely waitperson took pictures of us with all the food…

I had lamb… it was very tasty and came with a huge portion of dill rice;-)…

there was even a spot on the button to advise when we were ready to pay… they came quickly whenever we pushed one of the buttons…

enjoyable evening with wonderful friends…

artistic, big girl pants, brunch, Conservatory, dinner, display, grandson, lamb, moments, Park Cafe, shells, widow

my middle grandson came over this morning to spend the night…

first thing we did was change the display in the living room table… took out the Chihuly bits and put in shells, books and rocks…

he has an artistic streak so it was fun to watch as he decided what needed to go where…

off to the Park, where we had brunch, walked through the Conservatory, and stopped by the Zoo to see if his toque had turned up in the lost and found…

sadly, no toque…

home for a rest and then some roasted lamb for our supper…

it was cooked perfectly…

lovely day filled with special moments…

Easter…

beloved, big girl pants, bunny, dinner, Easter, eggs, family, flowers, lamb, sore throat, tulips

woke up to a phone call from my grandkids wishing me a Happy Easter at 7:30 in the morning, lol… they were very excited to share all about the treats they discovered around their house…

then I went downstairs and on the way spotted the bunny outside…

  

must have just been getting home from all those deliveries…
 
last night I decorated the living room… even put some tulips into the bathroom…
  

flowers make me happy… finished the dining room and set the table for dinner… 

had picked up pencil crayons, colouring books and a few reading books for the boys which I put into the glass drawers in the living room table, along with more of the cute chocolate bunnies from the fundraiser…

  
amazingly, while I was sleeping, the Easter Bunny put mini eggs all over the table and elsewhere on the main floor…

missing my beloved… he had a great connection with the Easter Bunny and the two of them always made sure to find good hiding places for treats…

had a very quiet day as my throat has been sore for a while and I’m trying to rest up and get rid of it… lots of people have been struggling with miserable colds/flu…

kids came, searched and found all of the eggs… we had a lovely lamb roast for our dinner… didn’t realize that daddy wasn’t fond of lamb… oops… maybe that’s why we haven’t had it before… next year we’ll have ham, lol…

  
bit of trouble getting a good photo and some were wondering when they could actually eat… 

after dinner my son-in-law went off to work and the rest of the family headed home…

I am climbing into bed…
