the book stair library has been moved into the den in anticipation of trees and advent boxes…
I will just have to remember where they are when I finish my current book, lol…
right now the stairs look a bit naked…

was very happy on Sunday afternoon when a new supply of Fern Michaels books arrived…
I was on the last two books, so it was perfect timing;-)…
I also got a container of homemade potato salad, woohoo…
took a bit of time on Monday to add them to the stair library;-)… before setting them on the steps, I had to sort them in order…
lots of great reading ahead;-)…

we went to the oldest grandson’s other set of grandparents the other day for supper and had a lovely visit…
before we left I had access to their library where I got a bunch of books by an author that I had just discovered – Fern Michaels… the shelves looked much tidier before all the books came out, lol…
she also had two new Nora Roberts books I have been waiting for…
we filled a grocery box, woohoo…
I added them to the stair library in order and now I have reading material for the remainder of the summer;-)…
what a wonderful treat;-)… once the Olympics are over I will get down to some serious reading…

Friday morning I put on my runners and went for a walk… first time in months as I’ve been worried about snow and ice…
I also took a book to drop at the Little Library on the next street…
I didn’t take my usual path as I wanted to collect Poké balls while I was out… went up to Portage, down the next street and then detoured past an area that had lots of Pokéstops and collected various items along the way… finished along another main drag until I was back at my street…
might do that again as I continue to walk further each time I go out…
interesting that I didn’t take a single photo, lol…
nice to be checking out the neighbourhood again and looking forward to getting to the Park soon;-)…

very happy to have Shadow’s proper tires on… my son-in-law came by the office this morning, picked her up, took her home, and removed the winter tires… she looks so pretty with her sporty ones… now she needs a bath… maybe next week…
at lunch I went for a short walk, to catch pokeballs, and stopped in at the Millennium Library gift shop…
I can always find something to buy there… today it was two McIntosh loon mugs… they are Robert Bateman designs… I love his art…
wrote about the last McIntosh mugs I bought a while back…
had a bit of a giggle tonight when I realized they are meant for right handed people… the loons are located on the mug so when I’m holding it I won’t see them… someone suggested I take selfies and then I could see the loon in the picture, lol…
been a while since I’ve had to deal with my handedness… most things are automatic and I don’t even realize I’m making adjustments to deal with the item/situation…
