interesting that today I got my flu shot… finally had the chance to check to see if the drug store across the street had the vaccine available…
all over the news tonight they have been talking about how tough and early this year’s flu season might be…
was part of a conversation about why a person might or might not get the shot…
for me, it has to do with my own health, but also with being in proximity of individuals who are immune compromised… I don’t want to cause someone else to get ill because I didn’t take preventive measures;-)…

turned the hose on to top up the pond again yesterday… maybe the wind has been evaporating the water more quickly because it wasn’t particularly hot…
then I got focussed on a few other things… was on my way to the garage to go grocery shopping and decided to check out the poppies before leaving…
when I got over there I realized that the water was still going… turned it off just as it was going to swallow up the bridge…
yikes… that was close…

this morning I had a memory on Facebook of my youngest grandson, as a baby, swinging in a park close by… there was also a picture of he, his older brother and my beloved on the back deck that same day…
just last Friday, when the boys were here, we talked about swinging in that very park…
today, the kids came downtown, spent a few minutes playing Pokemon Go at the Millennium Library Park, and then picked me up for lunch…
we went for dimsum at Kum Koon Garden, our favourite…
they have a stunning salt water fish tank and my grandson took a few pictures for me…
he had my phone because we share a Pokemon Go account so whenever we’re together he is checking out the game, lol…
the point of this story is how lucky I am to have the opportunity to spend time with my kids and grandkids… and how lucky we both were to be able to make memories with our grandchildren…

inbeen a tough week, so last night I treated me to a lovely bouquet of flowers…
didn’t open the package and brought them to the office to perk up my space…
they look and smell wonderful and were a great bit of beauty as we worked on a project… enjoyed the perfume and looked at them many times throughout the day…
from one of my shots I made wallpaper for my phone…
going to take a few more pictures tomorrow before I start work…
lucky to be able to treat myself…
