been doing a bit of reading on taking better photos with my iPhone…

today I spent some time working on a reflection picture… here’s one of the pictures that came out fairly well… maybe not as dark as it should have been…

then it was out and about for lunch and our play at PTE…

lunch was a lovely treat…salad rolls and a noodle bowl at Nhu Quynh on Ellice… delicious, and I even managed to bring some home for tomorrow…

the Christmas decorations at Portage Place were pretty, so I took a few pictures… then on to the play… the set was made up of suitcases… very cool…

had some of a dark chocolate Callebaut bar... delicious…

then home for a nap… was up very early this morning…

in & out…

excellent day…

this morning the service person arrived and fixed the hot tub… hurray…

not sure if it will be up to temp tonight or tomorrow so that I can get in it…

bit of time playing on the computer and then lunch out with my BS buddies to celebrate a birthday…

wonderful time at Cafe Ce Soir… I had asparagus and shrimp soup; chicken liver pate with peppercorn white wine aspic; and pecan pie… the birthday girl had fun…

it is a lovely spot… small with fresh flowers on every table, attentive staff and delicious food… can’t get much better than that…

we had a nice chat with the owner/chef… those are his birkenstocks in the picture, lol…

and then, home for a nap;-)…

finally got back to ordering ChefsPlate meals… took the summer off as we were camping a fair bit and there were so many fresh veggies in the Markets…

on Wednesday my first box arrived… I had chosen two meatless options and one beef… filled the fridge up, lol…

life had been very full so I haven’t had an opportunity to make anything until tonight…

chose a delicious Beef Taco Salad… it had watermelon radishes, which were beautiful to look at and tasted a bit spicy… first time I’ve tried them…

happy to have the time to make the meal… it is always fun to follow the directions and see what turns out… saved the second half separately so that nothing will be soggy… just need to combine and eat;-)…

looking forward to a weekend of figure skating on tv…

good thing that I have lunch already prepared for tomorrow…

many…

flight arrived around 4:15 yesterday and my son-in-law picked me up and brought me home…

was contemplating a nap, but my daughter texted wanting to know if I wanted to go to ManyFest with her, the younger boys, and a friend’s three year old twins… said yes, thinking it would be a bit later in the day… they arrived about half an hour later… no nap for me, lol…

had fun with all the kids and stood in many lines for food… we were quite the little parade as we travelled around the site… there are always many people…

managed to get this picture of the Golden guy as we were walking around…

I don’t remember turning off the tv, but it was off this morning… apparently I was tired…

happy to wander around the garden this morning and check on all my flowers…

the morning glories were blooming and I took a few pictures because I really missed them… the hibiscus had many flowers and buds…

usually the kids come for dinner on Sunday, but today lunch worked better for them… my grandson picked me up and we went downtown to meet the others and have crepes…

only the second time I’ve been to Kawai Crepes and it was delicious…

and then we went to see The Emoji Movie… it was very cute… I ate nearly a whole bag of popcorn…

they headed to their place… I stopped and picked up a few groceries, came home, watered the garden and did many loads of laundry… roasted a chicken for lunches this week and watched a bit of tv…

been a busy few days… had imagined that I would have time to rest up before heading back to work, lol…

going to bed…

wonderful day…

lunch out with a friend… went to The Forks…


ordered a tasty lunch… 


caught up on our lives and discussed a project we are working on together… this is great because we haven’t worked together on anything for quite a while…

and then tonight I spent time with two wonderful women working on the same project… we had laptops, iPhones and telephones to get us through the meeting, lol…


so much more fun to work with others on any project…

pretty special day…

took a drive outside the city for lunch today…

landed at the Summit Cafe in Stony Mountain…

cute little place with a penny covered floor…

we were the first to arrive and they had set up a table for 12… gave us a bit of extra time with the menu…

I chose the Spicy Shrimp Grilled Cheese…

oh my, it was delicious… had half of it and brought the remainder home for dinner tomorrow…

got a  great shot of the group…

wonderful day with some really special people…

there were sparkles everywhere today… 

my chair at work, the floor, the seat of the car… even my face, I think… too funny… but I really like the t-shirt… enjoyed spotting the places where the sparkles were and spending a moment giggling to myself…

ate at the new Japanese restaurant across the street from work… at lunch they have a few bento boxes to choose from, as well as the usual sushi options…

lunch was delicious and the visit with my friend was wonderful, as always…

so happy to have special moments like these and be able to take the time to savour them…

last night I made soup for our Souper Thursday lunch…

was really simple… had picked up two Tortilla Soup Fiesta mixes from The Stak Co...

dumped the two packages into a pot and added water…


cooked it on top of the stove for a couple of hours… added canned tomatoes and it was done…

prepared toppings of shredded cheese, sour cream, green onions, cilantro, avocado and broke up some tortillas…

everyone in the club brings additional items to round out the meal… so we had salad, tomatoes and three types of bread – we haven’t had bread for the last few times and apparently we were all missing it…

delicious and enjoyable… always enjoy time sitting down to a meal together amongst the busyness…

more fun today…

got to shop right in the office when a client brought in some nighties and pyjamas… she had a lot of purple and mauve, lol…

lovely colours and beautiful work… 

the most important thing for me is the feel of fabric… I have been known to feel an article of clothing on someone else without asking… 

chose a very soft nightie with little purple hearts… it is being shortened for me… seems like my favourite sleepwear is soft like a worn t-shirt but a bit longer… 

then it was off to Nick’s on Broadway…

have heard about this spot before but today was my first visit… been craving grilled cheese so ordered one which came with coleslaw and a pickle… it was okay, but not something I would order again…

great visit with a friend and former colleague… we’ve gone through some very complicated and stressful times together… always a treat to spend time with her…

back at the office had some success with computers and solved a few problems…

a good day…

what a wonderful day off… not exactly as planned…

started with a walk around the pond at the Birchwood Automotive Group to see the geese… at first there were two and then three others arrived… little bit of  discussion amongst them before they became friends…

from there I headed off to lunch with a great friend who is having a birthday tomorrow… excellent meal and fun to be together…

always have lots to talk about, lol…

came home to find my sister-in-law had arrived from Calgary… it is always special when we have time together… before she moved to Calgary, besides spending family time, we also worked with one another… 

we ran out and did a bit of grocery shopping… she found this cute tray for me…

back home we had a snack and waited for my nephew to pick her up… once they left I had a nap and made dinner…

picked up a beautiful purple calla lily…
