went to the grocery store first thing on Friday… good time to go as it wasn’t busy and I got my shopping done in less than thirty minutes…

once home and everything was put away, I set out the cushions and spent a lovely time reading…

received a call from a friend driving through and invited them for supper… then I spent the next while preparing my world famous, (well family and friends anyway), macaroni and cheese;-)…

once that was done, I went back to my book…

my company arrived, we had a short visit in the garden, ate the delicious mac and cheese, and off they went… all inside an hour;-)…

had a plan to take a photo of the finished pot, but forgot, lol… did remember to take a picture of my plate… packed up the leftovers for another day;-)…

tidied up and enjoyed the garden as I read outside until it got dark…

lovely treat;-)…

my daughter came to town and was here for about 12 hours between Saturday and Sunday…

she was passing through, helping a friend drive from B.C. to Ontario… the friend, her dad, and their dog spent the night with us…

we had supper when they arrived, enjoyed some garden time that evening and the next morning and then they headed off after breakfast;-)…

both meals were requested and it was fun to make her favourite macaroni and cheese and satisfy her friend’s desire for pancakes…

such a treat to see her and meet this friend who I’ve heard much about, but never had the opportunity to meet…

it was a whirlwind…

I had a craving for macaroni and cheese… well I really wanted lobster mac and cheese, but didn’t have any lobster… I did have shrimp so decided on shrimp macaroni and cheese…

macaroni and cheese has been one of our family favourites… whenever I visit my daughter it is on the list of things that I must make, lol…

I was going to use oat milk instead of 2% regular milk which I didn’t have, but was told it wouldn’t turn out the way I am used to…

I cooked the macaroni and set it in the fridge to cool… then I contacted a friend and they brought me the milk as they were coming over anyway… yay…

once you’ve got a craving it is hard not to make what you want…

I made two pots… one with shrimp and bacon and one with only bacon…

I am going to package some up for the next few days and freeze some for down the road;-)…

it was absolutely delicious and I may have eaten two bowls;-)…

up early and prepared homemade macaroni and cheese… one of my daughter’s favourites…

packed up all my stuff, including a new Lug bag that my daughter got for me a few months ago…

then we headed to the Mall for a little bit of shopping… in the end she found a jacket and shorts and I got a new phone case…

we spent a fun hour at a cool kitchen store checking out all types of gadgets…

home to pick up the luggage, load the paddleboard on the roof and make our way to the airport…

had a snack and I headed through security to catch my flight…

from goodbye to Ottawa, the WestJet Connect app showing we were over Winnipeg, to coming in over the river and touchdown…

I had a great visit and enjoyed every minute…

as I was walking down the ramp to the airplane I was thinking of how blessed I have been… travelling by air has become old hat and having the resources, both financial and time, that allow me to visit my kids…

Christmas has begun… my Ottawa daughter is home for the holidays… 

took this picture of the hot tub when I returned home from running errands this afternoon… looks pretty although not so good that the ice is all the way down the wall;-(…

as I headed to the airport this beautiful sunset stopped me in my tracks…

it was still light when I arrived and I waited in the car, watching for the plane…

wasn’t very long till it landed, but the light was certainly gone on this winter solstice evening…

the plane was very, very, very, big…

home to her favourite dinner of macaroni and cheese, made by mom…

then we had some chocolate after she took the appropriate pictures for her Instagram account @peacecyndi… it was fun to watch her at work…

the leather and walnut bite we shared was delicious and then we had some of my coconut, candied violet with gold flakes Advent chocolate bar from ChocoMe…

it is lovely to look at and quite tasty…

now for a hot tub and bed…
