Monday afternoons our longtime group meets…

we used to meet in the evening when we all worked, lol… since we are all retired now, we’ve moved to the afternoon… for some of the pandemic we met online and since the spring we’ve been meeting in the garden… then we moved into the garage for a while…

we moved into the house in the fall… for a number of weeks, I left the front and back doors slightly open and we wore our masks until everyone was sitting down…

now, the doors are closed and we no longer wear masks, but I still bring the coffee into the living room, where we gather;-)…

everyone drinks decaf, except me and my tea…

we often have pistachios and sometimes folks bring other treats… a great time of conversation and sharing…

what a gift these women have been for me…

had a great time making Christmas dinner a few days ago…

made the stuffing, cooked a very small turnip and simmered the neck and liver for hours to make a great stock for the gravy…

after the turkey was stuffed and in the oven we enjoyed the smell as we set the table…

potatoes were mashed, gravy was made, turkey was carved, sides turned up on the counter, and dinner was served…

it has been lovely to get to spend time with Ron’s mom… in all the time they’ve been married we’ve never met… we ended the evening with some selfie fun…

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…

this is a picture of the box my new phone came in…

good news is I got a new iPhone 7…

the bad news… I got the new phone because I believe my phone was stolen this afternoon… gone, right from my desk, sigh…

I discovered this about fifteen minutes before having to go into a three hour meeting…

thankfully my daughter was able to call MTS and have the phone locked and then sort out what I had to do to get a new one…

after the meeting I went to the mall where I spent about an hour with the MTS people and then another forty-five minutes at the Apple Store…

since I arrived home I’ve been working to replace everything on my phone…

here’s a lesson… back your phone up on a regular basis, sigh… 

now to see when I last backed up to my computer…

excellent day at work… fabulous brainstorming session followed by fun with technology in preparation for the evening’s training session…

when I arrived home I found this treat in the mailbox…

one of my favourite cookies… imperial cheese cookies made with Rice Krispies… just like a breakfast cookie…

friend came over for a visit, glass of wine and hot tub… couldn’t get much better;-)…

I have the best friends…

recently took part in a conversation about how people met their significant other… reminded me of how our life together began…

forty-seven years ago today my beloved and I got engaged… we took our parents to Rae and Jerry’s for dinner to celebrate his 21st birthday… and announced our engagement at the same time…

we met in the Spring, shared an instant connection and had seen one another every day since… it really was love at first sight… 

he had come over to visit a friend who was living with us at the time… the friend worked at the garage that George’s dad owned and where George also worked…

we found the perfect ring together…

it was actually an engagement ring and the wedding ring which we had joined together…

funny because he had an amount in mind about what it should cost and was insistent on getting something that fit that budget… we picked it and he went in every few weeks to put money down on it so it would be paid off by his birthday;-)… in those days people didn’t buy much on credit…

I haven’t worn it for a number of years but will wear it today as a reminder of our amazing life together…

I have been, and continue to be, blessed…

beautiful day… sunny and plus 18 Celsius… what a treat…

luckily I had two meetings away from the office, so got an opportunity to be outside… another treat…

was picked up by my daughter and we seemed to fly to my grandson’s volleyball game… it was a few minutes away from where my doctor’s appointment was…

IMG_8956.JPGgreat to see him play… third treat of the day…

after the appointment I was in a cab and on my way home by 6:20 pm…

made a bit of supper, tidied the kitchen and vegged in front of the TV…

wonderful day…
