Sunday we opened gifts over the internet, lol…

we always like to cheers together and being 1330 miles apart doesn’t stop us although it took a bit of direction from the kids for me to get my mug in the right spot, lol…

there were lots of treats and great minds thinking alike as we all opened Chapters/Indigo cards…

technology has made such a difference in our lives…

what a treat;-)…

what a treat this morning…

as I was heading downstairs I spotted not one but two bunnies in the garden…

this could explain the numerous paths through the snow;-)…

it always amazes me how those special moments happen… how I just happen to look out the window at that moment…

life is good 😊…

yards…

hadn’t shovelled for a few days so went out on Saturday morning to do the sidewalk so people knew I was alive, lol…

wow… a lot of snow had come down…

besides doing the front sidewalk and a space towards each of the neighbours’ yards for the mail carrier, I also shovel a single path along the driveway to get to the vents for the furnace…

I want to be sure they aren’t plugged with snow, which stops the furnace… not a good look😳…

I’ve been taking the time to enjoy the moments…

one of those moments was my delight at finally getting a stain out of this sweater;-)…

seems like a little thing, but I had tried for ages to get it out… particularly as I have been wearing more long sleeved warm tops…

reminded me of my mom, who loved doing laundry, and could just about remove any stain…

parcels…

it was around zero, so today’s project involved hooking up the extendible hose in the basement and then topping up the hot tub…

in the process of connecting the hose I had to go out to the garage for a washer… at which point I discovered that the garage side door wouldn’t open… I tried the key, as it seemed locked, but that didn’t work…

I went in through the overhead door and tried to open it from that side, but no luck there either…

in previous winters the problem had been that it wouldn’t stay closed, lol…

so, will have to see what happens in the next while, sigh…

spent time in the computer room again yesterday and found additional items for the giveaway collection… happily there were a number of Christmas treasures amongst them…

eventually I was able to bring down the last of the boxes… it was filled with books and was really heavy…

added it to all the other items and had quite the pile…

set the alarm and got up early this morning to get everything onto the steps before eight… in the dark, sigh…

took a while to get them all out there, lol, and by nine they were gone…

it sure feels great to have the closet cleaned out and more space…

particular…

stood at the window and watched chickadees, a nuthatch, and sparrows at the feeders…

and my neighbour shovelling his sidewalk… he is very particular and does a great job every time… it is fun to watch and makes me giggle every time, because my beloved would have been very impressed;-)…

besides shovelling, he also swept the front steps…

Sunday we celebrated my beloved’s birthday…

the kids in Ottawa ordered A&W and I ordered it here… this was as close as we could manage to get burgers which were one of his favourites, lol…

ordering and having the meal delivered makes it easy to meet and eat at a specific time without going crazy in the kitchen trying to get separate meals ready…

we met online and enjoyed our burgers and chatted about him…

whenever we meet up we like to “cheers”… in person or over screens…

after we finished our call, I had one of their apple turnovers… he loved apple pie;-)…

it was a low key and enjoyable way to remember him…

I was watching tv and all of a sudden decided I needed to dig out the Christmas mugs… they haven’t been used for a few years as they were at the bottom of the overflowing closet in the computer room…

so I spent a couple of hours purging…

got down to the mugs, ran them through the dishwasher and changed them out for the current mugs…

in the process, I gathered up six or eight boxes of goodies for the giveaway pile, including two boxes of mugs…

way to go me, lol…

although there are still items all over the room that need to be dealt with…

that is a tomorrow project;-)…
