beloved, big girl pants, blessed, deck, garden, happy, hot tub, light, memories, miss, moments, nature, Technology, time, widow

sitting in the hot tub last night, remembering my beloved on what would have been his 72nd birthday, I was reminded of all the fun things we have done together during our forty plus years…

I’d been wanting a hot tub since our anniversary many years ago when he rented one for a weekend, but we couldn’t afford one until 2009…

once I chose the one I wanted, he built a deck to put it on, and then a deck to go in front of it… easy to get to, it is now perfect for dips… he never loved the hot tub the way I did, but wanted me to be happy…

when we had friends over (you remember that, right?) for a hot tub, if we needed a drink or towel or anything, we’d bang on the wall of the house and he would come out to see what was required, lol… he’d also take photos when I wanted them…

with the new security light/camera on the garage, I have to go to the side door of the garage and turn off the power so that the light doesn’t keep coming on while I’m in the tub… thankfully the deck goes right there so it is easy to get to and from…

some of our best talks happened late at night in this hot tub… I sure do miss him…

tea…

beloved, big girl pants, brilliant, Ginger Peach, memories, miss, remembering, skating, Tea, teabags, teamate, widow

on Thursday I ran across to the CityPlace Farmers Market looking to refresh my stash of Teamate loose tea…

I really love their Ginger Peach and often make it in the evening using my wonderful Wall left handed tea mug… but sometimes it feels like too much effort… I usually make tea in a thermos, take the bag out after it has steeped and then have it for the next while… I don’t want to use loose tea in my thermos as it would be very difficult to get it clean afterwards…

a friend mentioned they had suggested to the tea person that they should put it into teabags… what a brilliant idea…

as it happens I have tea bags from David’s Tea, so I filled a few and then put them back into the empty Teamate package…

this morning I used one of those bags…

worked perfectly… and way less work…

made me think of my beloved… our all time favourite tea was Apricot Ginger from Twinings… we were so sad when it was discontinued and we never did find a good replacement… until now…

I’ve spent the day watching figure skating… drinking my tea and remembering how my beloved would watch tv in the basement, particularly when I was watching skating, so he wouldn’t have to watch it, lol…

sure do miss him…

spoiled…

big girl pants, dinner, Grandpa, grandsons, miss, Rice Krispie cake, spoiled, treats, widow

well, talk about being spoiled…

this morning a colleague brought me homemade Rice Krispie squares… she remembered, from one of our conversations, that this is one of my favourite treats… I had shared how my sister-in-law made a 25 with Rice Krispie cake and those little silver dragees for our twenty fifth anniversary…

my grandson picked me up after work and took me home to their house, where my son-in-law had prepared a lovely dinner…

it is such a treat to have dinner all ready when you get home…

while I was doing the dishes with my middle grandson he asked if I missed grandpa… this was particularly interesting because early in the day I had dissolved into tears after reading a comment that my daughter had put onto social media where she mentioned how much she missed her dad…

I sure do miss my beloved… every day,..

ended the day watching the oldest grandson playing volleyball where I discovered that another colleague’s niece goes to school with my grandson… too funny;-)…

Vicks…

beloved, big girl pants, cold, hot toddy, memories, miss, sock, Vicks, Vicks VapoRub, widow

last night I dug out the Vicks…

been struggling with this cold since about Tuesday and was trying to figure out what to try…

really wanted a hot toddy, but the alcohol and honey are not really on the list of things to put into my body nowadays…

brought back such dear memories of my beloved… 

when he’d get a cold he would slather his chest with Vicks VapoRub, wrap a worn sock around his neck and head to bed…

the entire bedroom would reek… but he always claimed it worked for him…it was something his family had done for years, lol…

I only put it under my nose, although I couldn’t even tell it was there, because I couldn’t smell anything…

tonight I may put a bit more on and see how I feel in the morning…

sure do miss my beloved…

holding hands…

Facebook post, holding hands, love of my life, miss, walk in the park

saw a Facebook post that suggested holding hands with your sweetie… brought tears to my eyes…

reminded me of one of the things that I miss the most…  holding hands…

George and the boys...

George and the boys…

we held hands whenever we were out… walking into the store from the car, taking a walk in the park, on our way to the mall, walking down the sidewalk… even sitting beside one another in the house… 

sometimes the little boys will hold my hand…

used to make the girls gag when they were young, then as they got older, they thought it was cute…

he was the love of my life and I miss him and his hand…

holding hands...

holding hands…
