yesterday there was fresh fluffy snow covering the ground… it also dusted the wreath at the front door…
the sidewalk always looks so beautiful under a fresh snowfall… more so if you don’t need to walk out there…
this morning the icicles were shining in the sunlight as I left the house and then a bit later I spotted this deer as I was out and about…
the sun shining all day was a wonderful bonus;-)…

on our way into work yesterday caught this photo of a plane coming in to land… headed right towards us…
and on our way home we got to see a bendy bus…
coming and going, lol…

woke up this morning thinking of my beloved… he’s been gone for seven and a half years, and I miss him every day…
I try not to use the same photos in more than one medium, but this is one of my favourites, so I am sharing it broadly…
he would have been 71… in his honour I made bacon and eggs over easy for breakfast, lol…
put on a purple plaid shirt and jeans… he was always in jeans and had a favourite plaid shirt that he often wore…
after a busy day, my grandson met me at work, we ran a few errands and had dinner out…
ended our meal with apple crisp and ice cream… my beloved made the best apple pie;-)…
lovely day filled with happy memories…

went to the Outlet Mall with my grandson… had savoury crepes for lunch… very tasty, but a little messy to eat, lol…
from there we visited quite a few shoe stores before he found just the right pair…
then we spent some time in the Calvin Klein store… the shopping didn’t take long, prices were great, but the line-up to pay was rather tedious…
there were lots of beautiful decorations wherever we walked…
always great to spend time with this kind young man…

busy but productive day…
started with an early morning meeting to do some work on a program that I am looking forward to learning more about… was great to catch up with the other two participants… we had some lovely snacks while we worked…
once that was done, I was picked up by a good friend and we headed to PTE…
on the way we stopped for bread and had lunch at the Pho Hoang… not sure why I look at the menu, because I always choose the steak and brisket pho, lol…
had leftovers to bring home for tomorrow…
we enjoyed The Wedding Party… amazing what 6 people can do;-)…
home to take it easy for the evening;-)…

my camera fell off a table at work at the beginning of November…
the viewfinder popped off… this camera doesn’t have the old-fashioned type of viewfinder, only the electronic version…
I tried to stick it back on, but the screen remained black… can’t really take photos when you can’t see what is in the viewer… was so upset that I didn’t even get a shot of the before, lol…
called the photo store only to discover I purchased the camera last September… so, no warranty, sigh…
then I called the camera hospital and sent it over by courier so that it could get repaired before the holiday season…
it has been a long time, but this morning it returned to the office… put my memory card back in and took a few photos right away…
so happy to have it back… I enjoy my iPhone camera but have really missed this one…

had a delightful afternoon with a dear friend…
she makes decorating for the season so much fun… both of us are team players and we work well together…
we did some of the usual set-ups and then tried something new… we hung a collection of wreaths together on the wall… looks good…
I can’t even say how many collections I have… more and more I am bringing out less and less… I think that January and February might be a good time to go through the boxes and pass many items along to others…
the living room looks lovely and spending time together brought out my holiday spirit;-)…

great time with my boys today…
we went out for lunch, did some shopping, and emptied and refilled the hot tub in under an hour…
that was pretty amazing because usually it takes about five hours to do this… think I will use this process in the future…
found out that the PVRs are broken, which explained why neither I or the guys could get any of them working… set up an appointment for someone to come out and do a repair during the week… missing a number of shows, sigh…
finally, we added a light strip along the staircase… it is going to be a great addition to my Google Home…
much cleaner looking than the twinkle lights were;-)…
ended our time with dinner in, and then they were off to watch the Jets game at home…

I’ve been thinking about life a lot lately having to sort through the finances with my financial planner to make sure that I could actually afford to stop working…
thinking of how different our life would have been if my beloved were still here and we were doing this planning together…
missing him a lot these days…
this time was supposed to be fun for the two of us together, but now it will only be me and a new curve on my journey…
I’m looking forward to it but I sure wish that he was here with me…
the view out the window tonight…

spent a good portion of my day dealing with technology…
and then I arrived home to discover that the PVR isn’t working;-(…
going to leave it until the morning to sort out because not all that time was happy and I don’t want to have to struggle more today, lol…
