beauty is surrounding me… blessed…
first thing in the morning the orchids and hibiscus greet me… it is exciting to see which ones are getting ready to open… wondering how many might open at once…
at the office more orchids are blooming…
more are getting buds;-)…

well, I did it…
sorted out all the information, and there was a lot of it… decided to take the step… and announced my retirement as of the end of the year…
excited and a bit scared… going to be a new path on the journey…
reminds me of all the years I was at home from the time the girls were born until they were in high school…
going to take some time recharging and spending time with family… more opportunities to smell the flowers, lol…
will have time to get caught up on the newest technology, woo hoo…
then thinking of doing some volunteer work around social media and proofreading;-)…
fun times ahead…
wrote more about retirement a few years ago…
those big girl pants, lol…

fun day with my grandsons…
met the three of them for dimsum… we haven’t been for ages so it was a great treat… felt a bit sad that their daddy was working so couldn’t come because he had mentioned it just last week, lol…
from there the youngest and I ran a few errands… we picked up fish food, birdseed and a few groceries… we also found a wreath for the front door;-)…
once we got home we put everything away and then he filled the reindeer Advent calendar with chocolate covered raisins… that was a lot of fun, and every drawer is jam packed…
we made nachos with bacon for supper and watched a few episodes of the Holiday Baking Championship…
his big brother came and picked him up and I am recovering in front of the tv;-)…

made fish and chips for my supper recently…
the house smelled of cooking oil… triggered some lovely memories…
on aquasize night when I got home, there would always be fish and chips ready…
and my beloved made the world’s best french fries…

beloved, big girl pants, blessed, blog, followers, loss, memories, moments, Technology, widow
just reached 350 followers on WordPress…
laughed the other day when a friend introduced me and said that I had 3000 followers… really made me giggle, lol… 300… 3000… very close;-)…
it has taken six years to reach that number…
had me thinking of the changes over that time… how the blog has gone from information on what to do when you become a widow/widower to my daily life…
my life really has been blessed… as I continue to put on those big girl pants…
