enjoyed some time in the hot tub this morning…

although, having a hot tub Saturday evening and Sunday morning doesn’t work that well because my water shoes don’t have time to dry completely… they are rather cold and soggy, lol…

watched chickadees and nuthatches come and go to the feeder and have snacks…

a bit later in the day I watched more chickadees and nuthatches in the front yard…

such fun to get to enjoy the moments with the critters all around…

today I trimmed the hibiscus as it has been growing out in all kinds of odd directions…

I’ve read that this isn’t the best time to prune hibiscus, but it really needed to be tidied up…

and then, after I’d removed some branches, I realized that I had cut off buds!

very sad about that… put them in water and set them in the bathroom… hope they might still bloom;-)…

this morning I came across these pictures on Facebook…

they are from eleven years ago… before our youngest grandson was born…

a reminder for me that the boys have helped transfer the fish for many years…

I am able to enjoy these memories most of the time now when I come across them… not nearly so difficult to see photos of my beloved, which is a good thing…

somewhere I have a couple of boxes filled with Halloween decorations…

for the life of me, can’t find them…

so, this year there are two pumpkins, two witches’ hats, a cape and a skeleton to decorate, lol…

but a friend is over… we picked up Za Pizza for supper, and we have goodies to give out…

happy halloween…

beloved, big girl pants, blessed, family, memories, moments, organized, prepared, review, widow, will

recently I’ve heard a lot about Wills…

today on tv they were discussing the need for one, and how most people don’t get that piece of organization done…

I did mine in July of 2012… and I likely need to update it as they mentioned you should review it every five years or so…

amazingly, it has been over seven years since it was written… it was shortly after my beloved died and I was getting ready to have major surgery… I wanted to have my affairs in order on the chance that I didn’t make it… wanted things to be as easy as possible for the girls…

rather proud that I was able to put my fingers on it right away when I went looking, lol…

went for a pedicure with a great friend who I hadn’t seen in quite a while…

it was lovely to spend time together and catch up on one another’s goings on…

when I first started getting pedicures they were very difficult as my feet are sensitive and it was hard to sit through all the cutting, filing, and pushing that is part of the process…

recently that hasn’t been a problem, but this time one foot was just so sensitive that I could barely stand the process…

my esthetician rewarded me with an extra long massage when it was all done;-)…

and I have pretty toes again…

been laughing off and on for days…

all of a sudden, a few days ago, it sounded like the computer was making a noise each time I received a text message or phone call on my iPhone…

it was kind of creeping me out…

a few nights ago, while I was on the phone with my daughter I heard it again and then I heard something fall…

that’s when I started laughing because I realized that it was the old Fitbit which I had put on the shelf in the hall and hadn’t disconnected…

it was vibrating and responding to each text and call and eventually vibrated right off the shelf…

found it on the stairs, lol…

interesting that today I got my flu shot… finally had the chance to check to see if the drug store across the street had the vaccine available…

all over the news tonight they have been talking about how tough and early this year’s flu season might be…

was part of a conversation about why a person might or might not get the shot…

for me, it has to do with my own health, but also with being in proximity of individuals who are immune compromised… I don’t want to cause someone else to get ill because I didn’t take preventive measures;-)…

big girl pants, blessed, customer service, Fitbit, moments, replacement, Technology, version, widow

I’ve had a Fitbit for 5 years and I really like it…

in that time I’ve probably had about three versions of them…

I’ve also had a few replaced due to various problems…

last week I sent them a photo of my Fitbit screen as it had been filled with gray lines for about a week…

they responded the same day and offered up a few suggestions as to what I might try… after I tried their ideas and nothing changed, they advised that my Fitbit was still under warranty so they sent me a replacement, which arrived yesterday…

last night I set it up and it is working perfectly…

they sure provide excellent customer service…

this little flower made me think of all those I know who are hanging on by a thread for a variety of reasons… even though it has been cold and snowy it is still blooming…

I was also thinking of a friend’s comment that they couldn’t pull out the plants that were still flowering in their garden, lol…

beauty is all around us, if we just take a moment to look…
