it is my normal pattern to look out the bedroom window when I get up to check the weather and see if the snow has melted, or more has fallen, or whether the sun is shining, lol…

this morning I was surprised when I looked out and spotted Indi… she is home for a few days so that we have transportation while the guest is still here and because of all the snow there wasn’t room to go into the garage…

there were also treats… I received this lovely Monet bookmark from Paris which matches the sweet tray I was given the other day;-)… I put it right into the book I was reading…

and a bit later in the day this ice cream cone arrived… yum, haven’t had one since my booster shot…

we ended the day working on the puzzle I ordered quite some time ago – which I hadn’t been able to connect the edge pieces, so I had packed it up and put it away in disgust…

in about an hour the border was done… hmmm, what a difference a little help makes;-)…

every minute has been delightful…

it has been two and a half years since I last saw this girl in person…

and something like four years since she’s been home…

I am delighted and look forward to making the most of these next few days…

so far, we’ve eaten chocolate and macarons and I got the cutest tray from Paris with Monet’s NYMPHEAS (water lilies)… it was a lovely reminder of a wonderful visit the two of us had to a museum in New York…

more lazy days, tons of conversation, favourite foods, and walks outside are on the agenda;-)…

what a wonderful treat this is…

bills…

seems like there have been a lot of bills that need to be paid lately…

one from the accounting folk who did my taxes… a big one for the taxes… thought we had it figured out and had the right amount being withheld to cover the taxes… not so much… maybe next year…

got my credit card statement and was surprised a bit by how much the exchange turned out to be on purchases in New York… 

spoke with the new cleaning people today and the good news is that I shouldn’t have to give them any more money until August… looking forward to seeing how the house will look when they are done…

have also had the other type of bills – money…

still have some American cash… haven’t quite decided what to do with it… maybe I should plan another trip over the border, lol…

always have some money in my purse because I don’t want to be caught without any cash on me if I need it…

received a postcard with Monet water lilies on it which we stood and admired in MoMA… 

  
I love water lilies… looking forward to seeing some in the pond this summer…

NYC day 3…

started the day with a carousel ride in some cool fish at Seaglass… followed by a cruise on one of the rivers, a view of the Statue of Liberty, a visit with Monet’s water lilies, a wander through St. John the Divine, and an evening ride on the water…

  
the cool fish in the carousel… 

 
selfie with the Brooklyn Bridge… the other girls were taking lots of pictures with the Statue of Liberty…

  
me and the water lilies… 

  
purple flowers, water and a giant rose… what more could a person ask for… ate lunch in the Cafe in MoMA before meeting the other girls and we headed off to the cathedral…

 
beautiful rose windows… reminded me of the lovely one in Bryce Hall…

seemed like it was a water themed day… 

busy, busy…
