had a lovely day…
up at 5 to FaceTime and exchange gifts with the Ottawa kids…
my son-in-law was working so he left the house around 6… this year it wasn’t nearly as cold as last, lol… which was good… last year when he headed off it was -40 with the windchill… this morning, when I checked a while after he’d gone it was only -18… practically a heat wave…
everyone was up by about 7:30, so I didn’t even have to bang pots…
thoughtful gifts were shared and everyone was pleased with their haul…
one of my gifts was a lovely top with herons on it and another was a Fitbit Charge 3 which I have been eyeing for quite some time;-)…
we had a sausage, potato, spinach and cheese casserole and then headed off to the movies…
went to see The Grinch at Grant Park… the theatre has what appear to be recliners for everyone to sit in and you pick your seat ahead of time (like on planes)… we sat in the wrong ones but eventually got to the right spot…
then it was on to my house where naps were had by many as the dinner cooked…
supper was ready as the daddy arrived just after 7… delicious turkey dinner followed by his presents, a few minutes of device time and away they went…
a bit of time tidying up and now I am relaxing in front of the tv… wondering how long I will stay awake, lol…

well, what a busy and fun day with my boys…
they came over after an early soccer game and we met for breakfast at the “A“… first time I’ve walked over there in ages…
from there we went shopping and then to the movies… saw Fantastic Beasts, which was great… then back to the mall…
on our way home we stopped at the grocery store to pick up a few final ingredients for our supper…
the oldest grandson arrived just before our meal…
great dinner, the boys tidied up and everyone spent some time on their devices before they headed home…

the final day of my week with the boys while the rest of the family visit the East Coast…
tidied bedrooms, watched videos, went to a movie, read and mowed the grass…
relaxed for the remainder of the day…
we talked about the best things during our time together… biggest hit was our steak and lobster dinner… best camp happening was touching the snake… best thing for the older one was sleeping in and our visit to The Forks… not a bad list, lol…
suitcases, pillows, groceries, backpack and shoes all ready to go… then there were the happy faces as they got picked up, lol…
bye;-)…

inup a little early to be sure I made it to the dentist’s office on time for my cleaning and check-up… looked out the front window and spotted two bunnies across the street, so I had to run and get the camera to take a few photos…
great way to start a Friday;-)…
only waited a few minutes to get in to see the hygienist and everything went well… even the x-rays…
my daughter called me to see if I wanted to go with them to see a movie after work… she picked me up and off we went to their house for Chinese food before the show…
she showed me her new tattoo… George’s signature on her wrist… she’s been thinking about having it done since he died…
at the movie I ate a whole bag of popcorn and am feeling just a little sick now, lol…
they dropped me at my car at the office and on my way home I stopped and got gas for Shadow…
took a picture of the moon while I was waiting for the fill and then when I was home and looked out the window, I noticed the star/planet just below and to the left…
not a great shot of the moon but you can see the planet…
very full day…

inhad a wonderFULL birthday…
started early in the morning with a hot tub where I listened to sparrows and blue jays and watched geese flying over…
talked to my kids here and away, and made a few plans for my trip to Ottawa…
then out for brunch with my BS friends…
we had a great time together, as always, and enjoyed our meal at Elements…
spent the rest of the day with my family… went to the zoo and visited the lions and tigers, played in the new Tundra playground and had a quick drink…
then dinner at The Captain’s Table and a movie…
when I walked into the bedroom one of the glass hearts in the window was glittering, which I haven’t seen before…

got up around 7… sunny and warm outside… beautiful day to spend time in the Butchart Gardens… had a good sleep…
got in the car,picked up McDonalds and were on our way to the Gardens…
we walked around them for six wonderful hours, taking pictures and admiring the scenery… we had ice cream, lunch and Gelati while we were there….
had a nap when we got back to the hotel and then rented a movie and ate snacks…
went to The Keg for dinner and made it back to the hotel rather late as the service was very slow…
having a small glass of Baileys as I finish up today’s post…
