went out for le burger week…

started at Kristina’s on Corydon, where we had a Saginaki Lamb burger which we shared…

it was a mix of beef and lamb and was delicious… we ordered fries to go with it and they were also very tasty… the wait staff were efficient and friendly… we even got a piece of cake with our bill…

a lovely atmosphere… hadn’t been there for a long time but will try to get back there again soon…

next, we went to the edge of St. James to Original Joe’s where we shared the Big Pierogski which came with fries…

they brought it on two plates for us, so that was nice…

it was a good burger and we ate every bite, lol… the fries were fine and our server pleasant…

certainly a different vibe, and a bit dark… probably showing my age, 😂… interesting to see the difference between a privately owned restaurant and a chain on the same evening;-)…

we did spend quite some time online, deciding on which burgers we’d like to taste and where we wanted to go…

it was a fun outing and I thoroughly enjoyed it;-)…

a few days ago my Fitbit wouldn’t connect to my phone… very odd…

then, all of a sudden, the screen went black… I put it on the charger, but that didn’t make a difference…

eventually I went online and found instructions on how to restart the Charge 5…

I followed the instructions and put it on the charger overnight…

happily, it worked perfectly after that;-)…

so excited this morning when the new phone case I ordered awhile ago, via Etsy, arrived in the mailbox…

it has a slightly bigger wallet portion so I was hopeful it would let me add a few additional cards to it…

it came in a lovely black felt envelope which I will be able to use for something else;-)… the colour is a pale mauve and it has a strap so it can be worn like a crossbody bag…

it does have more room for cards which makes me very happy as I no longer carry a purse…

it is a touch thicker, so I am getting used to that, but so far I am very pleased…

although I didn’t think I’d use the strap, I have found it quite handy, lol…

well, that was fun;-)…

ordered an arched trellis online and it arrived a few days ago… I was a little worried because the package was taped up a lot and I wondered if all the pieces were going to be inside…

I hadn’t planned to put it together until the snow was gone, but was a bit worried about missing pieces and what I would do if I didn’t sort it out till later…

when it was undone, some of the bags appeared to have been opened and then re-closed… and, there were no instructions…

took a while, but after looking at the information from the link where I bought it, it came together nicely…

currently it is in three pieces… the two sides and the arch… not sure I could get it outside if I join it all together… the final two cross pieces and screws are waiting to finish it up…

might take the pieces out to the garage and finish it, or just wait for the snow in the side garden to melt so I can put it in its new home…

sure hope it fits the way I want…

I’ve been waiting and waiting for stamps to arrive from Canada Post…

was able to drop some items in the mail a few days ago, but still need two stamps…

usually they arrive quickly, so I’ve been wondering what the problem was…

for whatever reason, I wasn’t sleeping, so went online around 2 am and noticed there were things in my Canada Post cart😳…

apparently, I didn’t finish the purchase all those days ago😂…

now they’ve been ordered and should really arrive soon…

while he was here, my son-in-law searched online for a spring for the patio door to replace the one which had broken ages ago…

he found one, ordered it, and it arrived on Friday, well after he left for home… there were no instructions, but I figured out how it should work…

it came with stickers to hold it to the wall and door, but they wouldn’t work for my situation…

I dug out two screws that were just the right size… from all the containers in the garage, lol… then I found a drill bit to start the holes so the wood wouldn’t split…

used the sticker as a template and made the holes… then was able to get the screws in and the hook as well…

it is working well, although it makes quite a slamming noise when it closes, so I will have to get used to that;-)…

going to be fun to see how the kids react😁…

took me five hours, working off and on, to put together the new chairs, footstools, and table that I ordered a week or so ago and which arrived on Saturday…

had to take bits and pieces out of the large box that arrived on the front step, make a few trips to the back deck… and then drag the box to the back…

of course the directions were just pictures and it took me a while to decipher them…

biggest issue was working between the lattice on the sides of the chairs, but eventually I got it all done and had a lovely time resting on one of the chairs with my feet on the pull out footstool, lol…

needed that…

received my new earbuds…

two or three weeks ago my pretty Samsung Earbuds just stopped working… all of a sudden they wouldn’t pair with my phone… of course they were not under warranty… the service department suggested I have them repaired locally but the local people advised they would have to send them away… it was going to cost $55 if they sent them away and I decided not to have them repaired… and it wasn’t clear how much the repair might cost…

I thought about it for quite a while and did a ton of research before deciding on these ones…

I want them mainly for phone calls which meant there weren’t that many options and ones that would be comfortable in my ears…

I finally ordered them on Wednesday, and they were delivered on Friday;-)…

they were easy to pair with my iPhone and music sounds good…

will have to see how they are on phone calls…

wish me luck;-)…

I’ve been checking around for purple butterfly bush with no success… last year I was able to get some from a local nursery, but they haven’t been able to acquire any this season…

eventually I found some online at Home Depot, so I ordered them… wasn’t sure what I would get, but was hopeful…

Friday, two boxes were delivered and the plants looked good…

I decided to keep them in the house until later in the day, when I put them in a shady spot to get used to being outside…

very happy with the purchase… hoping they enjoy their new homes in the garden…

recently had a phone call with a friend… she was stressing about getting gifts for Christmas… I suggested she do a bit of online shopping although she hasn’t done much of that…

made me think about all the items I have purchased online over the last month in preparation for the big day…

and how I learned from someone else that I could order from IKEA and have items delivered directly to my house…

very happy to replace my broken measuring cup and think this steamer will work well in my Instant Pot…

I have ordered from many places I didn’t even know existed… and have also been able to get some local items delivered across the country…

there has been lots of learning in 2020…
