had fun documenting my daughter’s activities as she made various rubbings in the garden for a book she is making;-)…

she has been doing this all the way from Vancouver Island…

she wandered around the garden using sheets of paper and the side of different coloured crayons…

some of the rubbings worked beautifully, others, not so much… she also took a few items to add into the book…

but I am sure that the finished product will be beautiful;-)…

beloved, big girl pants, google, maps, moments, paper, Technology, widow

a few years ago my daughter introduced me to the Google maps app…

I have really found it to be helpful…

I’m a visual person and like to know where I am going, so looking up an address and then seeing a picture of the spot, or something close by is very reassuring…

I have to take back the crutches I rented from the hospital and now know exactly where I have to go… takes the stress out of finding a new place, lol…

reminded me of trying to find things in the past with a paper map… trying to unfold and refold, depending on the spot we were trying to get to… and rarely getting it put back correctly… sometimes there might have been some grumbling…

technology can be wonderful;-)…

big girl pants, conversation, edit, hot tub, motivation, organize, paper, snow, sun, widow

didn’t make it out to the hot tub last night, but first thing this morning I put on my water boots and trod through the snow to enjoy a great time in the tub…

  
wasn’t too chilly and the sun was shining… 

  

squirrels and blue jays were dashing about with peanuts… the hot tub is a bit overfull so the water was right up to my neck…

had a giggle as I walked back to the house…

  
was just a few weeks ago that I was sitting in this very chair having lunch and getting a bit of sun…

came in and was watching some tv… having trouble getting motivated but a conversation with my daughter helped get me off my butt and doing some organizing in the computer room and bedroom…

  
hard to tell from this picture, but I shredded bags full of paper and packed a box of goodies to give away while organizing my paper supplies… always happy when I can let go of things at the same time as I am looking at them, lol…

still have some work to do in there, lol… 

also spent some time editing jewelry and knick knacks in the bedroom… might have been wise to only focus on one room at a time…

Stacks of paper…

maintained files, organized, paper, system

being organized is easy for me at work, but a bit more difficult at home…

since George’s death I have received mounds of paper…  I organized files for all the different topics: CPP, life insurance, creditors, his work, funeral home, etc…

stacks of paper...

stacks of paper…

the pile was rather tall, but proved very helpful when I would contact or hear back from any of the people/organizations with regard to the various things that had to be done…

I maintained the files very well while I needed them, but am realizing that they are currently stacked up on the desk and haven’t been filed yet… oh well, maybe on the weekend I can tackle that desk…

I am still trying to find a good system to deal with the bills and other important info that comes in the mail…

really need to work at filing things that need to be saved right away…
