had a lovely pedicure on Thursday as one of the celebrations for my birthday…

a day early but, like many places, they were closed for Good Friday;-)…

Joy was gentle and did a wonderful job of holding my feet securely as she worked so I didn’t kick her at all… those sensitive feet, lol…

as a special treat, I had the paraffin treatment, which is always delightful…

and because I wore my flip flops, she put them on first and then put on the polish… very clever…

had lots of time to sit and let the polish dry before heading home…

and am very happy with the fresh toes on my already slightly tanned feed;-)…

can’t think of the last time I had a pedicure so it was such a treat to have one on Tuesday afternoon…

surprisingly, my toes got painted purple, lol…

as always, my favourite portion of the experience is the foot and leg massage;-)…

and I am getting much better with having my feet touched, lol…

what a lovely day…

had a pedicure, which was a real treat as I haven’t had one since covid… the massage portion was bliss…

received cards, gifts, texts, and numerous phone calls… my kids were trying to see how many times they could sing happy birthday to me throughout the day, lol…

enjoyed the technology that let the Ottawa kids send me presents via Amazon…

treats turned up throughout the day, and a gorgeous bouquet arrived in the afternoon;-)…

dinner was barbecued steak and lobster with asparagus, mushrooms and tiny potatoes prepared by my housemate…

and considering the crazy weather – rain, snow, and bits of sunshine – barbecuing was a gift…

a final touch was a small portion of chocolate mousse;-)…

ended the night with a hot tub…

I am truly blessed…

my toenails are purple again… I think they’ve been naked since January…

while we were at the cottage my friend and her daughter combined a red nail polish with a dark blue polish and produced a one-of-a kind, just for me, purple… it was lovely to have a foot massage and get my nails painted…

I keep looking down at my toes and thinking what is that, lol…

what a wonderful treat… I am so blessed…

today I finally made it to Total Wrapture for a pedicure…

I’ve been waiting for a while but things hadn’t fallen into place until today…

it was time to give my nails a rest, so I kept my socks on while I waited for my appointment as I wouldn’t be having them painted…

the last few times when I’d had the paraffin treatment, it seemed that the polish came off sooner so I haven’t had it for ages… since I wasn’t having polish I decided to have the paraffin treatment…

it was lovely and my feet felt so soft afterwards… also nice to leave without worrying about smudging toes, lol…

they will have a good break without polish and will be ready for colour when I start to wear sandals again…

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…

met a wonderful dear woman for a pedicure recently…

we haven’t had an opportunity to visit for ages, so it was fabulous to have time together… we worked together for a few years and clicked instantly… she made my life so much better…

we both chose shades of purple for our toes and then were treated to excellent service by our technicians…

so blessed to have the opportunity to spend time with special friends… life is good…

last week I had a pedicure and as I stepped into the car, I scuffed my big toe… didn’t have time to go back and get it fixed, until this morning…

seemed like my lucky day… when I arrived at the clinic for my blood work, there wasn’t a single person there… got in right away… and after I left there, I called to see if they could fix my toe and I got in there right away and they didn’t charge anything;-)…

from there it was off to Costco for items for my camping trip with the boys… I seemed to find lots of treats, lol…

after lunch and a nap I made a big bowl of potato salad to take…

and, to top off the day, I ordered dinner from Clay Oven, via SkipTheDishes…

after all, it was the first day of my vacation;-)…

such a lovely day…

was up and in the hot tub while the moon was a crescent in the sky… then I went back to bed and slept for another three hours…

in the garden and had all the cushions out before breakfast, after mowing the grass… spent the entire morning reading and listening to the waterfall…

after lunch had a nap and went for a pedicure…

company for dinner and then spent the remainder of the evening in the garden…

blissful…
