yesterday, for Valentine’s Day, I wore a lovely red pullover that my beloved got me in Banff, many, many, years ago;-)… it is one of the few pieces of red clothing that I own…

a lovely reminder of him and how romantic he was, particularly at Valentine’s…

I received an early phone call from my daughter and had my breakfast in a heart-shaped bowl…

lunch was a heart-shaped pizza, yum…

all of which was quite lovely…

ended the day with a hand-delivered card from my little buddies next door;-)… what a treat;-)…

went to De Luca’s on Portage Avenue for lunch the other day…

ordered the vegetarian mushroom, spinach, and cheese pizza, along with half of a shared Greek salad…

it was delicious…

and I brought some home which I had for lunch the next day…

so good;-)…

today was Pi day, lol, so we decided to bake a frozen pizza for supper… it wasn’t cooked after the correct amount of time, nor after more time… eventually we realized that the oven wasn’t heating…

tried using the frypan, but that did not work…

so, then we ordered…

it was tasty, particularly after we’d been trying to have supper for a long time, lol…

now to figure out why the oven isn’t working…

Tuesday was a very busy and rather exciting day…

around 5:30 vehicles began to arrive with boxes and furniture, as my grandson moved into the basement for the next while… of course, by that time it was snowing and blowing…

the empty space was all of a sudden filled up with stuff again, in a very messy way… yikes…

after all the stuff was brought in, we had pizza and wings to thank the helpers and celebrate the move being completed…

I was happy because I got a heart-shaped one, ate half of it, and saved the rest for lunch the next day…

yesterday my grandson came over…

he cleaned the pump in the pond, but for some reason it wouldn’t start up… will have to get my son-in-law over to see if his magic fingers can get it going…

we went to Za Pizza Bistro for supper with some out-of-town family… first time I’ve been there and it was delicious… I was able to have a white sauce on mine, which I really enjoy, and the crust was thin and crispy… it was great fun choosing the exact toppings I wanted…

before it got dark he headed home on his bike…

I really enjoy spending time with him…

another busy day…

have really been enjoying the drive through the Park each morning as we go to and from the zoo for camp… wonderful relaxing way to start the day…

our supper plan was a frozen pizza, followed by a delicious dessert pizza… our various descriptions included: smells like s’mores; looks like a giant chocolate chip cookie; tastes like hot chocolate… yum… we did discuss that the whole pizza was 880 calories which was why I had a single slice… might just be getting a few of these to have on hand in the freezer;-)…

the older one ran out to the gas bar to pick up some milk for tomorrow’s breakfast and came across this bunny when he returned… clever boy circled around and came in to get me to go out and see it;-)…

bye…

early this morning the kids went home… yesterday I worked and they, along with my two younger grandsons, picked me up at the end of the day…

even though it was crazy cold, they had gone to the zoo so that Auntie and Uncle could visit Journey to Churchill… the boys were excited to show everything there, as we go quite often… one of their Christmas gifts is a family pass so that we can go whenever the mood strikes us…

when we got home there was pizza making fun… all three of them had a good time and in the end we had a lovely dinner, although the prep left a big mess…

today I had leftover pizza for my lunch…

after the kids were picked up by their daddy, we had a short rest and then the final packing took place…

we were at the hangar just after midnight and they checked in and went right through security…

I headed home and to bed while they waited until 3 am to get onto their flight… they texted when they got on the plane and when they arrived in Ottawa… they are now home safe and sound and getting back to their routines…

I am trying to get back into my routine as well, but it sure is quiet around here today, lol…

a goodbye selfie;-)…

full day… my grandson came over and worked in the yard for me… then we ran out and did a few errands…

as we left the driveway, got this shot of the Virginia creeper growing alongside the house…

the red is vibrant against the green on the cedar…

returned home and my daughter and the two younger boys arrived and we headed out for more shopping… this time to IKEA… it always amazes me how much time can get eaten up in that store, lol…

had a roast planned for dinner but as we left the store there wasn’t going to be time to cook and eat it before they needed to head home…

so, we ordered Panago pizza… it was delicious along with the salad we made to to go with it…

here’s the newest Chihuly page from my calendar…

omg… October already… how did that happen…

good news… my eyes are in good shape… saw the eye doctor this morning… surprised me with a field test… thankfully it came out okay… always nervous when taking one… 

sky was changing every time I came out of a business…

  
met with my finance guy and my investments are doing fine as well…

then off to pick up a few groceries… had a lovely wander around at Costco… didn’t even buy much that wasn’t on my list, lol… finished up at Safeway where I picked up the other items for Thanksgiving dinner on the weekend…

on the drive home the sky changed yet again…

  
at least there was a bit of blue in it…

had a nap after all the groceries were put away, and then made a couple of pita pizzas for dinner…

  
delicious…

now to plan what I will eat tomorrow…

yesterday was three years since my cancer surgery…

today I had my regular six-month check-up… which I will have until five years have gone by… the chances of the cancer reoccurring are basically nil as the doctor pointed out today, but I was still nervous…

  
usually my daughter comes with me but she wasn’t able to today… didn’t even want to be in the building so soon after my friends’ deaths… and it isn’t CancerCare’s fault… they did everything they possibly could…

everything went well and I am fine… back to the office in record time…

  
combined the homemade pesto with whole wheat pita bread and Brie for a great pizza, with a veggie salad for my supper… doing much better with whole wheat items, particularly if there are strong flavours with them…

I had a few pieces of Lindt Orange Intense Dark Chocolate as a treat… don’t tell my BS friends… this was supposed to be their treat from my Ottawa trip, lol… I’m sure I can save the rest of it…
