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…

nervous…

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…

yum…

great food today…

met a good friend for lunch at Chamberlyn’s in Winnipeg Square and had Crepes St. Jacques…

  
very tasty, even with the tomato in it, lol… 

just saw a chef on tv the other day saying just try it the way we made it for heaven’s sake… so that’s what I did… reminded me of The Garden Creperie which was one of my favourite restaurants a long time ago…

had a wonderful visit too, catching up on each other’s lives and events…

tonight decided to use up the last few left-over whole wheat tortillas from Sunday’s tacos for my supper…

 so, picked basil, cut up Brie and some tomatoes, and put the “pizzas” on the pizza stone in the oven…

  

  
when I took them out, added a little drizzle of olive oil, salt and pepper and then gobbled them up…

  
yum… finished my dinner with a handful of peas which I shelled and ate one at a time…

been doing a much better job of using up everything in the fridge and pantry and having less go bad and into the garbage…

gosh darn those big girl pants, lol…

Ottawa Day 4…

started the day with a lay in… eventually we got up and had an adventure… with the help of a number of people we met on our travels, we found our way to the Canadian Nature Museum where we spent about three hours checking out the various displays… we liked the new luminescence exhibit and all the others as well…

IMG_7576.JPGwe worked up an appetite and found a pizza place for our lunch…

IMG_7577.JPGfound a spot inside where we could watch the outside…

while we were eating a few pigeons came by…

IMG_7578.JPGjust before we arrived home we found these cosmos and got a few shots…

IMG_7579.JPGonce home we watched a few of my shows, a few others, played on the computer and prepared for dinner…

now we are watching Blended and thinking about an early bed time…

another lovely vacation day…

woke up at the usual 5:30 but went back to sleep until 8:15… made tea and checked email and read the Globe and Mail…

once we were all up, we went for breakfast at the top of the hotel where there were great views of downtown and the harbour… booked our Tea at the Empress…

packed our bags, put everything in the car and checked out…

walked to the harbour and toured the Undersea World… nothing to write home about…

after the show we headed to the Empress for a wonderful tea experience… we wore gloves and Cyndi had on pearls and a lacy headband… it was delightful… lovely sandwiches, scones, and we even had the chef bring us honey in the comb from their own hives…

then a horse drawn carriage picked us up and we had a 45 minute tour…

what a lovely way to end our stay in Victoria…

drove the Malahat, stopping at all the viewing spots and arrived in Courtenay just after 8… had pizza delivered for our dinner… got our bags in and are heading to bed… been a long, eventful and enjoyable day…
