big girl pants, chocolate, drinks, hair, light, play, Pokémon, PTE, purple, widow

slept in and lazed around all morning…

went to PTE and enjoyed a great play…

started with a drink and ate chocolate during the play… pretty fine way to spend an afternoon…

enjoyed some people watching and was amazed at the different ways people wear purple in their hair… not always to my taste, lol…

caught a few Pokémon and many poke balls while I was out and on the way home walked down the street searching for a few more…

even at 5:15 the light was lovely as I got close to the house… so wonderful to see more daylight every day…

already feeling more positive as the days get brighter…

giggle…

been a crazy busy day… but lots of fun…

had to giggle at lunchtime when I realized I forgot the hot portion of my lunch in the fridge at home, but I did bring the veggies, lol…

enjoyed taking photos throughout the day… a treat to spend time with my camera…

my grandson met me at the office and on our drive home we watched a bendy bus go by…

he took this shot for me… bendy busses make me smile whenever I see them…

on our slow drive home – it was very slippery and every car was moving at a snail’s pace – he caught numerous Poke balls and a few Pokémon as well…

he shovelled, I cooked, and when he was done, sent him home with dinner when his dad picked him up on his way home from work…

then I spotted sprouts in the Morning Glory can…

woo hoo…

dropping…

had some fun with my camera first thing this morning as I took pictures of the flowers in the house…

we will see if they end up dropping the rest of the blossoms or whether they will happily open…

beautiful hibiscus flower…

mandevilla blooms in the hanging basket which I set into the gardenia plant… hope they all make it through the winter…

grocery shopped at Safeway, dropped off the bags, and then went to Costco with my kids…

always find a few things there that I really need… today it was a cute Tommy Hilfiger sweater and some fancy olive oils…

great to have supper together again… and both my son-in-law and grandson did a few jobs around the house for me…

now I am curled up on my bed watching the Emmys and catching the odd Pokemon…

fun…

Assiniboine Park Zoo, big girl pants, downtown, fun, Manyfest, Pokémon, soccer, widow

picked up by the kids and went to Pokemon Day at the Zoo... there were lures set up at all the PokéStops…

great fun to see people of all ages playing throughout the area… got my picture taken with two of the Pokemon trainers…

they didn’t mind taking a photo with me and the kids thought it was hysterical…

from there we went to Grant Park Soccer Fields where the middle guy played his two final games of the year…

that’s our guy on the left…

this shot even has the ball in the air, pretty cool…

to top off the day we went downtown to Manyfest… way too many people for me… the food truck lines were crazy… eventually, after spending a long time in food lines, we ended at the shaved ice truck….

there were a lot of flavours to choose from…

sure looked pretty… and I think that every drop was eaten up…

going to bed now, that was a busy day…

Ottawa day 7…

bark, big girl pants, breakfast, chocolate, flight, gifts, home, Ottawa day 7, packing, Pokémon, PokeStops, stash, widow

well, spent the morning in Ottawa and flew home this afternoon…

started out with an egg on an English muffin, with a side of pistachio/coconut bark, all made by my daughter…

we said our goodbyes and she headed off to work… took a bit of effort to get my bag packed… apparently the gifts for my daughter’s friends filled up my suitcase, lol…

then finished taking a few pictures… of the chocolate stash…

final job was to wash the last of the dishes… this is becoming my trademark whenever I am with my kids… but really, fairly easy to manage, lol…

had my bags at the front door when my daughter surprised me by coming home for an hour before I left…

while I waited for my flight caught a few Pokemon and collected items from three PokeStops which were right at the gate…

touch down… home…

had a wonderful, crazy busy, and memorable week…

Pokémon…

big girl pants, camping, cooperation, family, fighting, fun, gyms, Pokémon, Pokémon Go, widow

today my kids met me at the Millennium Library Park over the lunch hour…

my daughter has given in and downloaded Pokémon Go on her phone so both little boys can help search for Pokémons, PokéStops and gyms… daddy had downloaded the game before we left on our vacation, so they would either take turns or share the phone…

the boys wandered all around the Park and found a PokéStop and two gyms… apparently they fight in the gyms, but the boys tell me they aren’t fighting others… they know how I feel about fighting, so I’m not sure about that…

while we were camping they would go for walks to hatch eggs and searched wherever we were to see if there were any Pokémons in the vicinity… then there would be great excitement as they described what they had caught…

it has been interesting to see how many people are playing and how there seems to be lots of cooperation where one person will suggest to other hunters where to search…

we chatted with many people we wouldn’t normally have spoken to, as it was clear they were also playing the game… appears to be a bit of a family game for our family and it is nice to see them playing it together…

since the first day my oldest grandson showed me the game, with great excitement in his eyes, I have been interested in how it has entertained them… 

they are often sharing what they have accomplished with their walking around and about…

such fun…
