got in a bit of trouble when I mentioned that I had purchased a fuzzy vest…
I was reminded that there are just a few weeks until Christmas and I should not be buying things for myself…
it did remind me of how my beloved would do that and it would really tick me off, sigh…
but it is cozy, and I did need the warmth, lol…

had a great day…
started out with two beautiful blooms on the hibiscus…
got a lovely present… tasty chocolate and a cookbook… looks like there are a couple of recipes that I am going to need to try soon… they can all be made in 15 minutes…
took part in a video with my colleague… we laughed quite a bit…
and that was all before noon…
now for a four day weekend;-)…

woo hoo… the Olympics are on… I love to watch and have spent a good portion of the day glued to the tv…
they started early so I was watching rowing by about 6:30… enjoyed some of the men’s bike road race…
making potato salad and spinach dip for tomorrow’s birthday party for the 16 year old has certainly put a kink in my viewing, lol…
headed out fairly early to pick up potatoes at the grocery store and realized after I got home that I didn’t have any mayonnaise for the spinach dip… made the potato salad in stages, between the sports I wasn’t as interested in…
five pounds of potatoes… hope it is enough…
later in the afternoon I walked over to the grocery store and picked up the missing ingredient… also found fresh green beans and little cucumbers… so, for my dinner, had goldeye, a tiny bit of the potato salad, the beans and cucumbers…
very tasty, and easy, as I wanted to keep watching swimming and tennis…
finished the spinach dip and everything is ready to go…
present is wrapped, which took about half an hour to finish…
and now I can focus back on the games…
bye…

four am this morning marked the birth of our first daughter, in 1978…
had barely left my desk for a minute the day before, as I tried to finish up a huge report for one of my colleagues…
we got home and then headed to the hospital, because I wasn’t feeling one hundred percent… expected them to look me over and send me home…
got there around four pm, and she was born twelve hours later at four in the morning…
not too big a deal… except that she was six weeks early…
thankfully she was fine, and for her second birthday present we brought her home a little sister…
she sent me this picture today as she, her husband and a good friend of theirs were on the train to Montreal to celebrate their birthdays…
life certainly changed for George and I from the moment she was born…
being a parent has been and continues to be a remarkable experience…
