have decided that it needs to be Spring…
bought this cute little crocus plant and am enjoying watching the blooms open…
the sun is shining out there and it feels like Spring… in the house, lol…
except that the temperature is minus 34…
picked up a few Spring-y tops on Friday…
maybe if we imagine it enough, it will come sooner;-)…

tonight I made scrambled eggs for my dinner…
made me think of my dad…
he always used a fork to work the eggs in the frying pan… he would have been using a pan that didn’t have coating so the metal fork would have been fine, lol…
he felt that the fork made the eggs more light and fluffy…
I use a spatula, usually a purple one…
always interesting what we remember, isn’t it…

had a few late Christmas gifts over the last while…
so nice when that happens and you get to enjoy new treats…
I’d been admiring the tree for quite a while, so it was wonderful to have it given to me…
the purple piece under it is one of those lovely handmade dishcloths… I find them excellent in the kitchen and this one is a great shade…
spoiled, lol…

had a lovely evening…
headed to Polo Park with a young friend after work…
stopped at Ricki’s and found a jacket, and a purple plaid jean (kind of) shirt… on Saturday I had picked up two cute tops as well… both with purple flowers on them…
then we had supper at Moxie’s…
wandered through a few stores and headed home…
got my hair purpled yesterday so I will be all matched up when I wear the new clothes, lol…

went to Canadian Tire because they had a sale on… I’d decided after my Christmas Eve skate that I’d like to get my own so we could all skate together…
got the cutest ones… they have a C on them and mauve accents;-)… I mean, clearly designed specifically for me…
we went to The Forks, along with what felt like millions of other people, and had fun skating on the River Trail…
I still worry about falling but they had the neatest chairs on skis… it was wonderful to have one to steady me and I was able to relax and get more comfortable… soon I was gliding along… one day I might be able to do that without hanging on to something or someone, lol…
my daughter had a problem with one of her feet so I pushed her for a while… gave the youngest a short ride and then he pushed me for a bit… my son-in-law ended up giving me a very fast ride back to the start;-)…
didn’t skate for long, but it was great fun to be outside with the kids…
maybe next week we will go to the Duck Pond…

yesterday a couple of fun things happened…
I took a picture of my The Chocolate Lab bonbon in front of the purple dragonfly on the Christmas tree…
not that big a deal, except that a picture of me opening that ornament from its box in 2013 on day 23 of Advent came up in my Facebook feed just a little while later;-)…
and then to top that, I decided to put on a pair of fuzzy socks as the floor was a bit chilly… I don’t usually wear them, but had an urge this morning…
these were from last year’s day 23;-)…
and look what else came up in my feed, lol…

for the last few years a dear friend has come over to help me with the Christmas decorating…
I’ve always loved Christmas but since the loss of my beloved it has lost a bit of its lustre…
this year I’ve been working away on my own to decorate… I decided to try some different options… took me a few weeks but it is done now…
have put my tree collection in the dining room where my pottery usually lives… and even passed along some pieces, yay for me;-)…
put up a new tree with purple and silver decorations and hung up the glass balls on either side of the picture above the sofa…
put the snow people up the stairs…
got a garland going along the ledge in the dining room… final piece was to put the glittery trees on the fish tank…
still might have my friend come by to check it all out…
then going to go through the rest of the Christmas boxes and maybe pass some decorations along to others…
there are the reindeer, the snowflakes, the nativities, the angels, the santas…

we’ve had a lovely young woman working with us for the last three months… she has been seconded from RBC and we have enjoyed having her as part of the team… the time has flown by…
a few days ago she brought gifts for everyone, as well as kind notes for each member of staff… my bracelet was purple…
today we celebrated her time with us with cupcakes and presents… there were the cutest little snow people rings on top of the cupcakes so we took a group photo;-)…

yesterday I went and had my hair purpled…
spent the entire appointment chatting with my stylist ‘s two year old… such fun to visit with little people…
hair came out nice too…
today I went for a pedicure… last night my daughter suggested I step out of the box and go with something other than purple, lol…
so I chose mauve;-)… also had the paraffin treatment…
all prettied up;-)…
