had a lovely pedicure on Thursday as one of the celebrations for my birthday…
a day early but, like many places, they were closed for Good Friday;-)…
Joy was gentle and did a wonderful job of holding my feet securely as she worked so I didn’t kick her at all… those sensitive feet, lol…
as a special treat, I had the paraffin treatment, which is always delightful…
and because I wore my flip flops, she put them on first and then put on the polish… very clever…
had lots of time to sit and let the polish dry before heading home…
and am very happy with the fresh toes on my already slightly tanned feed;-)…

turned the mattress and changed the sheets on Sunday morning…
it is feeling much springier, lol…
also put away the big, heavy, sun and stars blanket and brought out one of the afghans I made a number of years ago;-)…
can’t wait for more sunshiny warm days…

can’t think of the last time I had a pedicure so it was such a treat to have one on Tuesday afternoon…
surprisingly, my toes got painted purple, lol…
as always, my favourite portion of the experience is the foot and leg massage;-)…
and I am getting much better with having my feet touched, lol…

had fun with flowers Monday morning…
picked up the bouquet on December 29th when we were out grocery shopping;-)…
as there were already flowers in the living room, the bouquet went into the den…
the living room flowers were done, so I rearranged the newer flowers into three little vases…
playing with flowers makes me so happy;-)…

big girl pants, blessed, comforters, flowers, moments, purple, shopping, Technology, treat, widow
I’ve been looking at comforters for the last while and decided to order one for a January treat, but waited in case I got one for Christmas…
it arrived a few days ago in a tiny package which happily swelled up considerably when the plastic was removed…
once everything was laundered it was put on the bed…
I am very happy with how it looks;-)…

Advent calendars, big girl pants, blessed, boxes, daughter, family, magnets, moments, purple, treat, various, widow
going through my Facebook memories on December first is a great reminder of the various Advent Calendars I’ve had over the years…
they started a number of years ago, when I received 24 decorated magnets that went on 2 muffin tins… the items to go into them were provided and a colleague filled them;-)…
since then I have received fancy chocolate calendars, a repurposed frame with purple inserts that my daughter made, and individual boxes that have been refilled numerous times…
I’ve also received handmade cards with daily readings…
this year a Walker’s Shortbread calendar was delivered;-)…
I am blessed…

one of my previous Advent Calendars, which my daughter gave me, is a lovely set of 24 hand painted cards with interesting quotes…
although it isn’t Advent yet, I have been choosing one each day to contemplate;-)…
it is fun to spend some time each day thinking of the quote…

big girl pants, blessed, decorate, halloweeny, hat, moments, pumpkin, purple, widow, witch
this morning I had some fun bringing out a few decorations for Halloween…
plugged in one of the pumpkins and put a witch’s hat on it…
next I moved the dining room table and set up a second pumpkin after stuffing it with some solar lights…
it also got a witch’s hat… apparently I have a number of them, lol… a friendly witch and her purple pumpkin finished off that area…
one velvety cape went on the dining table and the other spiderweb one went on the living room table, along with a few halloweeny items…
and, finally, I changed the cushions on the couch…
fun 🤩…
