today we went to Ali’i Kula Lavender… we thought it was just a lavender field but it turned out to have a whole lot of flowering plants and trees as well…

had a lovely wander around and took a few photos, lol…

from there we headed over to Maui Chocolate and Coffee Tours at Kupa’a Farms where we had a wonderful visit with Ann and Janet and Gerry… we talked about jewellery and Instagram and then we got to see cacao trees… somebody was very happy…

we saw all kinds of other trees and learned how chocolate is made, followed by a great chocolate tasting…

what a glorious afternoon…

EKG…

back to being off every Friday… happy to be on this schedule…

this morning I had a checkup and besides the usual tests the doctor included an EKG…

apparently by the time you are 67 (for another few weeks) they want to get a baseline for the future… I am wondering what their expectations are, going forward, lol…

once I was done there, I called to see if I could get in for a pedicure… only waited about half and hour, and besides the pedicure, I got a sports manicure…

lovely fingers and toes…

topped the day off with Clay Oven Goat Thali via SkipTheDishes;-)… I divide it up and have enough for another meal…

happy Friday…

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…

dishcloth…

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…

boxes…

Advent, big girl pants, boxes, dragonfly, fun, purple, socks, widow

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…
