had an excellent day yesterday…

early in the morning got this great shot of the garage roof which glittered with a thin blanket of fresh snow…


took a few pictures of the buds on the Japanese Maple, which is a sure sign of Spring for me…

  
then it was off to help with the set up for a special event…

a good friend picked me up and we went to Peasant Cookery for a lovely early birthday lunch… delightful…

from there we stopped at UN Luggage where I found a rain jacket… my current one is on the large size and I heard that I should have one in New York…

  

bit of a colour departure for me but the magenta leans towards purple, lol…

our last stop was a walk through the Gardens at Assiniboine Park… it was a gorgeous day…

  

this goose seemed to be looking for the water, lol…

spent some time playing with my Olympus camera as my Nikon is still at the hospital…

rather pleased with this shot…

  

  

giggling…

airport, giggling, rain jacket, remember, wave

this morning I put on a jacket that I bought here with my daughter before heading to the West Coast for the cruise to Alaska…

it made me giggle as I remembered packing to go to the airport and discovering the security tag still attached… it was very late and I was heading to the airport early the next morning… I couldn’t figure out how to get it off and worried that it would set off the alarms… had picked it up particularly for the rain I anticipated we would run into on the trip, so I didn’t want to leave it behind…

20140407-214143.jpg thank goodness my son-in-law came by after he got off work at eleven that night and figured out how to remove it…

tonight I got to have a few lovely macaroons which my nephew brought back from his trip to Ottawa… very tasty…

had a great visit with one of my friends and saw some pictures of her new granddaughter… so sweet…

when she left I stood at the window and waved, as I always do…

reminded me of my Aunty Vi… she died many years ago… she and my Uncle Don lived in a tiny little house filled with knick knacks… she loved to make things such as pottery, knit things of all types, food that she would share with all of her family… she made me laugh…

she always stood at the door to wave everyone off… my dad’s sister, she was very special…

lovely to remember her tonight…
