my housemate has been picking up groceries for me so I haven’t ordered from Save-on-Foods for quite a while, but on Thursday I put an order in for delivery…

I had received an email advising of a $25 refund if I spent $75, so I went ahead and ordered some regular items on my shopping list, lol…

I made sure to call their info line because one item was buy-one-get-one-free, and I couldn’t remember if I should put two, or one, on the order…

the phone was answered quickly and the customer service person had the answer right away…

I also appreciate that they no longer use plastic bags, except for produce… I put out my own boxes and the driver transfers from their bins to mine…

when my order arrived, there wasn’t a credit so I went back to the email, only to discover that the deadline had just passed… by a few days, lol… apparently I should have read it better or put the order in sooner…

but, I did get the free item;-)…

finally made it to GLOBOsapiens Used Bookstore, as a number of friends had told me about it…

took a box full of books that I had read, which have been rattling around in the trunk for weeks, and came home with a box full of books that I have been looking for…

they only take cash and luckily I had some on me… and, because I brought books in, most of the ones I purchased were half price…

I’ve been looking for the JD Robb In Death series for quite some time so was thrilled when I found twenty to add to my library woohoo…

now to add them to my list so I know which ones I have and which ones I still need;-)… and figure out where they are going to go…

since the girls were born, I’ve been giving them books for birthdays and holidays… I’ve done the same for my grandkids, but now we’ve worked up to gift cards as it isn’t clear what they might like to read…

now I don’t really have anyone to buy books for, but I have a new neighbour who has just turned two, so I’m getting books for him now…

it is such fun to buy little people books…

such fun on Wednesday as I went through my Nora Roberts book collection…

I reorganized all the books in alphabetical order and went through the trilogies and other items in the stockpile…

and then I ordered a few books to complete some of the trilogies…

can hardly wait for them to arrive;-)…

spent a good portion of my day on the cliff deck… it was sunny…

in the morning, it was a little breezy, but by the afternoon, it was very windy…

watching the whitecaps and waves pounding the shore reminds one of the huge power of nature…

a good friend came by Friday morning with a parcel they picked up for me…

I also received some delicious scones;-)…

after they left, I spent time in the living room reorganizing the space…

tidied and moved plants, rearranged tables and sat and read in the finished space…

today…

I signed a petition…

read a book – 21 Things You May Not Know About The Indian Act... one of the Appendices included the 94 recommendations of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada…

put orange sarongs on both doors (the only orange I have)… they darkened the space, so every time I walked by them I was reminded of my focus for today…

listened to “A Day to Listen”… yesterday I heard a few of them on the radio, but today took the time to hear all of them…

made donations to The Gord Downie and Chanie Wenjack Fund and Indigenous Residential School Survivors Society…

thought long and hard about what we/I must continue to do to make right relations…

although it was a new and sad way to spend Canada Day, I learned a great deal… and I will not forget…

made my first potato salad of the season this morning and then spent the rest of the day in the garden…

apparently snow is coming so it just makes sense to be out there while it is nice…

napped in my rocking lounger and sat in one of my repaired chairs…

watched and listened to many birds… saw what might have been a purple finch, which stood on a chair to oversee the garden, but I didn’t take any pictures;-)… the sparrows and juncos were enjoying drinks of water when they weren’t searching for food… the red squirrel hopped all over the deck for some reason… it was fun to watch…

when I wasn’t watching the wildlife, I was reading a new book and eating potato salad;-)..

very happy that my order from Chapters/Indigo arrived yesterday…

I did laugh a bit when I realized I had ordered two of one of them… good that it was on sale, sigh… should have used the computer instead of my phone to place the order… I left the extra one out of the photo and plan to see if one of my friends would like it;-)…

the books will sit on the dining room table for a few days before I take them out one by one as I read them… it has been fun reading on the tablet in the living room and the paperbacks in the garden;-)…
