Advent, always learning, big girl pants, blessed, email, lights, moments, music, playlist, relaxing, Technology, treats, widow

one of my advent treats was an email (31 Days of Gifts) that comes every day with different things in it…

the second day included a Spotify playlist…

I spent a lovely evening sitting in the living room, enjoying the tree lights and listening to the playlist, as I read a novel on my tablet…

the best thing about the list is that it showed me the option of where to play it… previously, I was only able to play on the device in the room where I was… now I can play it anywhere or everywhere…

sounds lovely when it is playing all through the main floor…

technology;-)…

yesterday I spent a lovely time listening to music and colouring…

found two types of pencil crayons in the drawer… was really impressed with the twisty ones, which are like mechanical pencils…

very relaxing… might do this again…

last Friday I was presented with a lovely bouquet of flowers by our Board…

I have been taking pictures of them ever since… so happy to have my camera back to do so…

today I trimmed the stems and put the flowers into a different vase…

flowers make me happy and taking pictures of them is very relaxing…

had a good sleep in my own bed and spent a restful day recovering from my camping trip;-)…

back to usual patterns and started my day with a fruit smoothie, thanks to the frozen fruit my grandson had picked up while he was house sitting…

lots of tv, reading and napping…

walked over and got my hair cut…

tiniest bit of purple left in it, lol…

it was a beautiful day and I enjoyed the walk… even got a few flower photos in the process… the St. James Biz have done a great job with the planters…

back home I had lunch and did more resting;-)… enjoyed time in the garden, listening to the waterfall…

cooked some pickerel for dinner…

it is always nice to come home…

beautiful, beloved, big girl pants, grandma, groceries, Maui day two, memories, moments, rain, rainbows, relaxing, shopping, sunrise, walk, widow

we went to bed early last night because we were exhausted…

this morning we woke up twenty minutes before the sunrise… so we dressed quickly, and headed out to an iron bench on the property…

it was cool and very windy but we had fun watching ships and outrigger canoes as well as the sun shining on the clouds, lol…

we came in just as it began to rain… and then we saw five rainbows, one after the other, moving across the sky…

we took it gently and went to Whole Foods for snacks and breakfast items over the next week… always fun to see what items are available at the store in different countries… fresh juice and the view…

lunch and off to Paia… we wandered the town, saw surfers and large waves, tried mahi-mahi and had a quiet drive back…

we stopped for some avocado toast and packaged up a bit of salt for the eggs we picked up earlier… reminded both of us of George’s mom always slipping any excess jam or ketchup or whatever into her bag when we took a trip to the east coast many years ago, lol…

another busy day…

have really been enjoying the drive through the Park each morning as we go to and from the zoo for camp… wonderful relaxing way to start the day…

our supper plan was a frozen pizza, followed by a delicious dessert pizza… our various descriptions included: smells like s’mores; looks like a giant chocolate chip cookie; tastes like hot chocolate… yum… we did discuss that the whole pizza was 880 calories which was why I had a single slice… might just be getting a few of these to have on hand in the freezer;-)…

the older one ran out to the gas bar to pick up some milk for tomorrow’s breakfast and came across this bunny when he returned… clever boy circled around and came in to get me to go out and see it;-)…

spent my day basically in three spots…

on a lounge chair, beside the hot tub, reading…

on the couch in the living room with flowers on the table, reading as well…

on the bed, reading, napping, and watching some PVRed shows, track and field and skateboarding…

in between I did manage to make three meals… a fruit smoothie; egg salad on toast with fresh veggies; steak with mushrooms and sweet potato baked fries…

also chatted with my daughters and a couple of my grandsons…

a rather wonderful relaxing day, lol…

been a full, but good Mother’s Day…

up fairly early, had breakfast and headed over to the Park to check out the daffodils and tulips…

there were lots of tulips blooming and I’m glad I went today because by next weekend they may be finished…

had a few minutes on our bench while I chatted with my Ottawa girl…

early morning is the best time to wander through the Gardens on the weekend because it is still quiet…

home and then out to pick up groceries and flowers – tulips, then back for lunch and a nap…

sat out in the garden until the kids came… they mowed and whipper snipped and moved the fish from their condo to their summer residence…

always an exciting process..

excellent dinner cooked on Barbie the BBQ, lol…

then some online retail therapy with my Winnipeg daughter… ordered a purple metal bracelet for my Fitbit…

planning a hot tub a bit later, but now spending a few minutes by the pond before heading in…

squirrels…

wonderful relaxing day…

ate, read and napped…

watched some squirrels in the front yard… 

it seems like they are everywhere these days… whenever I go for a walk I see lots of them… 

and they are running around in the garden all the time… 

caught one the other day eating a green pepper…

they can really jump when they want to get somewhere, lol…

but they are fun to watch…
