technology is certainly helping us in these crazy days…

the groceries I ordered online from Save-On-Foods came right at the time they said… the delivery person called ahead to let me know they would arrive so it gave me a chance to ask a few questions…

usually they bring the groceries into the house and have you sign a form…

the new process is that they drop the bags on your front step… once they are back at the truck and see you bring in the groceries they sign the form for you… while he was describing the new process he advised of the substitutions they had made…

I thanked him profusely for providing this great service for those of us older folks, particularly as I currently have a cold which is making me exceptionally careful…

it is a new world we are living in…

emotions…

the other night when I got dropped off at home I couldn’t find my house key…

stood at the back of my friend’s vehicle searching through my bag in the dark, dumping everything out, with no success…

they waited while I turned on my iPhone flashlight and headed to the back of the house to dig out the spare key…

brought back lots of emotions because when my beloved died I realized that I couldn’t just call him if I lost or forgot it… found a spot to stash it so I would be safe if I came home without a way to get in…

rather happy I was able to find it as I haven’t needed to use it since I put it in its hiding spot…

it was a bit dirty, but worked;-)…

and the next morning I put it right back to keep me safe…

unscathed…

had the oddest day…

as I was leaving the house the phone rang… a recording said they were from my credit card company and someone was trying to purchase something that they thought wasn’t a usual thing for me… I could choose 1 to approve it or 2 to cancel the purchase… I hung up the phone…

as soon as I got into the car I called the number on my credit card and spoke with someone who advised that is was a scam and I had done the correct thing…

the weather has been odd all day and coming home from work it seemed like everyone was crazy… drivers were crossing the road in front of me, sliding into spots that weren’t really there, and just acting like there were no rules…

glad when I arrived home unscathed and got to spend a few moments in the garden…

detector…

well I am safe now…

thanks to all my kids I finally have a new smoke detector upstairs…

for Christmas, the Winnipeg kids got me a Nest smoke detector…

and today, my Ottawa son-in-law installed it and connected it to an app on my phone…

it even shows me the temperature outside when I open the app… how cool is that…

think I will save up for the thermostat and maybe a few more of the detectors… checked for Boxing Day sales but there weren’t any huge discounts…

sure do have a great bunch of kids…

angels…

had another wonderful evening with my ReImagining friends… some of us have been gathering since 1993 even before we attended the first conference in Minneapolis… these women are some of the angels in my life…

after a lovely dinner, we gathered in a circle with this in the centre…

we caught up on one another’s lives and had a conversation about love, and forgiveness… a safe place to share our deepest thoughts and challenge our beliefs…

as I left our gathering this gorgeous rose called to me, so I stopped to get a picture…

the sky was getting a bit ominous as I waited at a light, but thankfully it never amounted to anything… 

was happy that I arrived home just before darkness took over the sky… well timed and made for a nice drive…

this angel’s trumpet stood out as I walked into the garden from the garage… white flowers are so bright as dusk settles over the garden…

and right at the door this hibiscus flower welcomed me home…

great rejuvenating time…
