had some fun with technology today…

met with my Monday group in the morning via Zoom… I set up a space in the living room for the laptop so others could see the fish, but they weren’t visible, lol…

during Covid we met via Zoom, so we have been happy to have access to it again as the group has been dealing with poor health and we don’t like to miss our time together…

hopefully everyone will be feeling better soon so that we can get back to meeting in person…

later in the day I used the selfie stick to take a photo of me reading in the sun… there hasn’t been much of it shining over the last few weeks…

I had tried to get it to work yesterday, without success… after going online and doing a bit of research, I figured it out, so today it took the photo easily;-)…

such a treat when technology works;-)…

leftovers…

today I continued with the packing…

my youngest grandson came over for a few hours and we spent time in the hot tub and filled the pond… we also counted down the days till we go camping…

we had Chinese food leftovers and managed a selfie… took both of us to get it, lol… it was lovely because he usually doesn’t want to be in pictures…

after he was picked up I went outside and watched two gold finches fly away from the feeder… so I sat outside for half an hour, but they did not return…

started our day early in Kingston with a trip to the Base beach to do some stand up paddle boarding… it was a gorgeous morning, warm but breezy…

my daughter got out onto the water but realized it was too windy so we packed the stuff up… it is a lovely beach with many sailboats at the marina…

on our way home we stopped and checked out a couple of trails…

the leaves and acorns were beautiful…

then it was time for lunch, farewells and the drive back to Ottawa… on the way we took a few detours to find some possible paddle boarding sites…

we came across a boat going through the locks at one spot and had fun watching the process…

continue to work on my selfie skills, and as one woman put it while we were trying to get just the right one – it is harder than it looks, lol…

rained for about the last half hour of our drive, then stopped for just long enough to unload the car…

another fun filled day… now I am tired and ready for bed…

walk…

yesterday had lunch in the Millennium Park next door to the office… a lovely time in the sun enjoying conversation and food with some great individuals… as I was walking back, with my hands full and the sun shining into my face, took this shot of Emptyful… 

came out pretty good considering I couldn’t see what I was doing, lol…

my new iPhone 7 makes pictures move in an odd fashion… reminds me of the photographs in the Harry Potter series… 

after work, met up with my daughter and oldest grandson and we had supper out before attending his final band concert of the year… on our way back to the car we took this selfie in front of Emptyful as we went by…

wonderful to have opportunities to be outside on such a beautiful day…

and today spent a few minutes enjoying the poppies blooming in the garden before heading to the office…

walked to the Fairmont and back this morning… great treat to be out again while we are enjoying such beautiful days…

looking forward to spending time in the garden planting tomorrow…

very happy to have Shadow’s proper tires on… my son-in-law came by the office this morning, picked her up, took her home, and removed the winter tires… she looks so pretty with her sporty ones… now she needs a bath… maybe next week…

at lunch I went for a short walk, to catch pokeballs, and stopped in at the Millennium Library gift shop…

I can always find something to buy there… today it was two McIntosh loon mugs… they are Robert Bateman designs… I love his art…

wrote about the last McIntosh mugs I bought a while back…

had a bit of a giggle tonight when I realized they are meant for right handed people… the loons are located on the mug so when I’m holding it I won’t see them… someone suggested I take selfies and then I could see the loon in the picture, lol…

been a while since I’ve had to deal with my handedness… most things are automatic and I don’t even realize I’m making adjustments to deal with the item/situation…

cheers…

started my post sitting in a soccer field as my youngest grandson practiced before his game…

was picked up at work, had a lovely home cooked dinner of chicken wings; mashed potatoes with corn, shredded cheese and gravy; and a kale salad with the family… what a treat… also had a quarter of a waffle cake (cake batter cooked in the waffle maker) with butter cream icing on it… yum… these were a treat for the birthday boy’s soccer team, at their practice…

after the soccer game, was picked up and went to see Finding Dory with the 11 year old birthday boy, a friend, his mom and dad…

brought some chocolates back so he and I had a cheers with ours…


great soccer player going by as they practised before the game…


something for everyone else to do too…


the game was excellent and our little guy scored in the first few minutes… shortly after that he got another goal which I  caught …


he kicked that ball right into the net… this boy has no fear… 

after his game was finished, went to the birthday boy’s practice where the kids devoured the waffle cakes…


saw Finding Dory, which was very cute, dropped everybody off and my son-in-law drove me to my car which was still at the office…

took this selfie of all of us in the car with our 3D glasses on, lol…


lovely way to spend my first day home from Atlanta…
