ten years ago today, this was my lunch… which included lobster, steak, and avocado…
and this was my lunch today… which included prime rib and avocado… no lobster though…
can’t decide if I am that boring, or if it was serendipitous;-)…

artistic, big girl pants, cancer, colleague, homework, orange, Photography, serendipitous, teacher, trees, widow
took this picture of the trees out the back before I left the house…
reminded me of a colleague who we lost to cancer a few years ago… she and I had taken a photography course together and the picture was similar to one that I took at that time as part of our homework…
later in the day I was working on a computer and came across her name…
seemed rather serendipitous…
she had a wonderful artistic streak and a great eye… we worked well together and she taught me a lot… one of my favourite things was how she showed me to add a URL into a Facebook post and then delete the URL once the link had opened up so that the post looked cleaner… a little thing but it makes a huge difference…
a very special woman…

big girl pants, chocolate, daughter, outside, screen, serendipitous, trees, widow
tonight I enjoyed a delightful bit of chocolate… Brookside Dark Chocolate Tart Cherry Crisp with pomegranate flavour… might just take longer to say the name than it did to eat it, lol…
it has a very cool tree on it…
just minutes after that my daughter sent me a picture of some screen printing she did at a class tonight…
another tree… how cool is that…
the really funny thing is that this was the picture I had already prepared to post tonight…
it is of two of my colleagues sitting in the sun for a few minutes over lunch yesterday… we try to get outside for at least a few minutes on sunny days…
the whole serendipitous thing is amazing… great way to start my weekend;-)…

big girl pants, car wash, George, remote starter, safety deposit box, serendipitous, sunrise, tears
took this picture of the beautiful sunrise this morning…
am always amazed at how I walk by the window at just the right moment to catch something so lovely… what made me look out this time and not just focus on getting down the stairs… interesting…
had an appointment after lunch so needed to get a few things done in a short amount of time…
stopped in at the credit union and after making the deposit asked about when we could meet with the locksmith to drill out the key to our safety deposit box… it was serendipitous that the locksmith was on the way there for another reason…
I waited a few minutes and when he got there and opened it, we discovered that the box was empty, as I had imagined… we had that box since 1979…
was hard to see George’s signature on the document… brought a few tears… never know when things will hit hard…
after a quick grocery shop, I headed to Toyota to have them check the silly remote starter… met up with my sales guy and he took me to the place down the street that did the install… they checked it out and said it was fine… they gave me a lesson in how to use it and I drove away within half an hour… need to wait in one place, double click in another, and turn the key a certain way… will see how it goes, lol…
was so pleased with how quickly the visit to the dealership went that I decided to take her for a car wash as she was very dirty…
was a bit nervous about what I had to do when I got there but it was easy… left her at the door…
went in and paid, and discovered that the cars don’t stay in the same line they started in, yikes… a nice person helped me figure the system out, I found her and drove away in a lovely clean car…
