actually went outside for the first time in at least a week…

walked to the “A” and met my grandson for breakfast… had a lovely meal and conversation…

from there we headed out to do some errands… bought some rollers at Saje… been trying to get there since I got back from Ottawa… picked up Sleep Well, Peppermint Halo and Pain Relief… I used the first two while I was away and will give the third one a try for some of the pain I’ve been experiencing in my knee…

was able to replace a Google Hub to get the correct colour… it was one of my Christmas gifts… but I did see a Lenovo Smart Display 10″ with Google Assistant… going to look into that a bit more in case it would do more of what I want than the Hub…

Indi finally had a bath and a few groceries were purchased, including a cute new plate…

I have been enjoying using different plates to eat from and I think this one will be a great addition…

home, put away the groceries and my grandson took the car… the plan was that he would come back tomorrow for dinner…

then it was afternoon nap time, lol…

have had a few busy days… out for dinner on Monday night, lunch and shopping yesterday…

once again this morning there some issues with the thermostat so I called MTS again… they had someone come out just after lunch so I spent the morning in the house… didn’t want to miss them…

it was a nice young man who had worked for a supplier we’d used at my work… he replaced the extender/booster (depends on who you talk to, lol) and then went through the process of renaming the network connection and re-entering the password…

after that he advised I would need to change the network for all of my devices, sigh…

the Nest is easy to get connected… yay…

if you remember, last time I did this for the Google family, it was a complete accident when it worked, lol…

so far all the Google Home pieces are working, but once again all of the TP-link devices are not cooperating…

I think I am going to let that go until tomorrow;-)…

had the most wonderful quiet day today… I am particularly happy about this as I anticipate that the next four days are going to be packed…

wrote a few cards to pop into the mail, made chili and spaghetti with meat sauce, and put away the last few groceries from yesterday’s shopping trip…

the chili came out great… I added some hamburger and onion to the basics… delicious…

missed having the boys for dinner, but they were busy… we are planning to make a gingerbread house next time they are over…

packaged up some meals to share and for the coming week…

had a number of phone calls and enjoyed a few Christmas movies as well…

nice;-)…

went to the Outlet Mall with my grandson… had savoury crepes for lunch… very tasty, but a little messy to eat, lol…

from there we visited quite a few shoe stores before he found just the right pair…

then we spent some time in the Calvin Klein store… the shopping didn’t take long, prices were great, but the line-up to pay was rather tedious…

there were lots of beautiful decorations wherever we walked…

always great to spend time with this kind young man…

great time with my boys today…

we went out for lunch, did some shopping, and emptied and refilled the hot tub in under an hour…

that was pretty amazing because usually it takes about five hours to do this… think I will use this process in the future…

found out that the PVRs are broken, which explained why neither I or the guys could get any of them working… set up an appointment for someone to come out and do a repair during the week… missing a number of shows, sigh…

finally, we added a light strip along the staircase… it is going to be a great addition to my Google Home…

much cleaner looking than the twinkle lights were;-)…

ended our time with dinner in, and then they were off to watch the Jets game at home…

fun day with my grandsons…

met the three of them for dimsum… we haven’t been for ages so it was a great treat… felt a bit sad that their daddy was working so couldn’t come because he had mentioned it just last week, lol…

from there the youngest and I ran a few errands… we picked up fish food, birdseed and a few groceries… we also found a wreath for the front door;-)…

once we got home we put everything away and then he filled the reindeer Advent calendar with chocolate covered raisins… that was a lot of fun, and every drawer is jam packed…

we made nachos with bacon for supper and watched a few episodes of the Holiday Baking Championship…

his big brother came and picked him up and I am recovering in front of the tv;-)…

recently had a wonderful afternoon with my grandson…

he picked me up and took me to vote at the advance poll… then we went out for sushi and a visit to what is becoming our favourite fish store…

from there it was on to Costco, where everyone in St. James appeared to have decided to go at the same time as us, lol…

home and he helped put everything away, including all of the items that needed to go downstairs…

then it was off home to make supper for his siblings…

last year around this time we went out to Falcon Lake for some camping fun…

I picked up the cutest magnetic screen protectors, shaped like butterflies… I put the three of them on the patio screen door…

recently I caught this picture of an actual butterfly on the screen…

wondered if it was having a visit with its magnet friends, lol…

during the night it rained a few times but there was sun and blue sky this morning… along with a fair bit of wind…

the weather report called for rain later, but when we walked to the beach the water was pretty rough…

once everyone was up and had a simple breakfast we headed out for a day of shore fishing… and checking out resort stores…

although it rained off and on all day we had lots of fun…

particularly as I caught a small Jack and then the daddy caught a much bigger one… I focussed on improving my casting…

we found every boat launch on the highway in two directions and checked out a few spots we’d never been to before…

once we got back to the trailer, we napped and watched videos as the rain started to come down in a much more serious manner, lol…

had burgers for supper and then played board games…

now it is time for bed, with the hope that the rain will stop by morning…

this morning I ran a number of errands…

paid for my house insurance… it had been in both our names, but after my beloved died and they changed it to my name only, the birthdate was still his… cost me more money when I advised that I wasn’t that age, lol…

also changed over my car insurance to have the payments come out of the bank automatically, as MPI has stopped taking the monthly amounts from credit cards…

went to the credit union where they put a cheque in and immediately made a payment onto my credit card… handy, as there was no need to wait any additional time… added a few accounts and discovered that I could send up to $3,000 via eTransfer, although I am still ticked that they charge for that service…

took Indi for a bath, which she really needed as she’s been driven to Kenora twice in the last while and was covered in bugs…

finally picked up a few groceries before heading home… nice to get all that over with…

then there was eating, tv watching and napping…
