had a fun time yesterday with my buddy…

we went clothes shopping and I got a beautiful lightweight purple sweater with pearls and silver dots on it… and it was on sale…

after that we stopped and picked up a few groceries before going to the Good Earth for the lunch buffet…

I got to visit with the koi for a few moments…

I even walked up from the end of the street, lol…

then there was a nap;-)…

on Sunday we took a trip to Safeway to find some spring plants… this is the time of year that I need lots of things blooming around me…

we found individual pots of hyacinth and crocus… then a pot with tulips, daffodils, primrose, and hyacinth in it… I got them all, lol…

I am enjoying watching them as they open and anticipating the scent;-)…

had a lovely time on Thursday…

started out with shovelling the sidewalk… my oh my, we had a lot of snow since yesterday…

then friends arrived to pick me up and take me to Polo Park to mall walk… it was very nice to be able to walk in a space without ice and snow, where there was lots of space, and few people…

forty minutes and three laps later, we went to their house and had a lovely visit and lunch…

we topped lunch off with a few pieces of dark chocolate…

later I was brought home with a bagful of books to add to the stair bookshelf;-)…

what a wonderful treat…

for years the catches on the cabinet under the fish tank have not worked…

last week we picked up some new fasteners that I wasn’t sure would fix the problem…

Monday morning I took out the magnetized pieces, added gorilla tape to each of them and fastened them to the door after removing one magnet and cleaning off the tape and glue with one of my Christmas presents, a scraping tool…

such a little thing, but fixing it and having it work properly makes me so happy;-)…

on Thursday the blue screen of death showed up on the laptop…

apparently on Monday, when the camera kept failing during our video call, it was a harbinger of the computer’s end of life…

I spent quite a bit of time on Friday morning searching for the sales slip from January 2nd, 2020, when I purchased it in Ottawa, without success… I did find the record in my credit card statements, but after contacting Best Buy, discovered there was no extended warranty…

did some research and went to Best Buy… had a plan to purchase the same computer, but an updated version…

in the end I found a slightly higher quality machine and was happy they actually had it in the store… after consulting with my two computer geeks, brought it home and we spent time in the afternoon getting it filled with all “the stuff” I need…

the old machine fit beautifully into the box the new one came in, and will take a trip to my son-in-law to see if he is able to save anything on it…

I had some fun in the evening doing some personalization and making it my own, lol…

it will be interesting to see what I forgot I needed, lol…

I love to read, so was very happy that one of my presents was a gift card to Chapters…

we went shopping and I found five books, and a series which will be a gift…

not exactly sure why we went on Tuesday (Boxing Day), but it was worthwhile… the books were all 30% off with another 10% because of my membership, and then the gift card…

was pleased with the great savings, and looking forward to some good reads…

had a fun trip to Shelmerdine today…

wasn’t going to get anything, but three Christmas gifts jumped right into the cart…

and I found one of the amaryllis plants coated in wax, that grow without water… hummed and hawed, but in the end had to get one…

it is now sitting on the living room table and I can’t wait to see it grow and produce some flowers;-)

went for a walk on Friday… it was lovely out…

first stop was the Little Library I usually stop at… when I was last there, there were only a few books, so I went through some of mine and filled a backpack to drop off…

I also included a couple of the extra bookmarks I made last Christmas…

from there I walked to the Post Office to drop a package in the mail and on my way back stopped into Ultracuts for a haircut…

since my last visit, I may have taken the scissors to my hair a few times, lol… didn’t take long, or really that much hair being snipped, to look tidy again…

as I walked home, I stopped and collected some morning glory seeds from the outside of a fence… these flowers are a lighter purple…

I’ve been watching them for a while, waiting for the pods to be ready for picking;-)…

got lots done;-)…

October 14th there will be a solar eclipse…

I was able to purchase some eclipse glasses from Manitoba Museum and have them mailed to me…

since then I’ve given some to my BS buddies…

we are thinking about an eclipse party on the 14th, although the weather may not cooperate…

looking forward to the day…
