assistance, big girl pants, breakfast, family, grandson, shopping, shoveling, sleepover, snow, widow

started the weekend watching skating as the various teams get ready for the Olympics…

on Saturday my son-in-law and two youngest grandsons came over and we went shopping at Costco and Save-On-Foods… I love it when we shop together because there is ample assistance to bring in all the items, lol…

we prepped ribs, baked them and then my son-in-law finished them off on the bbq… supper was delicious with rice, asparagus and Caesar salad…

when they left, the middle grandson stayed behind for a sleepover and we watched some skiing before bed…

this morning we woke up to fresh snow on the ground… snow pants on both of us, we decided to walk to the “A” for breakfast… wasn’t too cold going as the wind was behind us…

after breakfast we walked around Bruce Park to collect poke balls… the wind came up now and again so it was a bit chilly on the way home…

he shovelled and then helped me package up meat for the freezer… then we put away the last of the Christmas decorations…

he was picked up around noon and then I went back to watching sports and napping for the remainder of the day…

Quiet day…

doing chores, missing George, quiet day, remembering, shoveling

had a lovely quiet day today…  it was quite miserable outside for a good part of the day… it wasn’t till around 4 or so that the wind died down and you could hear shoveling and snow blowing happening…

yesterday when we were walking around the zoo, Tavin and I were remembering that last year about this time we all visited the zoo and he made Grandpa read him every one of the signs, because Tavin couldn’t read then… I found this shot of them…

reading each and every sign at the zoo February 2012...

reading each and every sign at the zoo February 2012…

I spent some time doing a few chores and made some soup… then I napped and watched tv for a fair bit of the day…  it was a great break…

the only hard work was going out and shoveling the sidewalk to the street and from the steps to the driveway…  it was amazing how much snow blew into those couple of spots… I didn’t shovel out to the hot tub, but will try to do that tomorrow evening…

spent a few hours with my BS buddies and ate some wonderful carrot cake, yum…

now that all the Valentine’s Day hype is over, I have settled back to a more normal space, where, although I am missing George, it isn’t making me crazy…

was talking with some friends and they were commenting on how well I have managed since his death…

I only know that I have to keep moving forward, one step at a time, never forgetting George, but not living in the past either…

I enjoyed the day, thanks be…
