so excited this morning when the new phone case I ordered awhile ago, via Etsy, arrived in the mailbox…

it has a slightly bigger wallet portion so I was hopeful it would let me add a few additional cards to it…

it came in a lovely black felt envelope which I will be able to use for something else;-)… the colour is a pale mauve and it has a strap so it can be worn like a crossbody bag…

it does have more room for cards which makes me very happy as I no longer carry a purse…

it is a touch thicker, so I am getting used to that, but so far I am very pleased…

although I didn’t think I’d use the strap, I have found it quite handy, lol…

last year, on our final camping trip of the season, the strap on the kneeboard broke…

the board came from my son-in-law’s grandparents and he is very attached to it… new boards are designed differently and he doesn’t like them…

so, recently I started searching for someone who might fix the strap…

found strapping and Velcro and spoke with a local upholsterer who agreed to do the sewing for us…

once my son-in-law checked out the strapping we realized it wasn’t quite right… he found some from a ratchet he had at home and we dropped off the Velcro and strapping to be sewn…

now we have a nice new strap… it should get attached to the board in the next few days;-)…

last night on my way home I stopped and picked up some beautiful flowers…

divided them up and took half to the office this morning…

have a new technique when I take flowers in the car… put them in one of the cloth/fabric grocery bags and then strap them into the car seat…

works great to keep them from getting crushed and they stay upright on the trip… 

enjoyed them all day;-)…

the others are in the bedroom where I can enjoy them all evening…

this afternoon I ordered a set of straps for my fitbit… 

this was rather fun because I’ve been meaning to do this for a long time…

I had purchased a violet strap which has developed a tear so I’ve been wearing my black strap, but really missing the pretty one…

  
when my Ottawa kids were here last June, my son-in-law picked up a power bar with USB ports in it… he attached it to the wall by the couch in the living room and tied up all the cord… very tidy…

  
I use it all the time to charge my fitbit, and even my phone when I need it to be on the main floor…

my fitbit has been a great help for me… since I got it I’ve tried to make sure I met my step goal every day… since my diabetes diagnosis it has helped keep track of other exercise and I have combined it with MyFitnessPal which records my food intake…

technology is pretty cool…
