today I spent time preparing for our trip…

went through my closet and tried on the various bits and pieces of summer clothing…

chose black, white and gray as my colour scheme… with a few pops of purple;-)…

went to the mall and bought new sandals, runners and flip flops… 

came home and did loads of laundry so that everything was ready for packing… 

started with a small suitcase and then changed to a large one, lol… 

I know I have too much stuff, but I want a few options… last time I travelled I felt I didn’t have enough things to wear…

now the trick will be to have it weigh less than 50 pounds…

still have a few days to add things… which could be the problem, lol… 

George was particularly good at adding things at the end so we would always need another bag at the last minute… but he also had an amazing ability to fit everything into a tiny space… was fun to watch…

bought some new pyjamas on the weekend when I was shopping with the boys…

they are very comfortable… only problem is that the bottoms are about six inches too long, lol…

thought about just chopping them off but after checking the idea out with a sewer realized that wasn’t such a good plan…

today I took them to City Place to get shortened… will be ready tomorrow afternoon… just in time for the packing plan…

have all of the summer clothes out but haven’t had time to try them on to be sure they fit and decide on which pieces to pack… a Saturday job…

need to decide whether I need a new pair of walking sandals… guess I better make up my mind soon…

last night this box of empty Advent boxes left the house to be filled…

my daughter finds things throughout the year and then arranges for the items to get here… this year her good friend was there last week and when she came home she brought all the stuff to fill the boxes…  they were in her suitcase, which was lost for two days… thankfully it arrived in town night before last;-)…

tonight the Advent Elf came by with a box of filled boxes…

they look wonderful… it is always such fun to open one each morning…

but box number one is missing;-(… too funny considering the suitcase had been lost too…

the Elf came back and now all of the boxes are here and I have one to open tomorrow morning…

so exciting…

vacation day four…

got up, had breakfast, and went to pick up groceries for our turkey dinner tomorrow night…

while we were out I found a great pair of black runners, which I wore for the rest of the day… my feet are a bit sore from all the walking…

came home, put away the groceries and went downtown to have lunch at The Smoque Shack… the beef
bones were delicious and reminded me of Tony Roma’s…

20140428-220053.jpghad a wonderful drink…

20140428-220332.jpgwandered around Byward Market for a while and found a great dessert shop – Oh So Good, which serves cake by the piece much like Baked Expectations…

20140428-220828.jpgwe stopped in at Letellier and found sandals and work shoes… there is some conversation that I might need another suitcase, lol…

walked along the canal in the sun looking for tulips, before taking the bus back home…

had a nap, prepped potatoes, turnip and stuffing… swam in the building’s pool before dinner and watched some tv…

getting to be an old hand with the transit system…

the weather was beautiful and it was another great day:-)…

preparing…

ran out with Crystal and the boys this morning to find a few last items for the garden… couldn’t find exactly what I wanted and when we got home it was rainy and cool so we didn’t do any planting after all…

picked up a few items that I still needed for the trip… got a great rain jacket, some bigger sticks for both cameras, a battery for one and a cute little tripod to replace one that George had given me and I passed along to Cyndi…

new jacket and bits and pieces for the cameras...

spent a good portion of the day laying things out to take… tonight I put the majority of them into the suitcase… spent quite a while decided on which suitcase to take, thinking a little one might do, lol… the big one is just about full to bursting…

suitcase is filling up fast...

suitcase is filling up fast…

still have to figure out what I will use for the carry on and how much needs to go in it… let’s see, two cameras, tripod, meds, contacts, yikes, still have quite a bit to do…

don’t know how one minute it was months to wait to go on the cruise, and now I leave in just a few days and don’t really appear to be ready…

getting excited…
