had a great time preparing for a visit from a dear friend…

dug out some shortbread from the freezer, a few Russian Mints… and put out the pistachios in their special dish, which hasn’t been out since before covid…

we had a lovely visit and even did some learning with one of our social media platforms…

always fun to learn something new, and spend time with important people in my life;-)…

was having some trouble with the new photo frame…

for some reason it stopped accepting photos that were sent to it…

after some investigation I discovered that it was offline… wasn’t sure why or how to fix that…

then all of a sudden it was working again…

I’ve also decided to turn it to vertical rather than horizontal… the majority of pictures I take use that orientation…

and was able to change the piece on the back so that the frame stands up the way I want, lol…

Monday night I went out for a hot tub…

it had been warm during the day and there were a ton of icicles over the tub, so I sat in the opposite corner from usual so nothing could fall onto my head, lol…

as I stepped outside I could hear the ice crystals falling so I grabbed my cap to protect my glasses…

it was a bit chilly for anything above the water as the ice crystals continued to fall…

I am still having trouble with the Ring light, which I have to turn off from the garage, no matter what I try on the app…

I was out for quite a while and when I came inside I realized how much snow had come down, lol…

on Monday, we had a “tour” of the redone basement when everyone arrived for our weekly gathering…

my housemate had tidied it up the evening before to be sure it was ready for the event, lol…

there is a lot of technology used in the space and it has been fun to watch as each piece has been installed…

it was interesting listening to the comments particularly as no one had been down there in years…

had my first Uber rides in Winnipeg…

went from home to Total Wrapture spa for pedicures, then on to San Vito for lunch, followed by a return trip home from Foodfare…

it was the perfect day for it as it was very cold, snowy, and windy…

one of the vehicles had automatic sliding doors, which was kind of fun…

after being trained in the process of ordering the ride, and other information on the app, I tried to sign up for it, but it was using my old email address, so we have to get that sorted out and then I will try it on my own…

a great experience, particularly with how quickly they pick you up after contacting them…

Monday was another delightful day at The Leaf…

our group went to view the Fleurs de Villes display after our birthday lunch at Gather…

as always, a walk through the Tropical Biome is rejuvenating…

we had such fun as each of us shared different points of interest as we wandered through the lush vegetation…

we visited the cacao trees, saw coffee beans, enjoyed new vistas of the fish, chatted about the banyan tree, spotted many heliconias, and got dripped on a few times, lol…

we moved on to the Mediterranean Biome for the Fleurs de Villes exhibition…

all of the mannequins (that represent the arts in the city) were very nicely done… we met two of the designers and spotted things we liked at every display… it was amazing to see the details that had been included…

after we’d been around once, most of us went around one more time, as we each made a decision on our favourite and filled out the ballot which we received as we entered the space…

the Fleurs de Villes exhibition is always stunning and such a delight to have had here two years in a row;-)…

one more visit to the exhibition in a few days…
