Friday morning I put on my runners and went for a walk… first time in months as I’ve been worried about snow and ice…

I also took a book to drop at the Little Library on the next street…

I didn’t take my usual path as I wanted to collect Poké balls while I was out… went up to Portage, down the next street and then detoured past an area that had lots of Pokéstops and collected various items along the way… finished along another main drag until I was back at my street…

might do that again as I continue to walk further each time I go out…

interesting that I didn’t take a single photo, lol…

nice to be checking out the neighbourhood again and looking forward to getting to the Park soon;-)…

it appears that Thursday is our order-in/treat night…

sometimes it is frozen pizza, other times something gets picked up or ordered in;-)…

yesterday’s treat was wonton soup from Alfy’s…

it was tasty and I had leftovers for lunch today…

we also got some tempura shrimp and veggie spring rolls…

I like treat night;-)…

sarongs…

time to update the living room table…

I decided on sarongs in each square and then books from various trips for me to enjoy during this birthday month…

ran the sarongs through the wash to get rid of any wrinkles and then filled in the squares… went with purple and orange… purple for me, and orange for my daughter, with whom I went on many of the trips, lol…

looks bright and fresh and I have lots of special moments to enjoy;-)…

today a box of goodies arrived from the kids in Ottawa…

it was filled with treats from as far back as Advent and souvenirs from trips to Mexico, Paris, and Sicily… it included the last envelope from Happy Mail for Chocolate Lovers… and a stick with photos and documents from my former laptop…

what fun to open each item with its note explaining where it came from… now to figure out where each piece will go and start wearing some of them…

I am so spoiled…

happy birthday month to me;-)…

what a lovely springish day…

this morning I spent time reading on the deck, in the sunshine… had a blanket and jacket on, but didn’t need gloves…

then a gathering with my cronies… even got a photo of the group with all the snacks… besides the mini eggs, pistachios, almonds, candy hearts, and chocolate mango pieces, hot cross buns and chocolate vanilla pinwheel cookies arrived with the crew;-)…

after everyone left, I enjoyed more time in the sunshine reading in the living room…

sunlight and warm temperatures… and it is supposed to be warm and sunny all week;-)… woohoo…

since the girls were born, I’ve been giving them books for birthdays and holidays… I’ve done the same for my grandkids, but now we’ve worked up to gift cards as it isn’t clear what they might like to read…

now I don’t really have anyone to buy books for, but I have a new neighbour who has just turned two, so I’m getting books for him now…

it is such fun to buy little people books…

on Friday a city (I think) truck came by and stopped in front of the house…

the person got out, undid something on the fire hydrant that lives in front of the cedar, and put a ten or twelve foot hose down it…

nothing happened… then they took out the hose, closed the hydrant and got back into the vehicle…

after a few minutes they drove away…

so the question is, does the hydrant work or not… kind of concerned 😟…

dim…

I’ve been trying to note how long I am out in the hot tub each night, so I take a screenshot of the time as I leave the house and another once I come in…

tonight I made it out to the hot tub in time to watch the Space Station fly over… I haven’t seen it for quite a while…

this time, as it came over the house it was a bright light, but about halfway across the open space above me it started to dim and then it vanished…

it has done this before and I wonder if it is rotating a bit and then doesn’t have the sun shining on it…

it always makes me happy to see it, especially on such a beautiful evening…
