the weather has been going from very hot to rather chilly but I have refused to turn the furnace on… it just seems too soon…

I had turned off the heated tiles in the bathroom in June as it got warmer as a cool floor was a nice feeling…

a few days ago I gave in and turned it back on… amazing how warm toes make me feel warm all over, lol…

I am still wearing sweaters or a sarong if I am cold elsewhere in the house…

hope the weather turns and stays warm again soon…

my toenails are purple again… I think they’ve been naked since January…

while we were at the cottage my friend and her daughter combined a red nail polish with a dark blue polish and produced a one-of-a kind, just for me, purple… it was lovely to have a foot massage and get my nails painted…

I keep looking down at my toes and thinking what is that, lol…

what a wonderful treat… I am so blessed…

today I finally made it to Total Wrapture for a pedicure…

I’ve been waiting for a while but things hadn’t fallen into place until today…

it was time to give my nails a rest, so I kept my socks on while I waited for my appointment as I wouldn’t be having them painted…

the last few times when I’d had the paraffin treatment, it seemed that the polish came off sooner so I haven’t had it for ages… since I wasn’t having polish I decided to have the paraffin treatment…

it was lovely and my feet felt so soft afterwards… also nice to leave without worrying about smudging toes, lol…

they will have a good break without polish and will be ready for colour when I start to wear sandals again…

what a wonderful evening…

supper out with some very special women…

tried shrimp stuffed eggplant at Blaze Bistro… tasty…

then it was off for pedicures… such fun…

as we left the spa the sky was dark gray… getting into the car it was starting to spit…

by the time I arrived home I’d driven through sheets of rain, loads of lightening and waterlogged streets… that part wasn’t so fun, lol…

as I write this the thunder is rolling around the sky… it looks amazing out there… and is currently sounding like fireworks… yikes…

but my toes are stunning;-)…

our final full day here… some of us went shopping while some went to the pool… had a chance to go into the Sea Shell Museum… well, the main floor which was a giant store where you could purchase many, many types of shells… 

I was so overwhelmed that I ended up just taking a picture, lol…

then I found a tablecloth that I really needed and which may end up as a light blanket for my bed… also picked up some chocolate with mango liquor in it:-)…

when we got back to the hotel we joined the others at the pool where we read and played in the water for ages… had our lunch on the patio overlooking the ocean in two shifts…

more pool time and then a last chance to get our toes wet in the ocean… 

the middle grandson and I went for a last wander down the beach and I came upstairs to pack my bag…

supper with our favourite wait person – Jhonaten and it was seafood night…

I have had shrimp at every opportunity as it is what this area of Mexico is known for… 

a final sunset and we are all ready to head to the airport and home early in the morning…

great times and wonderful memories of family fun;-)…

my roomie and I…

while all the kids were here, we three girls went for a pedicure at Total Wrapture…

my toes were purple when we arrived, lol…

really like Total Wrapture… they have six chairs, set up three across from the other three… so we have our own little area…

one girl’s came out gray with one shiny toe on each foot…the other ended up orange…

and this will surprise you I’m sure… my toes ended up purple… we searched for quite a while to find just the right colour…this shade seemed like the closest to my hair colour…

pretty toes make me happy…

yesterday I had my hair freshly purpled…


George always loved how it just popped when the sun shone on it… it really does glow in the sunlight… needed it, because it was barely visible…

took this picture of one of the purple blooms by the back door…


today, got my toes done…

took my own polish because last time they didn’t have any good shades of purple… 

not sure if that was wise because two of my toes smushed way after I got home… good news was I had polish to fix them… although the polish is very old… I assumed it would stay good forever but I guess we will see…


this morning I took this picture of the irises beside the pond which just opened… the Veronica (speedwell) is blooming very nicely along the neighbour’s garage…

fair bit of purple today, lol… 

all ready for my trip… well, once the bags get packed, lol…

we got up early so my daughter could call her husband to be sure he was up… he was spending the day flying to get here… quite a circuitous route… we didn’t want him to miss his ride… 

it was beautiful outside and I got this shot of the snow hanging from the neighbour’s roof…

  
made breakfast and then we popped out to get a few last minute groceries… my Winnipeg daughter picked us up and we went for pedicures…

  
pretty toes for everyone… mine are purple… 

  
nice time… one child went off visiting and the other headed home…

I had a nap and then got some prep done for our Christmas dinner tomorrow night…

  
started with the stuffing… my favourite… then turnip and potatoes… put some of the stuffing into muffin tins… the rest will go into the turkey…

had a lovely time watching some luge, skiing, and show jumping in between the prep work… haven’t had the opportunity to watch much sports so really enjoyed the time this afternoon…

food is ready for cooking now and first thing in the morning I will get the table set…

going to watch a few shows and then head to bed… the visitors are sleeping over with the grandkids so I will see them later tomorrow…

quiet evening:-)…

started the day with a walk to the grocery store to pick up some dishwasher soap… sadly I had none and was having company for dinner so needed to get the current dirty dishes washed… 

decided to walk to get my exercise and it was sunny and warm out, so away I went… sign on the door of the store advised that their internet was down and they were only taking cash… usually I have sixty or eighty dollars in my wallet, but when I checked there was only a ten dollar bill… luckily the soap was only $7, phew…

I’ve been doing a lot of big girl pants activities recently and thought I deserved a treat, so called and booked an appointment for a pedicure…  

had to wait for my time slot but really enjoyed the pedicure… had a lovely young woman who was very gentle and gave me a wonderful foot massage which is my favourite part, lol.. pretty toes now…    

picked up some sushi and tried to get the car washed, but there was a huge lineup so I just kept driving…

had a rest, tidied the house and waited for friends to arrive for dinner…

had a wonderful evening…

had a very busy day today…

slept in until 8, and don’t think I stopped since then, until about an hour ago…

met the kids for breakfast at The Original Pancake House where I got to have my favourite chicken livers and potato pancakes… yum, can’t even remember the last time I had these…

from there we went shopping where I found two pairs of pants and a new scarf… we looked at chairs and treadmills… had our toes pedicured and I even got a dragonfly painted on one of mine…

finally, got this beautiful shot of the sky as we were getting into the car just before I dropped the kids off at the bus stop…

bought groceries, came home and unloaded all my purchases…

had leftover chicken livers for my supper, and napped for an hour… thinking about heading out for a hot tub…
