big girl pants, changes, circles, hermit, retirement, shadows, sun, travel

lately I’ve been hearing a lot of people discussing their retirement plans…

I’m of an age where many people in my circle are considering retiring… some are cutting back their work schedules and others are pulling the plug…

in the women’s groups I meet with, there are only three of us who still work… the others are busy with life and fitting in time for travel…

some days it makes me think about not working but I then I remind myself how much I enjoy my colleagues and the work I do… I like being around people and staying home might mean turning into a hermit… 

I do enjoy my extra day off every few weeks and am looking toward having that opportunity every week…

so many changes to consider…

caught this lovely play of sun and shadows today…

  

daisies…

big girl pants, daisies, garden, George, jolly jump ups, travel

the daisies have taken over the path by the pond…

  
I don’t actually think there were any planted in this garden, lol…

there have been daisies in the backyard for at least twenty-five years…

for many of those years they have travelled back and forth across the garden…

they would be on one side of the yard and within a few weeks would move through the grass… whenever George mowed they would bloom right at grass height and then move a little bit further before he mowed again…  

 

these pictures are from either end of the pathway… the daisies are everywhere, lol…

they are so bright and happy looking… 

  
final bonus today are these jolly jump ups that self seeded…

  
so cute…

 

travel…

bendy bus, big girl pants, hot tub, Ottawa, plane, taxi, travel, walk

was up early, had a hot tub and breakfast…

finished packing my bag…

  
and there seemed to be lots of room left in it… wonder what I forgot!?

taxi to the airport and a short wait before boarding the plane…

  
nice flight…

  
landed in Ottawa, met by my daughter and we took a bendy bus to her house… there are many bendy buses here… at home there are two for the entire city…

  
then we walked to the local strip mall and had a pedicure on our way to pick up groceries for supper…

  
seems like I travelled a lot today using quite a number of modes of transportation, although I didn’t take a boat, lol…

glad to be here safe and sound and have a few days with these kids…
