had a delightful afternoon with a dear friend…

she makes decorating for the season so much fun… both of us are team players and we work well together…

we did some of the usual set-ups and then tried something new… we hung a collection of wreaths together on the wall… looks good…

I can’t even say how many collections I have… more and more I am bringing out less and less… I think that January and February might be a good time to go through the boxes and pass many items along to others…

the living room looks lovely and spending time together brought out my holiday spirit;-)…

went for a pedicure with a great friend who I hadn’t seen in quite a while…

it was lovely to spend time together and catch up on one another’s goings on…

when I first started getting pedicures they were very difficult as my feet are sensitive and it was hard to sit through all the cutting, filing, and pushing that is part of the process…

recently that hasn’t been a problem, but this time one foot was just so sensitive that I could barely stand the process…

my esthetician rewarded me with an extra long massage when it was all done;-)…

and I have pretty toes again…

last night I had dinner with a trio of special women, two of whom I just met, lol…

I had soup and five mini crab cakes with roasted garlic mayo, apple salad and mixed greens… very tasty… everyone else had scallops…

after a relaxing meal we travelled to the Cirque du Soleil tent on Kenaston to see Amaluna…

it was excellent… I’m always amazed at the flexibility of the performers and what they can make their bodies do… it was also fun to see a performance under the big top, which reminded me again of my first time at Cirque du Soleil in Montreal many years ago;-)…

a wonderful treat…

met a wonderful dear woman for a pedicure recently…

we haven’t had an opportunity to visit for ages, so it was fabulous to have time together… we worked together for a few years and clicked instantly… she made my life so much better…

we both chose shades of purple for our toes and then were treated to excellent service by our technicians…

so blessed to have the opportunity to spend time with special friends… life is good…

since my diabetes diagnosis I have tried to stay away from bread except for rare occasions…

today I made a tomato sandwich on a mini olive ciabatta… the only other thing on it was Miracle Whip…

I picked up the bread yesterday and had a tomato from our CSA box this week…

it was a delicious treat…

reminded me of all the wonderful tomato sandwiches that my beloved made for me over the years… took the longest time to realize the reason they were so delicious was the amount of Miracle Whip slathered on them, lol…

last night I got to watch my son-in-law and oldest grandson play soccer…

my son-in-law recently joined a mixed league… they were playing last night and this was my first opportunity to watch him…

the team needed a spare so my grandson came to play…

such fun to watch the dad, who has coached a number of the boys’ teams, actually on the playing field…

I really enjoyed seeing them play together… what a treat…

yesterday turned out to be quite a fun day…

instead of laying on my bed and watching tv all day I went out with a few friends…

on our way to St. Norbert Farmers’ Market we stopped at La Belle Baguette for some bread…

I haven’t been to the Market for years… it has certainly grown and improved… there are more makers and the main covered building is wonderful… while we were there it poured for about five minutes, and we were under the canopy the whole time…

after an entertaining time there, we went out for lunch… the sky was a bit foreboding and all of a sudden it poured… for another five minutes… by the time we got to the restaurant it had stopped;-)…

great fun… finished the last bits of that lunch for tonight’s supper…

pleasant…

well, what a pleasant surprise…

the cleaners came today… they usually come on the first Monday of the month and I expected they wouldn’t be here until next week as yesterday was a holiday…

luckily, I tidied up this morning before I left for work…
