big girl pants, cuocakes, Dairy Queen, disappointing, lobster, The Keg, tv

picked up by my daughter and grandson after work today…

we wandered around Rona for a while and then went to The Keg for dinner... lobster summer… disappointing tonight…

  
my lobster was tasty and the steak was well done, but there wasn’t too much of it… the coleslaw wasn’t to my taste… had a bit of an Asian flavour to it which didn’t feel like it went with the rest of the food on the plate… felt like the prices have gone up and the standards have gone down… too bad as I’ve always felt you could get a good meal there…

then we went to Dairy Queen for dessert… my favourite thing is really just a small soft ice cream cone… but we were taken in by the cute little ice cream cupcakes…

  
sigh, should have got the ice cream cone…

always good to try new things, but sometimes it is best to stick with what you know, lol…

final disappointment of the evening… my daughter looked at the tv and came to the same conclusion as I had… it is dead… good news is they probably have one I can use…

great to spend time with them…

tv…

big girl pants, bunny, garden, goldfinches, goldfish, pond, treats, tv

woke up early this morning and turned the tv on…

well, tried to turn it on… last night it was working fine, but this morning it is completely dead… sigh… I spend a lot of time on the bed watching it… tried everything I could think of, but nothing worked…

went, did grocery shopping, brought it home and put it all away…

then I rearranged the main floor tv room so that I felt comfortable watching in there…

spent a lot of time in the garden… there are at least two baby goldfish and possibly three… must have sat at the edge of the pond for half an hour watching for them…

  
moved the lounge chair onto the back deck so I could sit in it and watch the bird feeders… might just leave it there…

  
the goldfinches have been around and about… the garden just brightens up when the little flashes of yellow and light green flit past… and I even saw the bunny in the neighbour’s yard… 

much cooler today and sort of overcast, well not sunny, for a good portion of the day…

  
did pick up a few treats for next weekend in case I go camping again with the kids… we all love chips and I got the makings for s’mores… packed them all up in a bag ready to go…

technology…

apps, big girl pants, internet, Technology, tv

had a wonderful discussion with a couple of people as we shared ways that technology can help us…

talked about apps that make it possible to use your phone to do things more easily… and apps that help you streamline your email… energizing…

then, when I got home, I discovered that the tv in the bedroom had no signal… ignored it for a while hoping it would get its signal back… had a nap, tried it again… still nothing…

checked the main floor tv and it worked perfectly… went to the basement and turned the router off and on and came back upstairs… and the tv worked…

then I tried to send an email from my phone… and it wouldn’t connect…

shut down and restarted the computer… still nothing…

called MTS and went through the whole process again…

got a great workout running up and down the stairs, lol…

finally everything is working…
