great day…

slept in and watched some tv…

picked up by a friend and we went out for lunch at Pho Hoang… shared some tofu spring rolls and I had seafood chow mein…

great catch-up and delicious lunch… we giggled because we both tried something other than our usual menu choices…

from there we headed to PTE and saw Mom’s the Word: Nest 1/2 Empty…

it was sooooo funny… we laughed all the way through it… brought home 2 delicious homemade gingerbread bars after I ate a tasty fancy almond covered cookie that had homemade jam in it… cannot remember the exact name of either of them, lol…

walked from Portage without any gloves… didn’t realize that they weren’t in my pocket… good thing it was quite warm, lol… and then found them on the sofa;-)…

thinking of so many who are not well these days…

also been doing some reading on grief… it is always comforting to see that others have similar feelings and many of them can express themselves much more eloquently than I…

today I finished wrapping the presents and put them under the tree…

also received a parcel from Ottawa with a few pieces to add to the pile:-)…

it came with a lovely card… it has a heron on it… I love herons…

was going to walk to get my hair cut but after taking out the recycling and garbage decided that it was way too slippery…

enjoying these restful days before the busyness of Christmas Eve and Christmas Day…

we haven’t had much snow so far… on Sunday I walked over to meet my family for breakfast…

snow was gently falling and it was beautiful…

stopped along the way and took this shot of snow on a truck which was right by the sidewalk…

then I got my camera out and took some snowflake pictures… enjoyed the chance to spend some time playing with the camera…

reminded me of all the times that my beloved and I would go places so that I could take pictures… I sure do miss him…

time…

well, what a busy and fun day with my boys…

they came over after an early soccer game and we met for breakfast at the “A“… first time I’ve walked over there in ages…

from there we went shopping and then to the movies… saw Fantastic Beasts, which was great… then back to the mall…

on our way home we stopped at the grocery store to pick up a few final ingredients for our supper…

the oldest grandson arrived just before our meal…

great dinner, the boys tidied up and everyone spent some time on their devices before they headed home…

our walk through the English and Leo Mol Gardens was lovely…

it was cool and overcast but it was nearly empty… hardly anyone else in the entire space…

fabulous to get a bit of exercise and spend time catching up…

it looked like one of the statues was holding up the scaffolding, lol… had to work a bit to get a photo that wasn’t too risqué… looking forward to seeing what changes will be made…

easy to spot our bench, but it looks a bit dull… well, the whole place looks that way…

fun to take pictures with my new camera and see how the plants are preparing for winter…

pleased to finally make it to the Gardens… sorry that it has been so long and I have missed all the Fall beauty…

very happy that we got through the walk without any mist…

early this morning I walked to and from La Belle Baguette to pick up some bread…

the sun was in my eyes on the way there as I walked past the park between Amherst and Sackville at Ness…

on my way home I stopped and got a few pictures of the construction… no changes have happened in this playground for thirty years or so that I can remember…

it is going to be exciting to see what the final area is going to look like…

had dinner out with a good friend tonight… nearly forgot because I don’t usually go out on a weeknight, lol…

it was wonderful to walk over to the restaurant as I’ve been rather lazy recently…

dinner was delicious and we both left with goody bags filled with leftovers…

today was my first Friday back in the office since May…

started the day with a visit to the dentist’s office… have lovely clean teeth now…

dressed casual to ease back into being in the office on a Friday, lol… and brought a snack for everyone… it was the leftover trail mix from Thanksgiving dinner… I had picked up a number of bulk seeds, nuts and smarties and mixed them together… came out great and everyone loved it…

on my lunch break I went for a walk in the sunshine and checked out some cameras… still looking for just the right one to replace my Nikon…

a few pretty plants out there although they were looking a bit rough around the edges close up…

been a full day… up early to get to my doctor’s appointment…

from there went to get Indi washed… she’s happy to be clean after all the bugs and dirt from camping… I think she was a bit embarrassed to be seen while she was so dirty;-)…

on to Polo to pick up meds and a warm pretzel as a reward for a good appointment…

home to put everything away and then walked to the Park to meet a friend and her baby for lunch and a walk around the Gardens… sure do love baby snuggles…

maintained my baby whisperer status as I managed to get her to have a lovely nap as we wandered around…

stopped in at an upholstery shop on the way home to see about getting some sewing done…

now to rest…
