big girl pants, change, cleaners, leftovers, open, Shadow, snowflakes, women

had to make two trips out to the car this morning so that I could get everything changed over and in the proper places… now the trunk has the grocery boxes and bags as well as the safety equipment, and the glove compartment contains the registration and maps, and most importantly, there is change available for grocery carts, lol…

  
Shadow looked pretty good in the parking spot at work…

tonight when I arrived home and came out of the garage I saw this…

  
the back door was open… 

the cleaners had been in the morning and likely took out garbage, but I was a bit nervous to enter… what if someone had actually broken in… yikes… 

I called the owner of the business as I went into the house and she stayed on the line while I walked through all three floors to be sure there was no one besides me there… 

luckily it was a warm day so nothing froze… basement was fairly cool, though…

had a visit with my amazing friends, and treats…

  
these are the leftovers that I am going to have to eat over the next little while… yum… only had a small handful of nuts and bolts and stopped at two shortbread cookies…

got a lovely picture of snowflakes on my way up the stairs…

big girl pants, collector, fabric, moments, quilter, stash, women

had a wonderful evening with some amazing women…

a delicious dinner where we shared stories and updates on our lives… followed by a few chapters of a very interesting book with some thought provoking questions…

these women have been with me for many years and through many experiences… some quite amazing and others very difficult…

at the end of our gathering out came someone’s stash of fabric for a quilting project… many of these women are serious quilters…

  

I have been a fabric collector for a number of years… I have gathered it, but don’t actually make things… use it for decorative purposes… 

haven’t been in a fabric store for at least five years, but I must say that looking at the stash did make my fingers itch a bit… 

my life has changed and I don’t have a need for fabric at this point in my life, but do enjoy seeing what’s out there…

enjoyed the moments…

had a wonderful day… I am really enjoying these every other Mondays off…

keep tripping over the bag full of acorn, spaghetti and delicata squash that we picked up on Sunday…

  
going to put them into a basket downstairs where it is a little cooler… and I won’t trip over them, lol…

  
had a wonderful time with this marvellous group of women… meatloaf, bean salad, broccoli, bread and brownies for supper… lots of laughter, sharing and warmth… 

as well as reading, thinking and talking about Life is Like a Pot of Soup, we kept checking on the election results and baseball scores, lol…
when I arrived home there was a light waiting to guide me to the back door…

  
nice to have that welcoming beacon…

and just now, a cute little friend landed beside me…

  
need to be careful not to squash it…

amazing…

amazing, big girl pants, flowers, friendship, women

started the day with a picture of these tiny flowers in the barrel which has the water plants in it…

  
on the drive to work I got this shot of the sky… it was stunning, although a bit ominous in one direction…

  
at some point in the day the sun came out, which was great while it lasted…

the temperature didn’t go up much and by the time we left the office it was still chilly… and the sky had that gray look that makes you think of snow…

  
with the frosty nights and the chilly day this little flower was blooming at the front door, even as the plant looks half dead…

then I headed out for a wonderful dinner with my good friends… we were celebrating two birthdays… had a great time together and an excellent meal at the Peasant Cookery… 

these amazing women have been been with me through good and bad times…

  
wishing you this kind of friendship at some point in your life…

badge, big girl pants, blessed, group, leaves, like, trees, women

had a bit of a giggle when I got this badge the other day…

  
seems like a strange number for an award, lol… maybe 1000, or 1250, or 1500… but 1337?

still enjoy every like, follow and comment that I get…

Thursday I took a picture of the leaves starting to turn on a tree on the street…

  
took this picture of the same tree tonight as I walked down the street…

  
colours have seriously changed… not sure that I like that…

a small group of us met tonight and had a great conversation… 

these women are an amazing sounding board and have been there to support one another for many years… truly blessed with such friendship…
