had lunch at Gather and it was delicious…
I had the gyro…

my housemate had the wrap and enjoyed it immensely…
both meals were filling and reasonably priced…
as always, it felt like a treat to be there…

been wanting to wrap the door with fabric, like ribbon on a present…
consulted with a friend and went online to find just the right fabric…
was looking for silver, but in the end ordered some glittery tulle…
it arrived last week and I decided on a plan…
first I removed the curtain that had been hanging over the window and replaced it with bubble wrap to act as insulation;-)… that was fun and it is just held there with water…
next I unwrapped the glittery tulle and figured out how much I needed… I tied it but with the knot on the inside of the door and I realized it needed to be on the outside, so I undid it and then redid it the other way…
then it looked a bit empty so I dug out a wreath made from three others… removed one and hung the other two on the tulle…
and to finish it off, hung a glittery bow on the inside…
looks pretty good;-)…

a parcel arrived from the kids in Ottawa… once I received text permission to open it, I discovered 3 boxes, a package that said it needed to go into the fridge, and a small chocolate bar, lol…
I had fun wrapping them and put purple ribbons on them before adding them to the growing pile under the tree… they are the first gifts for me…
it was funny to wrap my own parcels, but was a reminder of the few times I might have purchased my own gift, wrapped and put it under the tree… although usually those items would go to my beloved and he would wrap them up, lol…
fun memories… nice that now I can mostly look back on them without tears…

excellent first day of holidays…
slept in a bit, had breakfast and watched some tv…
then I spent a lovely few hours listening to Christmas carols and wrapping presents…
the kids came over and we did a run to Costco to pick up a few final items needed for the season…
while we were gone the oldest grandson shovelled the sidewalk, driveway and backyard…
they brought over the makings for tacos for supper and we gobbled them up…
after supper a bit of work went into the fish tank and the babies were added in… we hope they make it but they’d stopped growing in the bowl…
pretty nice day…
