1 Taking a walk but inevitably stopping for lunch first. We did walk after, in the rain.
2 He loves his burgers and is on a quest to try every burger everywhere. He's got a favourite one but isn't saying it's the winner just yet.
3 Making an assortment of valentines hearts from fabric and wire. I'm thinking I'll make a garland of them for the mantle. Do you think it's best to use traditional reds for fabric or maybe green or yellow might be a cool switch? Maybe I'll experiment.
1 A sweet, kind and thoughtful friend. Thank you for reaching out.
2 Navigating the grocery store is hard enough with grumpy clerks, so finding a sweet smile was a bonus.
3 The flip of my heart when his smile is just for me.
1 Finding relief through simple exercises. Restarting my physio for pelvic strength.
2 Coffee with friends. What a great way to support others and fill my cup too.
3 He's incredibly tired. So I feed him, try to engage with him a bit then he's off to bed extra early.
1 The sun broke through the clouds as I slipped into the hot tub. My spirit soaked in every bit of vitamin D.
2 Working through the pain via the yoga mat and finally finding relief.
3 I'm encouraged by the use of my bionic fingers. Stuff, no pain, and functional.
1 Some days are a walk in the park. And that's exactly what we did.
2 After walking he invited me on a late lunch date. We shared a burger with fries and it's enough for two.
3 The rest of the day was pure laziness. Luxury I'd say.
1 Eggs Benny with new and old friends.
2 Sourcing a local farmer. Mr P says he's a great guy struggling with beaucracy that the government throws at them.
3 Sharing our thoughts. Good stuff and thought provoking.
1 Painting mushrooms. They're delightful.
2 Tonight's menu: Roast beef with potatoes, carrots and squash, smothered in gravy and horseradish.
3 Sunshine. Oh yes, I need vitamin D.
1 Having the driveway plowed. After the dump of snow it was such a blessing.
2 Finding my way back to watercolour painting.
3 He's appreciative of the tasks that I can do. That really goes a long way.
1 A big mistake followed by action equals learning and growth.
2 He needs my help and I'm more than willing.
3 How did I ever get so lucky that my son's chose me to be their mom. I love spending time with them. One son lives close by and today we had a visit, oh my heart is full. The other son lives on the other side of the country so even talking isn't as easy with the time difference, so when he calls or texts it's special too.
1 Homemade soup, granola and biscuits. It was a kitchen day, together.
2 Hot tubbing in the morning. Ooh my back says thank you.
3 A walk to Hardy Falls was exactly what we expected. 90% frozen. It was beautiful.
1 The job of a chiropractor is more than just a bone cracker. They're a counselor, nurse, dr and sometimes if you're lucky a friend.
2 He massages my spine area with zero knowledge of what he's doing but goes slowly and carefully and it helps. Healing hands of comfort.
3 It was -26C. We're in an extended deep freeze here. Baby it's cold outside. No it's really, really freaking cold.
1 Spending most of the day with the littles, a middle and 1 big. Loved it.
2 He's home from work early and enjoys his day instead of working in the deep freeze cold.
3 She spends all of her time with us, sharing her ideas and we soak it all in.
4 Who's crazy enough to go hot tubbing at -25 C?!? Uh huh, yup we sure did. Short and sweet
1 We meet for a quick lunch, a few hugs and I can feel her excitement to be spending a week with her granddaughter. Just the two of them.
2 A brisk quick walk in these frigid temperatures. I found frozen ice on the creek and wondered how long it would take for it to freeze solid.
3 Seeing how he looks at me after a very long workday. I appreciate his presence.
1 Snow days are the best. I love hearing the stillness.
2 I'm overwhelmed at times at the kindness and goodness that is the foundation of my husband's character.
3 Hearing the good news she has means that things are definitely hopeful.
1 Having a flexible schedule means time for family and friends.
2 Her birthday's Saturday and I'm enjoying the planning.
3 Pork tenderloin with applesauce, roast veggies and a green salad. He's happy to be fed and looked after, especially after a tough, long work day. I'm happy to give this to him.
1 Happy New Year
2 The bigs and littles are starting off the new year with lunch at our home.
3 Warm temperatures and green grass on January first 2024. Yes please.
