Well I treated myself to supper at the Red Top and had the whole place to myself! Their Sunday hours are 9-9pm. Usually I go for a scrumptious late breakfast or a shared lunch of gyro or chicken fingers with the girls. The meals are huge and three of us don't finish the 1 order of fries! Today I had a 2 piece chicken dinner with tossed salad and again only ate 1 piece, the side salad and not even half the fries - the other piece and fries came home with me for tomorrow!!! I just might try the chicken dinner again! YUMMY!!!

Okay, now that I've regained some energy I went through the pile of clothes that again I'm sure I've not worn for a year or so. Some are summer capris and pants and those I'll try on first and decide if I'll wear them. Even a couple of black dress pants - all on smaller sizes. Now that I've room in my back closet, I can hang those up, if they are keepers! WOW there's lots going out the door soon.

Ohhhh it feels wonderful to get this head of hot unruly hair tamed again! Just in time for my trip next month!!! Thank you Adele for making me cool and pretty again! 🥰
OMGG!!! I must be sick, NOT!!!
See today I went through my double wide dresser of tshirts and threw out 13 that were well worn, and the other half off for recycling. Also a drawer full of printed events tees that are humongous men's styles that I'll line up and take pics of the decals/embroidery and then donate them too. So now my tshirts n sweaters all fit in. That is except those that have printing on them, hung in the now roomy closet. Dang I could not believe the clothes in smaller sizes I found, no need to buy anymore.

Slow start today but lovely Northern Lights Lace gathering, last till the fall! Then Boston Pizza lunch of shared chicken wings n salad with Edna then home to do some hand stitching. Sylvia wanted to do something for supper, I suggested Casino and she agreed. The only drawback is me leaving downtown in 4:15 rush hour traffic and construction, took an hour to Niakwa to pick her up. Supper was awesome taste and cost wise as both of us had discounts plus points further reducing the total. Then in to play some games and both of us came home with what we put in plus me $10 (not on the Gold Fish this time) and Sylvia $18 extra on two different Gold Fish. I like that mucho better playing 1.5 hours, breaking even and getting pocket change too!

It was awesome to visit and have lunch with Ruth at the Southdale Village Family Restaurant today. Also I passed on some clothes to her to look over and return those not to her liking etc, as Iona gave me a sad face that I shared some with Ruth. I did tell her they still may come her way. Then I picked up some Kinsmen Bingo cards for Saturday's game, apparently Mississippi Jack's on Fermor still had cards today, my first time in maybe 30 years to play again!

So for my last trip, Sylvia lent me her backpack to try out. I loved it as it was roomier than mine plus lightweight and fit carryon size. The only drawback was the large company logo on the upper pocket, oh well, it was free. So when I returned it after my trip, she said I could keep it and immediately I was thinking on how to cover the logo up. I decided to embellish a piece of lovely dragonfly fabric I had and added some batting for depth, plus gluing the inside knots for longevity. Totally love it!
"Dragonflies symbolize good fortune and prosperity, and can definitely indicate a positive experience is on its way."
"Dragonflies were given an extra set of wings so that angels could ride on their backs."
Gosh it's been that long since I made that landscape OR was it a memory then that popped up?
Well this is the latest project, covering up the law office name with some hopefully Good Luck dragonfly fabric I embroidered and beaded for my upcoming trip!

So I'm still celebrating my birthday Saturday!!! This time was a lovely BBQ supper with Angela and Bruce. She made bruchetta, BBQd lamb roast, stuffed zucchini boats and served with her yummy potato salad. I was stuffed and could not have a second helping, my usual with her scrumptious meals! We finished off later on with graham cracker base (I think) lemon meringue pie (my favourite) and coffee! Definitely stuffed plus take home too, even with mint jelly! Her garden and patio is beautiful in daylight and in the evening too!
Thank you sweetie, for the lovely BBQ, awesome visit and Happy Birthday to you too!!!

Today was a so-so start to my day but I still picked up Edna and off to Assiniboine Park via the Portage Ave foot bridge. That was a BIG mistake as it was like 3 blocks before I was able to sit down and in mega hip pain and shaky legs by then. The rest of the walk around the duck pond was great with three rest stops before that long walk back to Portage Ave. But a nice long refreshing rest after Edna treated us to Sargent Sundae cones. Yes a nice day for a walk, warm and breezy!
Once home I did the daily exercises and then tried what Angela suggested. Lay on a floor mat (don't have such so used three kinda rough huge bath towels I don't like), feet up and did 10 minutes ice, 10 minutes medium heat, 10 minutes ice and last 10 minutes medium heat (twice a day). That position was welcomed relief in my lower back but DANG IT TOUGH GETTING UP!!! I will try my recliner for the next session as the bed is a pain for plug ins!
