I ran across some lovely flowers while out on my walk today, I love this time of year, with everything bursting into bloom. 🌿 🌸 📷

My sinuses are grumpy, but my heart and eyes are singing!

🚶🏼 Finally getting over my head cold (second one of the year, yay 😔) and decided to get out of the house for a light stroll over my lunch break; sunshine and flowers are great for the body and soul. 📷

My mother volunteers in a thrift shop and rescued this sunshade before it was going to be thrown out; the other staff said no one would want the shade but my mother said she knew someone who would love it. 🤣

“Thank you for being a friend!" 📸

We have the most adorable house-guest staying with us this weekend…just look at that sweet little face! 🐶 📷

🎮 Fired up the Switch to take a stroll down memory lane; showing my age but I remember playing the original Final Fantasy on the NES, back in the day. 🤣

I’m enjoying the remake, the quality of life improvements (such as being able to save anywhere) make it feel a little bit more modern. 📷

Made a big batch of chili in November and froze most of it…heating up some of it tonight for dinner. 🌶️🍲 😋🤤 📷

Just went to the library for the first time since University. 📚🤓 📷

As is our annual tradition, my partner and I went to the local Zoo to see Christmas lights…and wandered into the penguin house to warm up a big. 🤣🐧🎄🏳️‍🌈

🍿 Decided it wasn’t too early to watch Home Alone, as it’s one of our holiday favorite. The amount of abuse those poor thieves take from Kevin…it’s funny/painful to watch. 🎄
★★★☆☆

🍿 Always a favorite, who doesn’t hope for some sort of miracle during the holiday season, especially after watching Miracle on 34th Street. 🎅🏻🎄
★★★☆☆

🍿 It wasn’t our first movie of the Holiday Season (sadly, we watched a bit of a stinker last night) but “While You Were Sleeping” was the perfect palate cleanser and a great movie to watch the night before our first snowfall of the year. ❄️🥶🎄
★★★★☆

I took a random Friday off from work last month to drive down to my parents' lake house to help them with some heavy chores around their lake house…and this was the view from their dock. 🥺

Met up with some old friends / former coworkers for tasty Thai food and some venting. 😋😮‍💨 📷

Out shopping for tonight (having friends over to watch Hocus Pocus) and stopped by a local coffee shop for my annual pumpkin spice latte; the name of the shop might have changed but it still looks just like it did when a friend of mine and I would frequent it for breakfast back in the day. 🎃☕️ 📸

A few weeks ago, my Partner and I tried out a new (to us) Mexican restaurant, with some interesting decor. 😆 The food was tasty, we’ve been back more than a few times since. 🌮🇲🇽
