Christmas Time!

December 27, 2020 – Bermuda

Our decorations and laser dots on the house.

Of course a kitty under the tree. 🙂

And a nice dinner at Blu!

Loren Staycation

November 26, 2020 – Bermuda

It’s Covid, so no travel, but we are having a great Staycation!

Going for an outing and some hiking at Blue Hole Park

Sandra’s Birthday!

June 24, 2020 – Bermuda

It’s my birthday! In case you didn’t know Val is my gaming name, and Lex is Lothar’s. So we use Val and Lex as our nicknames!

We went out to our local restaurant, Gulfstream, for birthday dinner.

Hog Bay Park Outing

May 10, 2020 – Bermuda

Another great day hiking at Hog Bay Park!

Such a beautiful day for it too! That first image is the background of my blog. 🙂

Canada in March

March 9, 2020 – Toronto

This time, it’s not a vising trip, but just the two of us going to Toronto for Lothar’s birthday! We got some lovely shots flying in.

We stayed downtown, and enjoyed some time at the Eaton Center and whole area there.

For his birthday dinner, I took him to Canoe. It’s a very nice restaurant on the 54th floor of the TD bank tower, recommended by my friend Greg.

We had the chef’s tasting menu, together with wine pairings. The food was so amazing, and the views around were tremendous!

It’s Covid, so no vacation away, but we decided to do a staycation instead, at the Southampton Princess! It’s kind-of nice because you’re still away from home, in a beautiful place, but you don’t have to worry about flights, airports and car rentals. They had the lobby decorated out for Christmas too!

We enjoyed a day at the spa, with a lovely pool area to relax at afterward. Clearly the perfect time for a crazy shocked smudged make-up selfie! 🙂

Some nice relaxation and lunch at the hotel’s beach.

The other great hang-out spot was at the outdoor pool, though it wasn’t exactly warm. We stayed on the chairs. Some local ducks decided to swim though!

Christmas

December 24, 2019 – Bermuda

My favourite decorated tree in Hamilton.

Kitties around the Christmas tree.

And just got to love the tree at night, with the multi-coloured lights and all the sparkly tinsel! Nice floor reflection too! And now the gifts are under it too.

Each year Botanical Gardens goes all out and creates a winter wonderland of lights and displays. It’s really fun, and we went with my little sister Dea too!

So many beautiful displays. Merry Christmas!!

And some gift opening, of course.

Lothar’s Work Christmas Party

November 22, 2019 – Bermuda

I don’t have any of these to go to anymore, so it’s a treat for me when they can bring their significant other to the party. I finally get to wear one of my fancy dresses!

The decor was very festive indeed.

We took some silly photos with various props they had available, and had a great time overall.

Hurricane Humberto

September 19, 2019 – Bermuda

We got a significant storm this year – Humberto came around as a Category 3 storm.

We went out before the storm to see the massive storm surge and winds already picking up.

Preparing my place for the storm. I brought in outdoor items like the scooter, BBQ and trash bin, and tied down the shed as best as I could, twisting the ropes tight with rebar. I even put a large brick on top! Last year the shed opened and fell over! So I didn’t want that happening again.

Of coure during the storm, the power always goes. Here’s my little candle-lit dinner, and creative way of warming my morning coffee! 🙂

And after the storm, checking out the aftermath. Not too bad. After taking the bar off the shed, it survived quite well. The fence definitely did not, and Lance and Princess are happily exploring the outcome! You can also see the fallen power lines. Always happens, seemingly!
