Good Morning Sunshine!

              Good day to you all--To-day is Wednesday, November 4th--I am late posting--just so nice to be home here--back from the eye doctor, in Sudbury----She did work on my left eye--not the rt. one at a time I guess!-- She  froze it--then jabbed it--I did not feel it--  guess the freezing did it's job--I had a very good driver----no snow--lots of fog and rain--but-- that was ok--He is a good driver!

I am late posting----but , I am posting--  Have to tell you all about my trip  away-I did not return home till late afternoon---  and, thanks to son#3, Lopez was fine also-- 

                So, how are you all, after that huge election in the US?--What a relief  eh?----- I do not like to get into politics, but, it really is a huge relief to have normal people now in the US gov't --for Canada--We never ever had anyone like that before, in our neighbouring country-Enough said!

                                Words I wish I had thought of--

#1. Find more time for yourself.

#2. If you try to please everyone, nothing gets done.

#3. The world likes a happy person.

#4.You can't know everything.

#5.There are no free lunches.

            Above--  a dock full of "Youngs"--How many are there?

                                            I count 11--How many?

                            They caught a fish--I think!--below

                            And Sophia--  now at Kent State--

Time to get on with this day isn't it?--  Are you happy?--Never ever think that you are not good enough--Remember, if you enjoy old age, then you have won the game!--Don't say "I can", say  -"I will"--Find some good in everything--Hug your children--  and talk to them--and to your pets--and enjoy to-day--  To-day only comes once-- Remember that "you" are strong--oh--and --"big hugs go you all"---

 

Progress each day adds up to big results-

Good morning--It is Tuesday, November 3rd--and it is raining quite hard outside--I just dragged the garbage out to the road--in heavy rain--To-day  I have to go to Sudbury, with a driver, taking me--I hear the Eye Dr. is going to do one eye only--my left eye-- I guess that is the bad one--I will not be able to see  out of that eye after that procedure is done, until to-morrow-. It is still very dark outside---and still raining--How on earth will Lopez  go out to do his business in this rain?---

                                so, Wise Words  I wish I had written-

#1.Forgive your friends-

#2.Grow old in body. never in mind--

#3.Stick to your guns-

#4.Better alone than in bad company-

                                Words I wish I had written--

                                #1.Kiss and make up
