Beautiful girl, you can do hard things-

                                                     To-day is Wednesday, October 8th---Woo Woo! 

                                                                

                                                              Good Morning to you all--

It is 10 degrees here outside--no rain--YET____but--maybe later--

YES! Just imagine that this might be the happiest day in your life----

Whatta great way to face the day--

As I type, Son#2, is winging his way to Brazil-almost there--

Lopez and I are up---

The new sofa arrived yesterday--and now I can lay on it--even my legs and feet  fit

on it--and it is very comfy--

Lopez and I must "hit the road"--We shall return however--  and I will add to the blog--

Lopez and I have returned to the 

"tiny house"-- 

I see that Son#2 is still en route-- to SaoPaulo --seems like a long way--

--and Lopez and I have walked--in the cold-- I even dug out a parka to wear to-morrow morning--and Lopez wore his heavy Jean Jacket--

So, How is your day going so far?-I know that "you" can do just about everything--Isn't it wonderful that we always have "to-morrow"?

Oh, I just received a text from Son#2 the Air Canada Pilot--  He said, "Just landed"--He must be so so happy to be there--He flew all night--

It isn't easy , getting up every morning, dressing for the cold, walking the dog--and facing what every day will bring--but, I know that we are strong--and we do it--

I shall see yu' all to-morrow-"-Keep your chin up"-(Dad would be proud of you--)Trust in yourself 

You're Special!

ThIs day only comes once!

 It is good to have friends--- and usually your friends will join you in most things yu do----like singing out your song--so sing your song out loud--Whatta great way to begin a day!

Canadian Thanksgiving is just around the corner--AND I FOUND MY COOK BOOK __TO MAKE PUMPKIN PES__with Whipped cream on top--My tiny kitchen is  pretty small to get into the pie business--I may end up buying those pies--We shall see---Do you all make pumpkin  pies?------or--do you just buy them??---

                        We have SO SO much colour still on the leaves--even tho a lot have fallen--I drove out to Son#1's place yesterday, with Lopez----so much colour  ----Lopez stands on the arm rest--and looks out the front car window-- 

                        How are you all doing?--Are you looking forward to  the  "wintery weather"?-----I certainly am not--  It means   "boots" ,"gloves"---  "boot trays-"------"mittens"----more work--LOLOL----

The 2 cleaning ladies are here  right now--so, I will sign off here--get Lopez out------and maybe he will stop barking--

So, is your day going well??--Are you able to handle everything coming yer way??----and--maybe you can help me with a decision--buy the pumpkin pies--or make the pumpkin pies--?--What to do  What to do??----if you lived in a tiny house--??---  Just drop me a line--let me know--  --  and--ENJOY THE DAY! This day only comes once--
 

2 Pilots in an Airport!

                                            -good morning--seems very warm here  this morning--

    We might get rain---  for sure to-morrow--but--it looks like it is going to rain this morning--

On my walk with Lopez, a flock of geese flew over--heading South--I heard them honking before I could even see them~and--I have had 2 calls this AM--Spam calls--I really hate them!--I deleted the numbers--such a nuisance--

                    It is a new day---  a new chance to get everything right-- if that is even possible--

Son#3 just came in and set up the camera, so if I have to leave Lopez in the house, if I go for groceries or something, I can check the camera and see him--see what he is doing--back at home here. We had the same camera set up in Lakefield, so we could check on Lopez when Son#2 and I went to see Fred in the hospital--

How is your day going?--Are you feeling strong?--Are you feeling  that your day is unfolding the way it should?--Some days do--and some days just are a huge mess--kinda like to-day here--so far  as  I type--Son#2 has called twice and son#3 has been in here setting up the camera--Lord love a Duck--AND_-outside a "weed Whacker" guy came to do the yard outside--  I feel like I am in the middle of "Times Square--Lots going on--just as I was getting this blog off to all of yu--all this action happened!!!  Lord love a Duck!!! It's a wonder I can even think here!__

I am off of here---  I shall return to check your messages and make sure that your day is going better than mine-- LOL---

Thought you might like to see Son#1 and his friend from Elliot :Lake--another Air Canada Pilot--You just might run into these 2 guys (Pilots)- in an airport--

    

Another day--Another dollar!

 GOOD MORNING TO YOU___------sending happy thoughts yer way---and-a little sunshine--a new day-and--WE ARE A PART Of IT!!--Holy Cow!   We are so fortunate--!----

                                  

  I just changed our bed--  I mean Sushi, Lopez and  my b ed--It is still the King Bed--so, not the easiest to change--The sheets  are in the washer right now!   Whenit it is  daylight, I will take Lopez out--It seems too warm in this tiny house this AM--It must be mild outside. It looks dark out still also--

Well, yesterday, I went all out--bought a new sofa--will give the leather love seat (which I was using as a sofa)-to Son#3 who will give it to one of his daughters who is at University in Ottawa--My legs hung over the end of that love seat--so it will be good to have a sofa that I fit on--I really hated to spend the money --but--finally decided that no-one is going to donate a sofa to me--so I better get out there and do it myself!

And my workman who helps me so much, came over yesterday to cut the tiny back yard--sharpened the blades  on the lawn mower--then cut the grass--SO SO nice of him1--also, fixed the drain hose on the new little dishwasher---What on earth would I ever do without this guy?-- Of course I do reimburse him, and he sure is "worth his weight in gold"--Mom's expression there!--I remember her always saying that!---Funny how you remember all her expressions isn't it?   WEIRD!

It seems like it is nearly daylight out there--so Lopez and I must "hoof it" up the road----lovely weather this fall--so mild!

One more thing-----Are you feeling strong??---"HAPPY?----because if you are, your day will be a good day-- oh--a blast from the past--below--Emma----  now in her 2nd yr University--

                                            Fred--and the dogs---  winter time--in the dog pen--

                                Andie---  now all grown up--with her other Grandmother--

Lopez and I are out of here--- I hope that your day is perfectly delightful-- Make it a day to remember-- Put yer best foot in front of the other--and--I SHALL SEE YOU LATER-- BE STRONG______

-

ON WITH TO_DAY!--and-HERE WE GO!

                         Good day ---  supposed to rain in a bit--  have NOT been out yet--with Lopez--

This was my dad's Birthday--"Oct 4th--Ivan Wallace"---

Son#2 , the Pilot is in Britain--sent a couple of pictures of his meal yesterday---  and it does look good!

-and, he also sent a picture of a very interesting sign--

I think we need more of the above sign here--just to remind us of our duty when we walk that dog1

I do carry the "poop" bags  with me , every walk I take with Lopez----

It looks like rain--in fact if I don't hurry here, it will be raining--kinda dreary looking out there--

Last night I drove out to visit  Son#1----ate supper before I went--which I thought might make things easier for him- The view from his deck was simply gorgeous--The leaves are spectacular!

So, I signed up for the course, on "trying to get over losing a loved one"----It goes into December--very long--I believe it will help me accept the loss of my husband--  I was interviewed with the Lady running the course, and accepted into it- (You have to be interviewed)----  I liked the Lady-- felt she  was knowledgable ----and--  it certainly cannot hurt things--probably will help--It doesn't begin for awhile! 

So, I must get little Lopez out--  Probably son#2 will return to-night--

How is your day going?--  Are you "sorta" feeling strong?---  (You know, I never really know how each of my days will go, but, I know that I am going to try my best , to stand up to whatever hits me---- Tough little Lopez of course does help me--For such a small pooch, he is strong--tough--Now, if he can face the world, each day, I certainly can!--Right?--And now I must take him out-- 

ON WITH THE DAY___and--HERE WE GO!

HUGS-----and I'll get back here later!

May your soul be touched by the magic of music!

                                    Lopez and I are back from our walk--and yes, he did his business--

Do you believe that "YOU" are special?----Imagine everything  you do in a day--You look after your family--which might be a dog --or a cat--You keep your home clean--probably "pick up" after people who live with you--You plan the meals--  You shop for the meals---You do the banking--probably the gardening-(-just listing some of your chores makes me tired. )----  No wonder you go to bed "pooped out"!-You really are special!

Last night I attended a concert here in town--It was part of the "concert series"---Son#1 and his wife picked me up--and sat with me--- The band was loud and good---happy  songs they played, like "Yellow Brick Road"---It was upbeat and fun --- and I loved it-- It was about 4 hours of fun, happy, music----

-I had left Lopez here alone , for several hours and he survived, but  I could tell by how he acted when I got home finally, that he had missed me---was very upset when he could not see me--You see I "crate" him at night--right beside my bed-- but I place his crate on a chest, so it is the same level as my bed--It was a lomg concert , so, to a Chihuahua, it was  VERY LONG--to be left alone at home.

But, WE CAN DO HARD STUFF---right?---If we need to go to a concert, we make sure the animals are settled at home--It's what "we" do!--Right?--WE LOOK AFTER PEOPLE!-  -and pets--

So, it is a new day and I must get "at-it"-- I have a lot of your comments to catch up on--I do miss you all when life gets busy--but----- We do what we can--for everyone else--This AM, the litter has even been emptied--plus the vacuum has been pushed around --well, sorta!-- 

And to-day, I must find time to play the piano--  --------Music touches your soul doesn't it?--so important to listen to as you go thru your day--

To-day I shall sing---- a lot of the music from the concert last night--maybe even dance around my tiny house---  Why not eh?---- Doncha find that "music is magic?-----Try dancing to-day----around your house-        --Your soul will be touched for sure!

It takes coursge to grow up and become who you really are---

 Good Morning--  VERY dark here this morning--seems cool also---  I haven't been out yet--but the washer is going--Lopez and Sushi are up with me here.--Man! You can tell that  the seasons are changing--and not for the "good"---I hear on the news that a couple of airplanes collided  at Guardia Airport--on the ground----The news is never good is it?--

OK--I did get out for groceries--  When I went into the grocery store, I swear there was no -one in there--before I finished, it seemed like the whole town was grocery shopping--I got stuck in the line, behind the cashier

-Tonight, in town here, is the first of our concert series--To-night it is an orchestra--I am excited to go--=It has been years since I got to go out for entertainment--I even bought a new outfit=--Poor wee Lopez will be alone for the evening--I did get tickets for the 2 boys, but I think they are unable to attend--Son #1 and his wife are picking me up--Himself and I used to attend these series--

So, we have sunshine--It is a tad cooler  now everyday--Most trees still have all their leaves--but--it does look like "FaLL" here-

Well, I hope that your day is going well---I hope that you are happy--feeling strong--The right attitude makes such a difference , as you go thru the day----That crazy ghost  in the photo below---must be me!!--She keeps looking back at me--Some days, one does just feel "older than old" eh??-----Maybe it's the hair---  ???---  One of these days I must allow the "white" hair to shine thru------get rid of the colour on it---  I wonder--How many of you colour your hair?--Am I the only one??--It takes courage to let the real you get out---

                        Lopez is chomping at the bit here to go out--I will check back herc later---

                            Hugs----
