Take good care of those you love-

The above does help me when I feel a bit defeated--I never realized how much I depended on my husband, --until he was not there---We CAN make it thru the challenges of the day---with positive thoughts--  WE CAN DO WHATEVER---"WE CAN!"

So, "Another day-another dollar"--Dad used to say that--Funny how one remembers all those "sayings" we hear in our younger years--

This morning, (Now listen to this---)--  WE HAVE RAIN_-falling--(not snow)----cool outside tho--!

So, the clothes are in the dryer---  Oh I hear it is done---Lopez is asleep on his leather chair , which he thinks is his bed-----Sushi and I are "up and at-er" --THE DAY HAS BEGUN!

                                    So, Wise Words I wish I had written--

                                  

                                    #1. Old age is a victory, a privilege

                                    #2.Grow old in body only, never in mind!

                                    

                           #3. Every argument has at least two points of view.

                                    #4. You are born to succeed.

                                So, Blasts from the past-----and above is Son#3's family--
 

and below ---are---  Grandchildren from 3 families-- in our kitchen before the big move

                                    Below--Son#1  with his Dad--  the guy that I married--

            Below--a kinda a unique picture from Son#1--"Watson" the cat-with "De-Ja", the dog

So--  It is Monday, April the 13th----- time to get busy here--  I see we have dense fog outside--and here we are, "up and at-er"-----so I better get busy 

--Remember--You are born to succeed--Happy people think happy thoughts--Your home is the resort of love, joy , and plenty--Keep it that way--Take good care of those you love--and---remember, if you are too busy to laugh, then you are just too busy!

Snow, snow, and more snow!

Good Morning on this Sunday, April the 12th-- AND WE HAD A DUSTING OF SNOW OVER NIGHT_hard to believe eh?--April the 12th-- and "SNOW"----Little Lopez thinks the LEATHER CHAIR is his bed--Oh well--I guess it is!--LOL--at least for now--So, I am going out to shovel off  --or sweep off, the car-_kinda depressing---but--What can I do about it--"not much"---Jackie is coming to pick me up--going out for breakfast--I shall return--

Well, I was just out to clean the snow off the car--and around the car also--  There isn't much, which is a good thing--and I hear the weather lady talking about "RAIN"-which sounds good to me!

so--Secrets of Life--#1.-In a fight between you and the world, bet on the world!

                             --#2.The only time a woman really succeeds in changing a man is when he is a baby.

                                #3.Grow old in body only--never in mind!

                                #4. Old age is a victory, a privilege.

                                    Below--Fred with  Ethan--looks like Fred is admiring Ethan's work--He always                                                                             made time for the children

Everyday can be Joyful--

 Good Morning--Wednesday, April the 8th--overcast--NOT SNOWING--almost 7-30am--The washer is chugging away here and Lopez, Sushi, and I, are up--not too much "at-er"--but--- we are trying-                                    -trying to do hard things--

    It is not raining-- nor snowing--yet----(hope  it doesn't)-but overcast-

Yesterday I tried to get an appointment with my Doctor-I was told I could get in to see him, in June--3 months away-- seems like a long time to wait--I asked Son#3 what people do if it is an emergency-- (which it is not)-but--what if it was?-

-He replied, "Well, people go to Emerg at the hospital---- Life sure isn't the way it used to be , is it??--  Really, nothing is the same as it "used to be"--I guess the key is, "STAY HEALTHY", so one does not need to see a Doctor--I wonder--Is it the same in your part of the world??--Is there a Doctor shortage?

                                So many wise words  that I wish I had written-

                                    -#1. Exercise instead of worry

Never neglect older people-

--late blogging--AGAIN---but---  I am finally here--- had to pick up my weeks meds from the pharmacy--Ethan (the Grandson who is now driving,) went with me to the blood Lab --then came with  me to the pharmacy to get the meds----and then I shovelled a path to the neighbour's  house so the mail Lady does not have to walk in and out the driveway--can cut across the lawn in front of the house--always lots to do---

It is a holiday here in Canada---to-day---  so the clinic is not open--but the Lab is, so I could just run up the 49 steps to the Lab----It was not busy, which ment --"No Waiting""--nice!-and in between all the other stuff, of course the washer was on--then done and the dryer also--and Lopez had a wee walk outside--A woman's work is never done--

AND--we still have snow--falling lightly from the sky--and--this is APRIL---a very late Spring in this part of the world--                                      Blasts from the Past

Below, Ethan, Son#2, with Hannah, his daughter -me--and of course, the man that I married!
