"Keep Your Chin Up!"

 Pretending IS good!--  I can do that--for now!--"I" am Okay-- There are multi hurricanes flying by--somewhere--I pray for all those affected--A recession, (whatever that is???) is in the works--- I won't mention the War--  (but I just did!_) Here at home, I walked Lopez BEFORE the school bus went by--AND he did his business (One has to be thankful for small mercies!)---The wash  has been done before 7am-- when the hydro goes up-(That is a crazy rule yu know--It affects housewives!)---- Himself seems OK--cannot hear anything but I seem to handle  this pretty good in the morning-

Lord love a Duck!--It is good that we do pretend isn't it?- Here in the North, we are well into fall---The Hummingbirds are  on their way South--I hear the Loons will be leaving our lakes soon--The wild life seem to continue to do what they do-- unaware of anything too much to worry about-They must be good at "pretending."

Our Canadian Thanksgiving will be here soon--"Turkey time! -(I surmise these turkeys are  a tad freaked out!--)--Himself and I usually buy that big bird, with Son#3 cooking the meal--  That helps Himself and I so much---

It looks like all is well on the "Homefront" ---at least for this day--and at least for now--Hopefully you are not in the "eye" of a storm and you  are "pretending" too---You know, when one remembers all that we have lived thru, the past 3 to 4 yrs, it truly is amazing, that we do have (as Dad used to say)-- that we do have our "wits about us"-----Lord love a Duck eh?--We are strong-- Really we are!---

I hope your day goes well--I always tell yu all to say "HI" to a Policeman--  He lays his life down for us daily-- Buy a Pilot a gift card for a coffee--maybe that Policeman too--- Hugs to you --until to-morrow-as Dad used to say, "Keep your chin up!"
