Collect Moments, Not Things---

Now isn't the above so true?----- It takes courage--and we have that! ---So-----Son#2, the Air Canada Pilot is back in Toronto--flew all night-- This AM, he sent a new picture of his "BIRD"--the 787  plane-taxying on a runway in Toronto--which he calls YYZ-- (which is Pilot talk for Toronto-) He loves that plane--the one he flies.

To-day is supposedly our last mild day-- so--that means more leaf raking--  and--to-day is Himself's Birthday --He is 94 to-day --a tad mixed up  in his mind-Whenever he loses something, he swears that I took it and threw it out-- It does kinda drive me crazy! ---But it is what it is-- so, I just have to deal with all the "malarkey"---Lord Love A Duck!---Most days I can----but--there are times I do need a good cry as I feel so sorry for myself--Crazy!---I must remember the good times--

 

 like---  the picture  above--taken yrs ago--  in Jamaica--at Bull's Bay Beach, in Lucea, Jamaica, on one of our visits to Himself's home--The little  boy on the rt, holding onto the dIngy, is Son#1---and--the wee little boy across the dingy from him, with the blond hair, is Son #2, the now Air Canada Pilot--(You have to look closely to see him-- just behind the older boy on the left-)-The other children were all their cousins.   Himself and I would pick them all up and take them to the beach with us- Oh--  I am the adult standing up---- 

Chinese people usually have a lot of children, who  are expected to help their parents in the parents businesses---so, they don't usually get to go to the beach----When we would arrive for a holiday, we would pick them all up--Himself used to catch crabs on this beach----  teach all these kids  how to do it-- I believe this beach is not like this picture anymore-I heard there is a hotel here now.--I loved going back to Himself's home in Lucea--- They kept geese  which honked when people came over---  burglar bars on the windows--  lotza great food-- maids to  keep up with the laundry-and who were great cooks---and Himself's Mom who was so kind--  They would laugh at son#2--as he was so blond--They would say-"A Blond Chinese"-and then chuckle--

himself's Mother-- such a lovely Lady---and -below-----his Father-I never knew him.

I remember the good times--There were so many over our life together-- so--I try very hard not to "blubber" --- Collect Moments---There were so many! 

Good thing we do have "MOMENTS"---Cherish them  ---  They get us thru  to-day's sorrows---
