Once Upon A Time-----is now!

Yesterday we were in town twice--- Himself's ears were examined and I can't remember what else---  I was going to renew my Driver's  Licence and Health Card this AM, but-----maybe to-morrow morning would be better---  I hear too that Gasoline is going to go up ten cents to-morrow also----  Why-Why Why???--As if we don't have enough to think about eh?--One must be a magician  to keep the bank books balanced -----Poor us!--

It is October 4th-- It is my Dad's Birthday---My Dad was the best guy!--- I never ever remember him getting angry at me--I do remember always wanting to go to the cottage in Port Stanley--Mom didn't always want to go---  but----  Dad would  give in , and away we all went-- We lived in London , Ontario--then Burlington, then Ottawa--so the drive became longer, the farther east we moved.- This picture  of Dad and I, was taken when he was living in a "Home" in town here--Mom had passed-- We were in a restaurant, and it looks like it was winter from the scene in the background-

This is Dad on the left--with his brother in the middle and Dad's Dad, on the right--my Grandfather.--- Dad went to U of T--became a Civil Engineer --his brother went to U of T and became a lawyer--  and Grandfather (Dad's Dad )-looks pretty spiffy with his hat and suit on----Old pictures are so precious! - 

How on earth did I ever get onto all this?----  Dad--then Grampa--?---  But. yu know, I sure loved Grampa --This is the Grandfather who used to hold my 2 hands when I was about 3yrs old, and say, "A heel and a toe and away we go'"----and we would twirl around his kitchen----He also would hide my doll sometimes and I remember crying --He would tell  my Mom, "There she gores again--crying"-

We do have a beautiful fall day starting ----Lopez and I walked and Beau and I played ball--I don't walk Beau on the back road as he chases vehicles and I cannot catch him--plus, he does have A Fib--which is somewhat of a worry-Beau is 7 yrs--used to be on heart meds, but was taken off them at 2 yrs--We don't allow him to exercise too hard--if we can help it!

I am rambling here-- Yu know, I could write book---I hope people are taking notes on these pandemic times--We sure have lived thru stressful times haven't we?----

Sadie is banging at the front door ready with her vacuum-- (She is really me, as yu know!)--Make your day happier than a bird with a french fry--  --well, like it says below-- I hope you get a nap in--Do any of you ever do that?
