A brand new day--with smoke--- "The Canadian Wild Fires"--not close to here but affecting a lot of Canadian cities--and blowing South--
We have sunshine, a blue sky (with smoke in the distance)-no rain---and, it is Canada Day-July the1st-This day used to be called "Dominion Day"-
On July 1st 1867, the British North America Act, created Canada, formally joining several colonies into a single unified semi-independent Dominion of Canada. Canada then became a self governing dominion within the British Empire. The Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, has served since 2015. July 1st 1980, "Oh Canada" became our national anthem.
So, that is a bit of Canadian Trivia----the trivia around here, is that our daughter is here, from Ohio--with her 2 children, who do not look like children anymore, but young adults--
It is SO SO good to have them here-- we celebrated a Birthday at supper last night--with cake and ice cream---with son #4 coming out with his children---grandparents absolutely love love love , having the Grandkids visit--and they brought their dog , who has not been a problem at all-
Big Beau and Lopez have been out--- walked up the back road---AND, I did get groceries yesterday. The store was crazy busy--The order came to around $300--terrible!----- When I returned home, himself- was in the worst mood ever--angry--angry angry--at me--for no reason--well, for every reason he could think of--It is so difficult to deal with that, when you return home, away from the crowds---and just wish to relax, and "the wrath of the frustrated husband descends upon you!"----- It usually passes quickly however, if one can ignore it and carry on-
Isn't the above so true?--- easy when everyone is healthy--- difficult in the "older ages"--- because of many reasons--
I hope your day is special--- Make it special! ---Remember---

What a special time this is for you and Himself to have your daughter and grandchildren visiting. When you only get together once a year there is so much to catch up on. Enjoy every minute.

DeleteIt's Kathy - how wonderful that your daughter and grandchildren are there to spend time with you. They are beautiful children! I'm sorry you had to come home to an angry himself. He probably didn't like being home alone, or maybe even forgot you went to the store. I'm sure that's so challenging for you. Enjoy your family!
ReplyDeleteWe enjoyed today with the grown kids--Lynda
DeleteHappy Canada Day! Glad your daughter and her kids made it safely. They sure are growing up. Good looking kids. You must be so proud. Good your smoke has cleared. Ours is better today but is supposed to be coming back later today again. Hope himself behaves while they are there. Love you insert about "falling in love...." - that is so true.Been there and now you are as well!! Have a great day. Hugs Brenda
ReplyDeleteThanks Brenda-- It always shocks me when Himself says things to me alone ---that is hurtful--He never ever was that--Lynda
DeleteHaha, Canada Davenport, lol. Obviously I meant to wish you a happy Canada DAY!
ReplyDeleteLaura
Thank yu--Laura-- --Love having our daughter here--I even love her dog--LOL-Lynda
DeleteHappy Dominion Day! So glad your daughter and family got there ok. Oh yeah, that Dementia does not need a “reason” for anything it does! Enjoy everything you can. That grocery bill is a shock!
ReplyDeleteGroceries are costly--- horrible lot of work also-Lynda
DeleteHappy Canada Day! I am sure you know those of us down south will be celebrating Independence Day on July 4th. Many people are taking Monday off from work.
ReplyDeleteThe stores here are all super busy, too. They were out of the cat food I wanted to get for Lucky.
So happy for you with your daughter and hers there and for the marvelous party you had last night. I do wonder how Himself and Lopez do with all the excitement. I am sure Beau loves it and Sushi could care less.
We have no Bingo tomorrow, so I will probably read or write some more.
Still hot here and still haze from the fire. I hope you continue being safe.
{{{HUGS}}}
Yes we are safe--not smoky today--and I love having Allison-Lynda
DeleteWhat's your grandson's name and age? Allison is how old?
DeleteHappy Canada Day, and I hope your holiday weekend with your daughter and grandchildren is wonderful. I just spent some time with my son and his wife and her parents this afternoon, and it feels so good to be a part of family, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteFamily is the best isn't it?-Lynda
DeleteBummer that Himself was out of sorts when you got home from that trying task of grocery shopping! Groceries are sooooo expensive now. I think he just didn't like being left alone....and was frustrated. So glad that your daughter and grandkids are there! Sounds like you had a wonderful birthday celebration! Here's hoping you have a wonderful visit with your daughter and family! Don't worry about blogging....just check in with us and spend all the time that you can enjoying their company!
ReplyDeleteLove love love these children-Lynda
DeleteSorry to hear that himself was angry at you for no reason. It is hard to go do errands and come home tired to an unpredictable environment. I hope things have settled down for you. Yes, groceries are so expensive and by the time you buy food, cleaning products, etc. you don't seem to get much. Your grandchildren are beautiful. I know you are enjoying them very much. Don't forget to take time for you. A book, the piano and a little ice cream. lol Hugs from Ohio!
ReplyDeleteso good to hear from yup- Yers--I am enjoying the daughter--And her children-Lynda
