Believe in yourself--


We are now into winter--It is snowing  outside-- -They say snow to-morrow--and even more snow the next day---Lord love a Duck! --I have decided to not  shovel, until it stops--  (and it's looking like it might never stop!)---- Anyway, I took little Lopez out--in his big puffy parka, and he waddled up the road---  AND---He did his business---What a good boy eh?-Next big Beau must go out again--
It has been a couple of difficult days  here with  Himself---I hope  his Day Program will begin  again on Monday--It helps him so much!--I think , just getting  him out and seeing and being with other people ,  does help him----Little Lopez last evening, received the brunt of Himself's frustrations, last night--poor wee fella----he certainly does not like Himself's cane-- 

So, it is Sunday---a day of rest --but--not around here ---LOL----Yesterday, I made Home Made Soup---and that will be our lunch to-day-and, even though it is Sunday, Sadie (who is really me)--will be dropping  in to do some light cleaning, and tidying up-----She already has helped me clear the mantle of the last of the Xmas decor--

I saw this Woman---and thought-- "What a Strong Person She Must've Been"-----simply amazing---Now if she could live her life , doing  what it says, all of us sure can too--POLLY JACKSON----an amazingly very strong  Lady---
 
What do you think?--

Have a great day--- Polly Jackson  sure  did-- Always believe in yourself-- You are stronger than you know---

  1. Good morning!
    So sorry to hear about the lodge yesterday. I don’t know about Canada, but here in the states it is hard to find workers. Seems like many would rather stay home. It’s tough…
    We are about to get dumped on with snow. I know that we need it for our farmers but I wish that it would stay up in the mountains! Ha ha
    But, I’m set with food. Can stay home and work on taking down Christmas. I’m ready for Spring! Ha ha
    Have a good day! Jacquie.

  3. We had some snow last night, not enough to help the drought situation though. I tripped over a cord last night and fell...so both my knees look ruff today...lol Amazing Grace should have been my middle name. Going to go up and watch Yellowstone with Barbara.
    Hope things with himself get better, he must be terribly frustrated after his career.....what happened with the day program?????
    Hang in there Lynda...(it isn't him) If he gets his cane after Lopez, I hope he does not strike you with it.

  5. It's Kathy. I love the photo of Lopez in his Parka! We finally got a bit of snow but barely 1 inch! Enough to almost cover the ground. But Daisy braved it and went outside to take care of her business - she's resting now! I do hope himself can go to the center on Monday. I understand being stuck at home must be so difficult for both of you. Tom and I are going to the Art Center Gallery opening this afternoon. I really don't have time but it's probably also good for me to get outside a bit! At least I don't have to cook tonight - I love leftover nights! I wish you a good day today and be careful when you do get outside to shovel.

  6. Yes, winter here, too. About 3 in. of snow on the ground and still snowing. Not a lot, but just enough to know it’s winter.

    Yes! Polly Jackson was indeed a very strong, brave woman!

    Sure hope that Himself can attend the Lodge on Monday. And for sure, it's not a good situation that he gets after Lopez w/his cane, but YOU stay safe!

    HUGS my dear.

    Lynda, my dear friend. It is Saturday. It happens to me sometimes, too. I am either behind a day in my mind or ahead one day. Someone points it out and I am embarrassed. Don't you be embarrassed, though. I'm just pointing out that we're all in the same boat at our ages.
    Paid bills today. Received an order of groceries with free delivery. I have the app for that until next August. Then I have to renew. Two of my items were out of stock...my ice cream and a chicken pot pie. So easy for one person just to pop it in the microwave.
    Thinking about a cat tree for Sushi. They probably all have lower 'steps' for fat or elderly kitties. They're made of some kind of light wood with scratching post on them. All you would need to do to protect it from Lopez is take the sides of the box the tree came in, cover the lower steps, tack the box parts up the sides to cover the lower part of the tree.
    I hope I didn't confuse you.
    Please be careful shoveling. You know how: Short spurts with breaks between, not heavy loads on your shove, protect your back, stay hydrated.
    We care about you! {{{HUGS}}}

  8. Hi Lynda: I see you've already been told it's Saturday. Now you have an extra day to do stuff except it's another day before himself can go to the Lodge. Hopefully not enough snow that you can't get to the Lodge. Poor Lopez and the cane. My dog gets scared of mine as I have a tendency to drop when trying to get out the door but never hit her! Hope your son is going to help with the snow as it's too much for you. Have a good night. Hugs Brenda

  9. Good evening, Lynda! We have flurries in Ohio and 31 so it's pretty decent. Little Lopez is just too cute in his parka! I know it keeps him warm and easier to get him out. I hope Himself can make it to the program soon. It will help his mood and give you a break. Tomorrow is our favorite day. Read a book, take a nap, all the resty things that you need and deserve! Hugs!

  10. Hi Lynda, for whatever reason I didn't receive your Saturday post. I was concerned about you. Glad to know you're OK except for difficulties with himself and snow ggrrr.
    Take care
