Halloween and an Emotionally stable woman-?-

         Heavy rain outside---as you can see in the picture --It is rain tho--so far--not snow! Good morning to all---  Halloween --Trick or Treat----I shall return--must get Lopez out--into weather--still dark here--

Are any of you going out to-night, with or without  your children--grandchildren??--- I will be inside--and we usually do not get the wee ones at our door--Some years both Himself and I used to dress up---  Now we are just happy to turn out the lights and "hit the hay" as Dad used to say--(He just told me that!)

                                        I shall return --in an hour or so---  -10am here now--

I just found out that my email address will remain the same---even after the move-- W will pay a small fee to our present server to have "email only"---- so the email address for the blog, will be ---                                fldunloplake@vianet.ca--------  My blog is "leanjean6.blogspot.com. "---and-- I am applying for a new gmail address----'specially if I could use "leanjean6@gmail.com"--but will keep you all informed--

interesting eh??--  But --from wherever you all are." leanjean6.blogspot.com" should open up the blog--

An early Blog!!!

It's me!--I am on here early!---unbelievable!--  So--No Day Program for Himself--- but--We have to head to town anyway as soon as Sadie , that wonderful cleaning Lady --(who as you know, is really me!) gets here to tidy up------There is so much to do in town , I don't know what to do first---but, I have my list---Do you all make "lists" and refer to that list  on your travels around your town?---otherwise I forget  everything-

    -Son #2  is back home---He did so much for us---stuff I wouldn't even know to do  when you move---

-So, Halloween is coming up-- I am not prepared--- It seemed to  come so fast--- at least we have no snow  , but just north of here, there is snow--  It's coming----- not to-day, but soon! 

Yesterday I called movers . There is such a variation in prices between each mover---We haven't booked anyone yet but will soon--And--of course Lopez and I have "hoofed " it up the back road and he did not do his business--which means, another walk soon---

The election in the States is coming up soon---quite scare-y---I want to say more----LOLOL----but--well you know, it's not my country---- but----  well, you know---"Women"  hold up half the sky--We Women, we  are -so in touch with reality---(Not My Country!)- --- 

SO---- I shall read your comments--and yesterdays comments shortly---and  best "stick my nose to the grindstone" , as Dad used to say, and get off of here--

If you do have to get into the Halloween candy, make sure you eat only the good stuff--to make it worthwhile--and, I must get off of here --but---I hope your day is spectacular! 

 

I believe in you!

---and I know that you do believe that you are  the best person ever!!-- That dog believes that you are strong-------and you and I know  being "STRONG" gets us thru each day--

So why on earth am I so late posting??_--I was trying to find a mover--- A Lady came this AM who only does "packing" , but I found that  it will be expensive to have her pack-----and the moving companies WILL  DO the packing and their insurance covers everything if you have them do the packing--

-Son #2 just texted me to ask if Dec.5th would be a good day to move---and he and our daughter will drive us down--(It could be snowing)--We are so fortunate  to have their offers and will take them up on them---

So what did you all do today?--Was it a good day?---Are you happy?---- Are you surviving all the Halloween candy?-- It's hard isn't it?--I always have good intentions and then  it calls my name---so crazy!--One good thing--

Little Lopez is sitting on his chair waiting for me here.--  Just so you know--- We do not have snow here yet---  but--it is North of us--and you know what?--I won't have to shovel it---Remember the mammoth snow drifts we always get??--Well, it should be quite balmy where we are moving compared to  here--I Hope!

Appreciate  being "YOU"----because remember DR Seus saying?--"There is nobody who is better than you"----

 

Be STRONG!

Good morning--- late blogging--but----  better late than never--Someone said that--dunno who--LOLOL--Son#2  drove Himself to his Day Program--- and --will go back and have lunch with him--(What a blessing!)--I have also directed our lawyer to begin to work on everything--- Son#2  also catches a flight , to his home, this afternoon ------ 

So, WE ARE REALLY MOVING--!!!- Holy Smoley!!!--  I have a person coming out to-morrow to help me de-clutter and pack a few boxes before the movers even come, so we are off to the races here!--

I will also advise the VIANET people,  of our move as I do not want to lose any of you---make sure everyone of you can keep in touch--

                So, that is where we are at---  chugging along--sorta--lots to do---

So --I hope that your day is going well---  that you aren't bothered too much by the crazies--and that yu are  treating yourself well--I must head back into town   as Son#2 has an appointment set up at the lawyers--What on earth would I ever do without this guy?--

Today is a wonderful day to have a wonderful day.

-A quick blog to let you all know that I am thinking of you--and  surviving quite well here-- Son#2 the Pilot has been informing me of all the necessary things- and the order of each, to do, before a move--also helping with Himself --a huge help for me--  I am trying very hard to keep Lopez away from Himself and his cane----

We all went to our local Chinese restaurant last evening for supper--They did a great job  with the food-- Chinese people do love Chinese food--lots of it--platters and platters-- ---Grandchildren, their parents,  Baha, (who is Grandfather)--and  myself, with lots of leftover dishes for each family to take home. It was a feast!-

I did receive all your emails and have made a note of each so , yes, we definitely will keep in touch---Somewhere along the way, there will be  a day or 2 to get the computer hooked up to a new server---and there will be a break there of a few days--

So , at almost 83 yrs, I am doing it--I shudda made this move many years ago--the move to DOWNSIZE---Good thing for son#2 eh to help ---The apartment we are moving to really will make life so much easier for both of us--and it seems like a quiet area---driveable---no outside work--lakes around--

So, I must keep my nose to the grindstone here--(Dad's expression)---oh----So---Do you think Dad just might be watching over all this?---

                                    Justa reminder  of how special we all are--"YOU ARE"------NEVER allow anyone to ever tell you differently--Have a wonderful day , you very special person~

Justa suggestion --

It has been busy, as you can imagine---I have given this serious thought however---so, I wonder if this will work out---Until we move--( early December)---  could I email those who wish to hear from me---could I email you what is happening here---with a short blog as to what we are doing--and what I am thinking--rambling on about--- and at least you will know  what is going on---  I have no idea what our new email address will be--yet------what our server will be----but I will have yours on this computer and I promise to keep in touch--

Would that work out?---

Stuff  here is moving along-- I have almost hired a mover--probably will move us before our closing date--Let me know if you feel this will work??-We should be settled in there, early December --but I can keep you posted--

Today I choose Joy!

Finally----- a blog---  Lordy Be--  Such a relief ---The House is sold!!  ----My mind is in "rest "mode---  -a mode where one just vegges--forgets everything--- Can you believe that I even forgot to go and get my hair done?------ totally forgot!!!--Below is how I feel---Holy Cow!!!

So, as you can see, I really am ecstatic---

-our sign out at the road --says--"SOLD"--Who would think eh, that we are moving--The closing date is Dec 9th----so much to do once I come out of the clouds--

So, I must come down to earth here and get things done---

Enjoy your day--be happy ---  We really all are blessed aren't we?

 

A good life---

We sold the house----  It is sold!!! That is why  no blog this AM---- Of course we didn't get what we wanted, but enough--- so, that is pretty good--We have to be out of here by Dec 9th---lots to do before then---- 

Am I happy about the sale?-- Yes,  If we held onto it , we might've gotten more offers--but---but it is good to know it is sold--- We sold it in a week---

It hs ben a difficult day--  Of course not all my children agree that moving--selling the house--is a good thing--but- that is why I didn't get to blog this AM---It was kinda a shock that we actually sold the place--- our family home--- but----life does go on---- in a different way--and I have to accept --and believe--that this will be a good thing--Himself will be 96 yrs this weekend--I will be ---81 --no--82--or is it 83?--LOLOL---(Holy cow! We ARE old!)----

                                        So, I decided to Send some of my favourite pictures-----

                                                            Lotza Grandchildren ---loved them so much!

                                                                Just look at that dock---

                                                                            fun times

        Look at son #1 and son#2 ----with their cousins in Jamaica ---and me in the red dress

                                                                some of our children---
                                                    Always a good life--with our family---
                So--life just goes on and on-----  We are so fortunate----everyone of us!

YEEHAW---

 I just heard on CBC TV, the weather man--- referring to  October--as "Hot-ober"----lovely---Just a few words here, before taking Lopez out---The sun is somewhere , up there--not shining too brightly yet, but it does look promising----

Well, we are going to receive offers this morning--actually----"an" offer, I think!--I do not know , even , if it is an offer that we can accept--or not--It will be interesting-- And I will let you all know as soon as I can--So, I am going to take Lopez out and will return shortly-

back----  walked Lopez --heard from Son#2 and wife---  They are all excited for us--because if all works out, we will be moving to their area-They are out walking--said there is not even one car on the road--my kind of "area"--

Lopez and I "hoofed" it up the road--and back--but will need to go again--He did not do his business--

Himself seems pretty good this morning---no yelling and screaming---Amazing how going to his day program (yesterday) puts his mind back into an almost normal phase -- Odd isn't it--just getting out of this house--

So how are yu doing with the Halloween junk?   --alias--candy?--Have you devoured all of it yet?---Do you have to replentish your supply?--- (sadly I have!)----But----When I  do get out to buy more--maybe I shall buy all stuff that I hate--maybe raisins---something healthy---Any ideas?----

OK----Time to get ready for "Opening the offer"--- Lordy be!--  Please God, make it a good offer !!!!

Stomp out those Monday Blues and Rock this day!

The above is really me--at least how I feel---Yesterday turned into a very difficult day --We had one showing and I picked up an enormous grocery order--It turned out to be too much for Himself to handle, and "he went off the deep end"--and became  obstinate---  refused to listen to me , even this morning--  I finally did get him into the Lodge however--just now--

"If he does not do as I say, I cannot keep him and he will have to be placed somewhere--"---as he was  telling me that he will not go to the Lodge because he will pick up Covid----  but---- FINALLY , I got him there--late of course.--  I do not believe I can handle him much longer----  expensive to place him everywhere--but----it's looking like I may have to--

    So, I will read yesterdays comments soon --haven't done that--I really do need more hours in my day!--

We have a sunny beautiful day here ---Lopez and I have hoofed it up the back road twice----  but --  he needs to go a third time so --When Himself yells at me, it upsets Lopez who thinks Himself is hurting me and barks viciously at him--and then Himself yells louder and--PURE CHAOS happens----and I walk away---have to----

So---  life eh???--Complicated for sure----I need to hear from you all so much---  What would "YOU" do in my situation?---   

What do you mean, her Real Name isn't Grandma?

I am up---and will be back to you in a bit-- another "showing" at 11am --- We have light rain falling--  Lopez and I are going out very soon--just daylight here-- I must strip the bed --get the sheets into the washer, sooner than later--"a woman's work is never done"--Now isn't that the truth??---

I just thought I'd throw the above in--give you a reason to have a twinkle in your eye--LOLOL---  Kids come out with the cutest things don't they---?????-- like------

                                            "What do yu mean her real name isn't Gramma?"  LOLOLOL

                                                    See yu soon-----and I shall add to this- soon---

-The bed is made---(Himself cannot help me anymore-to make the bed- (sob sob)  --or "he chooses" not to help me--oh well!-----  He vacuumed the kitchen so that is a help--- 

We all need a few laughs on a Sunday--a day of rest???

 I must get out of here----Please enjoy the dAy----

Don't let the stupid stuff break your spirit...

                            Good morning----  cold----  misty----with fog rising from the lake---

        It is  getting colder---and every morning now, we see fog rising from the lake--- 3 degrees--

                                            Yesterday the trees were amazingly beautiful--

                                Our leaves are falling --lotza raking--and---blowing leaves away--

Son#2 , the Air Canada Pilot sent a picture of the bed above the cockpit, for a pilot to catch a quick nap, while the other pilots fly the plane--He flies the Dreamliner where there are  about 4 pilots--so, on the Dream Liner  they take turns grabbing a rest---He says the sheets are layer-ed so  they pull them off a- ready for the next pilot--Ever neat eh??

Lopez and I must hoof it up the road-then I must get  to town to get a passport picture done and--then bring Lopez back home--and go for groceries--always something eh?--- I shall probably add more to this blog when I get back home-- Meanwhile-----  Enjoy yer day--- AND------

                                                                        Later then----
