Keep calm and carry on--

I am heading into town--to our Dentist--for a teeth cleaning----so much going on---  Did I tell you that I passed my Drivers Test yesterday??-------  all these last minute things------and I need groceries but that will have to wait ---

Look at the children in the photo above, all eating ice cream--sitting with their friends--so cute!                                     Children make friends so easily don't they?

The above is so true isn't it??-- The three stages of life--and I am in the  third stage--and its so difficult to part with "stuff"--Too bad I didn't do it years and years ago---- 

I must get out of here--get to town---but--I shall return--I just wanted you to know that someone is thinking of you--"ME"------Keep calm-----and carry on--and-----forget about that election!

 

Today is going to be a perfect day!

 Hawaii--probably --Kailua Beach--- (Spelt wrong)--Our daughter was a nurse at   Tripler Medical Hospital-in Hawaii--so,  we made many trips there to visit her--absolutely loved the people in Hawaii, and the food--a very long flight  to get there--I doubt if I could do that  now--and---we swam with many of these Sea Turtles-in the picture below----(They really don't fly like in the picture)

So, why am I late posting--AGAIN??--because I had to go to renew my Drivers Licence---and you have to sit in on a  wee course--with a vision test and a cognitive test---  I passed both---  so--the new licence will arrive in about  2 weeks--- It will be renewed for 2 more years. 

I left Lopez in his crate with specific instructions to Himself, to NOT LET HIM OUT , till I return---and lo and behold, he did not let the wee boy out--So, Lopez and I just hoofed up the road and back--He is a good little lad!--I also had to stop at the car dealer, before coming home, to get the sensors in the winter tires done--- so, that is over with---The dealer there had a dog crate in his office but I couldn't see a dog in the crate. I asked him what kind of dog he had--He replied--"an invisable dog"--made me laugh---

                                                            The above is so true isn't it??  Do you talk to your pets?- I always have--- I swear that when I told Lopez I was going to return this morning, he understood and apparently was very good  for Himself--      

So, the days are busy here--- just for a short time, until we settle in the small community of Lakefield, Ontario---Keep your chin up--(Dad's expression) Your election is nearly over and with any kind luck, it will be a perfect day--

                                                                        Oh--almost forgot--

You are a VERY SPECIAL person--Always remember that!

Good day to you all--I just got back home--Himself is at his lodge --  I had the winter tires Torqued---cannot get the sensors back working-- (Their machine is broken---)-came back here to walk Lopez in the rain  --AND HE DID HIS BUSINESS---and I thought I'd write you all a few lines to let you know that I am thinking of you-----AND--then--I shall get this house tidied up and my goal today is to get rid of a zillion pair of boots and shoes that I never wear--maybe this afternoon I can do that--

Ila is my Mom--- (the little girl with the long hair)--on her left is her Mom--on her rt is her Mom's Mom and  in the back of my Mom, is probably  another close relative---The house they are standing in front of, is an old farm house, situated along the 401, sorta in the area where we will be moving--

Now, inside me--- are all the above women's thoughts--and who knows--maybe they are even looking over me--All those women made me--- Now isn't that just so neat??--

As yu can tell, I was digging into old pics on this computer and saw the 2 pictures above--kinda liked them  --Anyway, we have a rainy day here--a good day to keep  on de-cluttering-

So with that , I must keep going here--I just sprinkled "happiness Dust" all over all of you--So,  SMILE---and remember your Mom and your Grandmother--- They will be so happy that you thought of them--

A Walk can be as good as a rest--

Good day to you all--another day to enjoy--to love---We are so fortunate to wake up to-day--to smile-and say "Good Morning World!"---I have been changing clocks---the ones on the main level mostly--Lopez and I have not been out --yet!---And it is cold outside--no snow in the air--but it feels cold---

The above is a picture , sent by Son#2. the Pilot, from Brazil--a sandwich --huge! And the picture below is , I presume,  his morning breakfast--

Yesterday was  like a day that you never want to see again--The boys came out and cleaned out the garage and took whatever they could use and got rid of the rest. I had to keep an eye on it all, as things were flying out of here and some things I needed myself-  but--they did well--even packed their Dad a Tool kit-----  "Moving is not or the faint of heart!---"I believe my Dad said that!"---

So--- It looks mighty much like winter is coming to the North--- Where we are moving will never have the snow load  that we get up here-The pictures below are common for this are--- NOT WHERE WE ARE MOVING TO!

Remember that to-day is SUNDAY---I hope that you get a wee rest in-I also hope that you  are happy--and that you have time to appreciate everything you have--The meme below might  force you to sit down and get a rest in once in awhile--- LOLOL

Sometimes a walk is  as good as a rest--

Sprinkle some Fancy Schmancy every now and then--

And why on earth am I so late blogging??--Someone said, "It's better late than never"-----but............

 But---  I must tell you all what happened-- Very early this morning, Son #1, Son#3 , and Son#4 ,  descended upon us---  cleaned out the garage--and the shed--  and partially in the rec. room-- took trailer loads of "stuff"  away in their trailers--to parts unknown-- to give away--or to store in "their" sheds-----The garage certainly looks better-- also the basement---  We have lived here so long and accumulated   so much! ----   It is so good that they did that for us!  Maybe people should move every few years as it forces one to de-junk----

They have gone now---  and I sent  each one home with 4-5 large chocolate bars for Halloween for their children--- Gramma's treat--

Son#2 is in Brazil-- Pictures will probably begin to arrive in a few hours. I tracked his flight most of the night off and on--

So, you might say, that we are getting right into the move--  Lord Love a Duck! --Dec. the 5th, the mover arrives---  and so much to do in the meantime.--

l'll say it again--We should have done this 10 years ago--We would never have accumulated so much stuff--Maybe there should be a law---  like--every 10 years, we all downsize--like--after the age of 50--

AND--You all in the U.S. have an election in a couple of days---I pray that it works out--- I have never heard so much name calling and awful things said, about other people--never in my life! Anyway, enough said ----kinda had to believe --

Anyway, enough said--We are good people---We do not have to put up with craziness do we?  -I believe  being "fancy Schmancy", kind and caring  to other people, is a good way to be ---

It's a new day--

    

Good Day---You are out of bed---  This day has begun--- and to-day is going to be a good day--I am back home now so will add some to the blog---  

As we were going out to the car, it was snowing, in the air---not staying on the ground--Yikes eh?

So, Himself is at his Day Program--and he seemed happy to go--I see there is another Seniors place, just behind where we will be living--and I hear they run a Seniors Day Program--I will call them---

So, how was your Halloween?--How much chocolate did you eat?--  This is the first year ever, that I did not devour even one chocolate bar-(probably because the Doctor- put me on a heart medication)--Unbelievable!

                             Below are some "Halloween " pictures from over the years----

To change topics here, we now have a mover, who will be here Dec. 5th--and we leave a few days after the mover--The whole thing is kinda scare-y--I feel like I am literally  from the back woods , of Canada-like "the country mouse moving to the city"----Well, I guess I really am!--

I know almost everyone here in town, so when , I needed to change a "moving date" etc---yesterday I just called the lawyer, and requested it---  I heard from Son#2 very quickly, telling me that I cannot mess with the planned dates etc---I felt kinda bad-------  but , this is a small community --That same lawyer called me later on, telling me that whatever I asked him to change , was just fine-in fact he would drive all the paper work out here to our home and we could all discuss it--In fact, he wanted to see Himself anyway. he said---to, "chew the fat" s Dad used to say--

                --Things seem to be done differently in a small town, than in a large city-

                                                                I must continue on here--just remember-
      You are way stronger than you know--- braver--smarter--and loved--- Never ever forget that!!

                                --I'll check in this evening--see how you got thru the day--
