Good morning "STRONG PEOPLE"!
We have rain falling-- It is Daylight --and a whole new day is beginning--AND--WE ARE A PART OF IT! Yesterday was a crazy mixed up day -for me---All these "moving" preparations , well, they take up SO MUCH time--mostly because I really do not know what I am doing, but, slowly, slowly, it seems to be coming together. I try to look at it all, as a challenge, and tell myself, how lucky I am to be able to follow all the instructions from Son#2, the Pilot. I mean, how many people at 96 yrs and almost 83 years, get to do all this?-- And, this morning, Himself was asking about a Costco----Seems he wants to go there--Holy cow eh??--And there will be a Costco nearby in Peterborough---AND, if I take his wheel chair, I can probably take him in there-- Our nearest Costco here is 2 hrs away--too far to get him there after a long car trip----
One thing I have learned with all this banking stuff is---- the importance of a cell phone-- Some of our neighbours (Seniors) do not own a cell phone---- All the security codes come to one's cell phone--I'd advise everyone to have a cell phone these days--
Anyway--some food for thought-- (Mom's expression!--Of course she just shoved that into my brain--You know how she is !)-- You know, even my Mom and Dad carried a bag phone with them--They used it to travel up here to visit us--- We did not own cell phones then, so thought their bag phone quite interesting--
The Oldies and Goldies---Here they come-- Below is "ME"--a graduate from the Hospital For Sick Kids-
and here are Son#1 and Son#2 (the blond little boy)-and our daughter--
"Remember that you are stronger than yu believe---"
Sis, that meme of the lady getting older...those are words from a song called "Landslide." I believe the singers were a group called the Dixie Chicks.
ReplyDeleteThose codes that go to your cell phone? I have seen it that you have a choice...text to your phone or to your email.
Love the photos! Who is the little girl with your 2 sons?
Doing laundry today. Got the whole room to myself so far.
My check will post this afternoon so I will probably do some shopping.
I am very pleased with the way you are handling all that you have on your plate. Thank heaven for your son!
Just checked google/maps again. Yup, we will be over 15 hours apart, but that won't deter me! Checking back later, I am offering {{{HUGS}}}, Love, Maggie
That little girl is Allison, our daughter-She was so cute--Lynda
DeleteSo glad that things are progressing w/the move, and bless son #2 for being such a big help.
ReplyDeleteYes, cell phones are a necessity anymore.
LOVELY, LOVELY photo of Lynda the nurse! Love the memory photos!
Hope Himself has a good day @ the Lodge!
HUGS and blessings

busy day here Barb--- just gave a very very old TV away to the cook in Fred's lodge--Lynda
DeleteTwo factor authentication... codes to the cell phone. Grateful for it, as it makes our financial transactions more secure, for sure!
ReplyDeleteGlad that things are coming together for you and Himself, and that you're finding little things to look forward to... like a CostCo nearby!
Just hope all the time--every minute of every day that I am doing the right thing--Lynda
DeleteFear not, it doesn't always seem like the right thing at certain moments, but it is, and it will "all come out in the wash" as mom used to say.
DeleteMom used to say that too--"It will all come out in the wash"--Lynda
DeleteIt's Kathy. My husband and I were at Costco last night. The last few times we've gone during the day it was so busy that the line went all the way to the back. I didn't have the energy to stay. Going after dinner was a good idea, not so busy! It's nice that you will have a Costco near you after you move - ours is just about 3 miles away! I think you're doing so well in organizing everything - I know it's a lot to think about! One day at a time and it will all come together! Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteOh Kathy--Everything is so slow-- Calling all these business takes a lot of time--- Lynda
DeleteLynda, you are an absolute WONDER! You are handling everything so well and with such a great attitude. I believe you are up for any challenge that life throws at you. I always enjoys the thoughts that "pop into your head" from your Mom, Dad and Grandpa. Bless your son Matt. So thoughtful for him to make a list for you that you can tick off as they're accomplished. Have a wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteGood thing for "family" members who help eh??-- Lynda
DeleteHi Lynda: Yes, cell phones are a necessity nowadays. Remember when we were growing up, there was no such thing! I have a friend in her late seventies who refuses to use the one her daughter brought her - as she drives a lot in rural Ontario where you really need one if your car breaks down! Glad you use yours. Good that the pilot is helping you with necessary things you need to do before moving. Now that Canada Post is on strike some things are more necessary now. Glad himself is looking forward to going to Costco. Something positive for him with the move. Have a good night. Brenda
ReplyDeleteRemember too sitting in Public School and the teacher told us thjat one day there would be computers as large as a room=-plus everyone, one day would have their own phone----amasing eh?-Lynda
DeleteWhat's a bag phone? I'm not sure we had them in the states, but I convinced my mom to get a cell phone in the 90s for her safety. Donna_cps2
DeleteMom and Dad carried this very large phone when they travelled--kept it in a cloth bag-There was no such thing as a cell phone then---I remember it so well as they would shout into it-- Lynda
DeleteHi Lynda, please take time to be SILLY. We all need that as life can seem very serious. Laughter is good for the soul.
ReplyDeleteI remember the bag phones. The first cell phones were big!
I like the codes texted for authentication, especially for financial and credit cards.
I find it interesting that Doc wants to go to Costco. When things settle down you can make that a reality. Be sure to pick up a rotisserie chicken that can be turned into multiple meals. Oh and cheap hotdogs at the Costco food court. Good produce too.
Going to Costco beats shoveling, raking, mowing and weed wacking.
Great inserts today. Enjoyed them. Cute pictures too. You were a "hot" nurse lol.
Enjoy your evening.
Hugs and more hugs. Keep plugging away. IT WILL ALL WORK OUT FOR THE BEST!!!
Hugs

Very busy day to-day--just gave away a very old very large TV to the cook at the lodge-- Happy he could use it--Lynda-
DeleteHi Lynda! Hope your day went well. Sadie was here today and washed the sheets and made it back without the top sheet. Yeah, that kinda day here in Ohio. So easy to feel crazy! LOL Stay strong, you got this move thing! Hugs!
ReplyDeletelordy Be--- no top sheet--LOL--YU need a top sheet--Lynda
DeleteI know, right??!
DeleteOh, Costco! It's easy to spend too much there. But, the prices are good; the meat and produce simply come in larger amounts so are good for 'stocking up' and not having to go so often. The quality of most things is really good as well. I use their store brand for my antihistimine and it costs less for an entire year's supply than one month's worth of the name brand.
ReplyDeleteYour graduation picture is lovely. Beautiful inside and out, you are.
