May the spirit of a Warrior reside within YOU!

I tried so hard NOT to blog to-day--but----  I do miss you all---  so, here goes----  Life is busy----  I see some of you have called and I will get back to everyone---   I just need more time---There is not enough time  in a day to do all I need to--  So, why is it so busy?---   #1----  There are boxes EVERYWHERE---  pictures leaning against walls that may never get hung--(but I hope they do-- -in time!)

-Son#2 -the Pilot is here most of the time---and suggests   places to go, and things to do---so off we go---and the boxes just sit there waiting for me to figure out where to put stuff-- Eventually ----life will calm down----  You see, we haven't lived close to Son#2 forever---and he delights in showing  us everything---kinda cute!   

This morning he said, "Come on Mom, lets go to the book store up the street--You wanted a book on Lakefield--  --and lets walk to it-"--(I haven't walked in years)----  so--  I huffed and puffed a lot--but we did walk a few blocks  and I bought a book on the history of this area--

His wife  then asked what Church  we go to--It is Sunday --Well, I haven't been to Church in years--but when I used to go, it was to the United church--  His wife said she was going to the United Church-- and of course, she was walking to Church--- so, we "hoofed" it to that United Church------ and I absolutely loved being in a Church once again--and I enjoyed singing the hymns ----- 

I dunno when the boxes will ever be unpacked--because this afternoon, Son#2 and wife , insisted we go to Costco--We put Himself in a wheel chair and pushed him around Costco--which he absolutely loved-- It was packed with people but it sure felt like Christmas--

--and to-night, freezing rain is falling---  --and you might think that I would  attach the boxes--but-----  there they sit---Holy cow!  So much excitement----  AND---- TO-MORROW I AM one year older----and---- the "Blind man" is coming in the morning, so we can order some sort of window covering,  as all the neighbours around here can see in every window---

But---- soon--I promise-life will calm down  and I shall answer the phone----   and stay here AND -unpack boxes--- Below is a picture of Lopez with Gerrard, son#2's dog--- They spend their time looking outside--Note--no blinds on the windows--

So--- at 83--(well almost)- life in the city is sure different than life was in the bush---Now I loved our life in the bush---but---it is sorta exciting to see people and a busy city -and going to Church once again, really was wonderful-- The minister spoke about :" JOY"----and we were all given a bell to shake as we sang about "Joy in our hearts"------ and if we were not smiling , the bell was taken from us---  Interesting sermon for sure!

 So, its like the country girl visits the city-----but------  SOON --soon---  I must unpack those boxes--- but----I JUST HAD TO TELL YOU that   it sure has been exciting to move at 83 Years old!-- May we all have the spirit of a Warrior within us--no matter our age--and never be afraid to try new things---
