Please don't be a jerk.

Good day--We have sunshine-- Extremely cold temperatures--but--- It is  almost the end of winter---  so--there is the promise of SPRING--YEAH!!! -----(somewhere out there)---  

It is my hair day-- so I shall put Lopez in his crate, and "hoof it"  a couple of blocks away , to the hair dresser-----in the cold---- Monday, Himself goes into Peterborough, for his new hearing aids--Lets hope they work--that the inner part of his ears  is not damaged--

BE HAPPY----  I shall leave you with the above, to think about--  and I shall return--(with new hair)--

                                    Oh --one more thing----until I return---  Remember--

Well--=Here I Am--returned--with new hair--coloured--but--  I am thinking of letting the white show thru--Yu know this hairdo cost almost $200-----  and I go every week--- --  What if I let the white grow in and just put a few streaks into the white--?--=How many of yu at my age have white hair??--I am in my 80's-- --$200 a week is just not going to happen----  Please lt me know   if you let the white show and how yu feel about it?----  

I see the un is out--- cold tho---==-  Lordy Be! $200  Holy Smoley! OK-=-=-=  I m offa here --will check yer responses  later--Lynda

What to do if-- someone breaks your heart--

                                                     Good morning--dark here still--AND COLD!-- so important   to face the day--the cold---  with the promise of milder weather on the way--There is snow removal going on here now---  Yeahhhhh!---

Son#2 the Pilot son, is back home here--He sent a picture of what he called  his swimming pool, in Punta Cana, in the Dominion Republic--

                                                            It looks lovely doesn't it??

We had a  call yesterday--from a Lady who I knew years and years ago, in Elliot Lake-- Apparently she lives near Lakefield--I feel the phone call was from God herself--Apparently, she was with my friend Linda , who used to run with me, early every morning, in the dark, but recently, Linda passed --I guess I wrote an article about her years ago----- 

 (I used to write an article for our local newspaper, called, "The Merry Go Round"---all about raising 5 children and the crazy things that happened-)-This wonderful Lady has offered to introduce me to people --her friends, in Lakefield--Here!----There is a God in Heaven---

So life just goes on and on--minus 24 C here outside----Wee little Lopez needs to go out AGAIN--- He refused to do his business in the cold  when I took him out earlier-- 

How is your dAy going??--Is  it warming up where you live??----  Are you feeling strong??---  Please don't let the "Doldrums" get you down--or--"the crazies"----  Life can be tough -"-IF WE ALLOW  IT"-

Above, --a picture of my Mom and I--outside her house in Elliot Lake-- Dad and her had just moved up to Elliot Lake from Orlando, Florida-- Little did I know how  difficult that move must've been on Mom--She always wanted  to move back to their place in Florida--but---she never did--I understand now, how she must've felt--

            Yes--Take care of you---"YOU"-----  Be strong---  Do what you feel  is good for you---

            The world will wait its turn--

 

Another day--to be strong!

           

 Good morning---So happy that we are all alive and well! -----Thank the good lord eh??---I am up--Lopez and I ----Very cold here this AM---I took the recyclables to the road--hope "they" take them--And, I have the car running as I am going to venture up the road to Food Land--I also talked to 2 of the boys still living in Elliot Lake-

---also, spoke to son #2 , who was sitting in Punta Cana, waiting to fly an airplane full of people back to Toronto---

Terrible accident at Pearson Airport last night, but everyone  is alive ---Son #2 , was sitting  at the Airport in Punta Cana, with a plane load of passengers-- They all had to de-plane, as Pearson Airport in Toronto was closed after the accident-so  they had to stay in Punta Cana for the night--- He texted me in the middle of all that--

-I said to him, when I saw it was  him, "So, Are you heading home?"---and he replied, "Mom, turn on CNN"---The passengers are de-planing-"-

--- Lordy Be, I did not know what he was talking about--

So, He will return to-day ----  

It is extremely fortunate that everyone is OK------ The weather in Toronto has been terrible--like 40 cm of snow has  fallen over the past 2 days--  Lakefield is about one and a half hrs from Toronto-----The runway in Toronto appeared quite snowy , looking at the TV with the plane on its side--

                            

Remember to live carefree and thank the good Lord for everyday--I spoke this AM.,  to 2 of the boys in Elliot Lake--reassured them that one day , when my Himself is not here anymore, I shall return to Elliot--live in an apartment---Right now, Himself is enjoying this one level home-- 

                                        We need to be strong women---  AND WE ARE__

                                            Remember--I love you all to the moon and back--

A bit of "THIS and THAT"

    Good Morning--  President's day in the U.S.to-day-----  and Family Day in Canada--either way it is a holiday--Saturday was National Flag Day in Canada--on our 60th anniversary; to celebrate our red  and white   flag--

I am early, on here-- will carry on with household chores--and return in a bit--I just wanted to wake you all up--I did get Lopez out , early---and we hoofed it up the trail---with , what it seemed like 50.000-other people, all with dogs on a leash--

-It seems--VERY VERY cold outside--but we do have sun--

I hope that your day is going well--I think the sunshine  does brighten our sprit--even with the cold temperatures--We did get more snow overnight-I had to brush the snow off the car--and from around the car--I hear from 25 to 30 cm of snow fell overnight----

I guess that is me--I am certainly over 60 yrs--- so, I could be described  as strong, sensitive,  spirited sassy and a survivor--How about you??--Are you feeling strong?--  I believe you already are, sensitive, and spirited , and certainly sassy---AND a SURVIVOR ---

There is always a great many chores to do on a weekend--vacuuming, walking the dog, cleaning out the frig--the laundry---but---  no driveway to blow the snow off of--no stairs to go up and down-- Mom used to say, "A womans work is never done!"--I believe that!-- I hope you get time for a wee rest--Do you?? 

                                       "Keep your Chin up!" I think  Shakespeare got it  right--

                                        Love your life--Be Happy---  Before you speak-Listen-   

  

 

Here's to STRONG WOMEN---

It is snowing AGAIN----and lots of it coming down!---I have already been out shovelling around the car--but will be going out again as soon as I post this----  And in case you were wondering, YES--A lot of my friends are kinda crazy! They are the best kind you know--not afraid to laugh at ourselves-- ---Just look at the Ladies in the above picture--LOL----  Lotza fun !

So , I have changed the bed--Sunday morning, that is what I do_And it's not easy to do--because  I feel the bed is larger than the room--One almost has to climb across it to tuck the sheets in--And we now have a cat who sleeps between Himself and I, every night. Last night, I reached over to pat her as she was sleeping, (I thought she was sleeping) and she whacked me with her paw------ I guess she is still a tad on the wild side!-----  You know, I am talking about Sushi--(the cat I brought in from the cold)

So, we have snow---- SNOW EVERYWHERE----  on the car--around the car--in the driveway----lots and lots of it----AND, IT IS STILL COMING DOWN!--I think most of our highways are closed with trucks jackknifed across the highways----

So, I am still missing Elliot Lake---  I think the good Lord is dropping all this snow here to remind me of "Elliot" --and what I moved away from--I will be so happy when all these feelings of, "I want to move back"--disappear----Himself is as happy as a clam at high tide--I think,  living here is like living in Heaven, to him--no stairs--a real walk-- in shower------One day, I hope to  feel the same---and -I  will--in time!---

So, I hope that your day is going well-- Sometimes, one just has to pretend it is---then it really will happen--It just takes time--  I hope!--Remember------

                                       "" Strong Women""--WE  are STRONGER than we know-

Disappointed with "Blogger"

This is a sad day--- As yu all know, I do enjoy communicating to you all--  but --looking back---  like way back---someone--or ---some people have gone into my comments on your comments , and changed MY WORDS-- to  extremely critical words --on your President--and typed my name onto the comments--so --it looks as if  I was very critical of your President------  I feel terrible--- That is not right--- I would NEVER type in what was put there--  I may not be a big fan of someone--or some things, but I appreciate your opinions as long as the comments are not  derogatory--  I do not know how long this has been going on--  this AM was the first morning I have gone back to read what has been said----  and why was  this allowed??--   Isn't there a way that when you type in whatever you type--that it stays there?--- and  not be changed-- I am disappointed in the BLOGGER SYSTEM----- What can I do to stop this???- Any ideas , I would be certainly appreciated hearing--Lynda---
 

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY__

HAPPY HEARTS  DAY

Love is in the air to-day----

YES We all deserve a rest---The above Lady has the best idea!

I am just up. and have lotza snow to shove/push  way--but, I had to remind you that this is the day to tell your family how much you love them--

AND

YOU deserve a rest---It is also my "HAIR DAY"--Tell your husband how much you appreciate him---

Hopefully I shall return and check on you all-

Love is n the air---

 

Do not try to be Perfect--just real!

-my favourite  carton--so so true?-----So, How are you all?   As we say in the "north----Did you get dumped on????--(with "snow --" ??)--We sure did--60 cm-- fell here--  I have been cleaning around the car-- and the neighbours car--- Plus it is cold out there--minus 7 Celsius  here--with wind-- VERY  WINTERY--

So am I happy to be out of Elliot Lake , with a ton more snow there,  than here--??-- --AND --A VERY LONG DRIVEWAY----which would be left to me to clear--by myself----  SO SO HAPPY TO BE HERE!--Its an act of GOD for sure!--Please remind me of that , when ever I sink to the "depths of despair" --(which I did yesterday)--

                            Well,  I guess whatever will be  eh???-above is me--cozy and warm, inside----

So, when one moves, I am thinking, "the depths of despair" come often--because one remembers all the good stuff--forgets the terrible awful hard stuff--like--- being alone, outside shovelling, for miles and miles--all alone--wet-and cold -- Hey! Maybe the good Lord sent this extremely cold wintery day , , to remind me!----One never knows does one??-- 

HERE----We have NO STAIRS--- A STAND UP SHOWER --A SON WHO HELPS US---- AND HIS WIFE COOKS FOR US----Holy cow! ---  just some of the good things--  and--we have  money  in the bank--- to live on--without a worry---Jeepers Creepers!!------

                        I am listening to my classical radio station--- FM103.1 --so beautiful------ 

 So, I must get on with the snowy day here-- but first, I must remind you all to be happy in the moment---  "Each moment is all we need"--as it says below-----content--grateful--- accepting---

And , I must get off of here-- Looking outside, I see MORE snow falling--Lord love a duck!!!

Just try to be real--not perfect----"be you"----

 

You are amazing!

Snow storm coming--winter cold--'specially on our face--Will spring ever come??--  So much to think about eh?--- Can we put all that aside , and just think about  "US"---Yes, we CAN get thru to-day--

 The sun is actually shining here--for now--  You have groceries in the frig??-- Are yu feeling healthy?--- Are you feeling strong?---  and, the best thing--Are you feeling happy?--Some days really are easier than others---but---- You know, we always always get thru every day--no matter what happens--

I cancelled  my hair appointment for to-morrow--thought I might as well, as it looks like most businesses will be closed -----

Most of this region will be under a winter storm warning--to-day and to-morrow---Is it the same in your area??-

I had quite a time this morning, trying to get  Lopez out---  and when I finally did , it was so cold, I felt like it was going to freeze my face---But, we do have the sun-- and , so far, I see no signs of the storm that is supposed to hit us to-day-- 

I shall add to this later---  I'll try to get Lopez out again-- Remember  ---  You are AMAZING!

  

 

We Can Do It!

 Oh my goodness thought I'd never make it on here---  but--- Here I am---  Lordy Be!!--The storm is coming--so, Son#$2 was down here--early saying, "Mom, You have to get to the grocery store-- We just got back and there is no-one in the store"--

( This was at 5am---- and there I was , standing there in my nightie)---- --So----  I tootled into the  bedroom, got Lopez into his crate-grabbed the car keys--and I was off!)----  down the street, around the corner by the Bank--to FOOD LAND--no-one in the parking lot, so, I ran in------  I MADE IT --before the multitudes!-----and I grocery shopped--- enough for a few days--lotza oranges-- -fresh bread---  veggies-and-----  my downfall--- Gingerale --

You know, yesterday I drove to GIANT TIGER --out the highway--by myself---(Well sorta  by myself--Son#2 sat beside me)--I am getting used to the village here - It scared me at first--'specially after they told me that  I have that eye disease----  but----- I am taking those vitamins and maybe I really don't have that dreaded eye disease--who knows?--(Well, one can hope!???)-

                                    I am kinda a "stick my head in the sand "  type of person--LOL-

So, How is your day going??--Are you facing your world head on???-----or-----no matter what,  hoping for the best anyway??----- 

  So, here, in Lakefield,  we are going to get a bad storm with --like 1000 feet of snow--NO, really about 2 feet of the white  stuff--maybe--

-  Son #2 flew off to Montreal this AM-- will return this evening---  To-day he carried the recyclables to the curb for me--AND THEY TOOK THEM AWAY--even mine-----Lopez will have his Dog  Trainer come-- sometime next week, AND--big news, when Lopez gets in his "growl-y" mood, I tell him to get into his crate--- AND HE DOES---  He crawls in there and I shut the door--so, no more biting, for now--Big news for him!!! These dogs are not easy--boy oh boy!

Himself is good--- (sorta--for him)--I am trying to not eat the sweets--- and more  veggies---   The wash is done--  We have food in the frig--Lord love a Duck!!!  It IS a good day! How about in your neck of the woods??--

Are you feeling like a "fruit Loop in a land of Cheerios"?-----  (not a bad way to feel---kinda like you sorta fit in)  In any event, KEEP YOUR CHIN UP----  (Dads expression)--Just carry on---One more day under our belt---- 

                                                             Of course- WE CAN DO IT!

Believe in yourself--

 Almost  noon here ---  Late because a lot going on this morning--I drove to the Post office and mailed Birthday $$$ to Son#1's daughter--something I should've done sooner--- To-morrow, early, I will hit the grocery store-- AND--  I hear another snow storm is on its way here--Lordy Be!!!  

Himself was not too good in the night--kept choking on mucous---  choking--then coughing---I don't know why he has all that mucous-- I will put another pillow under his head to-night--

Our TV is full of TRUMP---We do not like him ----too sad that 2  countries, neighbours , cannot get along--Oh well--- not much I can do---sad tho---but---  I will try very hard to buy Canadian-  I never used to care--I consider Canadians  and Americans , the same people--altho I guess they are not--It seems to me that  we are all intermingled--(Is that a word?) I grew up in Windsor , Ontario, and we were crossing the Border a lot--to go to Church-----not really to shop, but some of our children married people in the US---so---  I always felt we were all the same. ----

I see the sun coming out--looks nice--Maybe it will melt all our snow--How is your day going???--- Did you get a wee walk in??--I am trying to do that everyday --I always liked the meme below---  It put a smile on my face--

                                Remember the above meme??--           Remember SparkPeople??
                So, I hope this is a good day  for everyone--  --I wonder how many days until Spring/

Just get out there and be amazing!

Good day to you all--light snow falling here--Winter is not over yet! Your day is going to go well--I feel it in my bones. 

 Lopez and I are  "up and at-er"  here! Son#2 has been down with Gerrard, his dog, and Himself and Sushi, the cat who came in from the cold-- are up also---I got to bed early last night-- with Sushi and Lopez-

-  Emma , our Granddaughter was swimming in Markham, and she did make finals , so Himself and Son#2 , watched the swim on the I Pad-------  interesting as they now post the swims on an AP on the phone--and "I PAD"--

There is Son#2, Son #3,  Emma , (the Grand Daughter)  and her Mom---  watching all the swimming , at the pool--in the morning--before the finals--

I have already been out cleaning up snow around our car, so I will be able to see the newspaper when the Lady drops it---Himself loves his newspaper!--

It is Sunday---hard to keep track of the days when one is home 24/7---

When Son #2 was in Toronto., he picked up some Chinese   Dim Sum at T@T--- Really good Dim Sum--Chinese people love DIM SUM---

So, are you feeling strong this morning??-- Is your day going well?--

 SO---  just get out there 

-AND BE AMAZING----I know that we can all do that!!

 

Life can be tough-- Be Strong!

Good day---  a quick blog here--We have sunshine, but it is cold--with snow beginning later this afternoon--minus 4 C---Snow  they say to-morrow also--kinda a normal winter day---  

So, I took a vitamin--yesterday at dinner time, and another this AM--with no allergic reaction--  praise the good Lord!--- (the ones for the eye troublers)-----(Yes I do have a lot of food allergies--but--who is allergic to a vitamin?))----  Son#2 has travelled to Toronto as our Grand daughter is in a University swim meet--I wanted to go so much but there is no way I could leave  Himself--or Lopez----and after the swim meet, I know they will not drive here--  It would be out of their way--Son #2 used to swim on the Nation Swim Team----All our children and Grandchildren, are swimmers--

So, how are you all??--It is so nice to have a weekend , to rest a bit--Altho I had to change the bed-- (only one bed--ours)--It used to be 7 or 8 beds---and-NO SHOVELLING ---The guy who owns this building ploughed out the parking area with his truck--

I try to remember the above--"Where we are headed is  more important than what we have left behind-"-I do sometimes think that one day I will return to what I have left behind----Will I??--I do not know--yet--Life is busy isn't it??-- I think I shall paste the above meme in front of my face--

                                                    It is Sunday----Make it a good day--
