Good Morning all you strong people!

Good morning--It is another very very warm day here--  with smoke from the fires, out west---but, we do have sun coming thru the foggy looking sky--Lopez and I have walked--He did his business--Sushi is up in the bedroom--still in a state of shock from the many moves--Hopefully she  will  be better as each day passes without another move--poor cat eh?--When we spent that week in the motor home , she hid between the bed and the wall and after 3 days  where she did not come out, we had to move the mattress and pull her out. Poor cat eh?----  Cats do not like "change"!

So, the town house here, is tiny--I call it, my "tiny house"-----  and trying to fit furniture in is hard--I have not hung any pictures yet--AND----- there are 50 million more boxes to unpack--I just do not know if they will ever get unpacked--I am trying to empty one box a day--so, it just might take me  from here to eternity before this place is livable.--I took some pictures last night--See if I can send them to you-- 

It really is wonderful to be back--nice to know people---  nice to be near the 3 boys--  I do miss  Son #2 a lot, but I hear he might fly here soon--and--of course, I miss my husband-- a great deal---

Of course I have you all to chat with----thank goodness--I have missed that the past week or so.

SO----How are you all? Lordy Be! You just have to stay strong--One never knows what is  in the future of ou lives--  One must be stronger than you ever believed you could be, to deal with life!--I know that you will be---

I must post  my favourite poem--called, "After awhile"--I believe that you will enjoy it!--

I am back---- Forever and for Always!

 

Finally----  Here I am--forever---and for always-----  Lordy Be!---  I am now in the townhouse--was just out to buy a broom and a rake--- have locked myself out of here twice now--Can you believe me doing that twice??--- I now have 2 keys hidden-- one under the mat in the back yard--the other in the car---I feel kinda stupid--- I pulled the door shut and I heard "click" and knew I had locked myself out AGAIN!-----

So, what is the tiny townhouse like?-- Well, I like it--(That is a big thing!)--It is very old---(I can tell because the windows and doors don't quite meet-)---- but, everything is here--  The washer and dryer were delivered---I have 2 bathrooms--  (It is a 2 level place)--  2 bedrooms--no basement--  Gil has been here everyday --(Till to-day)-He cut a lot of bush down in the back--built a small deck  for this yr--says it can be expanded next year----  I live on a  lovely street--close to the lake---  and the tennis courts are right across the street---  and it is so much easier to be living in town here-- 

Am I lonely?--YES!!!!! --I do miss Fred--a lot!!!!---  I cry a lot----(When does that ever end?)--Son #2 calls and helps me with the banking--Allison calls and reminds me to check the Lab reports from the Doctor--Son #1, Son#3  and son#4  invite me to have a meal with them, often--and I go, because eating alone is not fun!

So, from now on, the ol' blog will be here ----enough time off eh?--I really have missed you all --I do appreciate  your comments----  I am typing on the new computer here-- which makes me wonder if this typing is too small?--You must let me know!--

Do I find it better here than Lakefield?---  yes, because it seems everyone knows me--recognizes  me--remembers Fred--That is so nice!------So, I am trying to get thru  the big move---  take it a box a day--to  empty-- Lopez , Sushi , and I , are going to make this our home----"forever and for always"----  Oh--We bought one of those portable AC units, and have it up on the 2nd level, and it seems to cool the whole place---which is wonderful! 

I hope that I hear from you all--will stay up this evening and read your responses ----  Man oh man! --I have missed you all!

-

                                                -some pictures of the townhouse here-- 

I hope that to-day you are feeling stronger than you did yesterday-- Do not allow anyone to  put you down---Just renember

--

Elliot Lake--I have arrived-- miss yu all!

Good day to you all--I have now moved to the  town house--  a  huge mess to unravel--to unpack-- to watch that Sushi the cat doesI guess it will all come together in time--seems kinda   not hide somewhere where I will never find her--So far, she is just hiding in the cat tree-- There are boxes everywhere--I cannot find much--but----  I guess it just takes time--The 2 ladies were here helping-- and  Gil (their husband and father) is outside chopping down overgrown bush--

And I am now working on a new I Mac computer , which I am not familiar with at all-so-It is taking me twice as long to type--no mouse pad--which I will have to deal with sometime--

I just wanted to say hello to you all--that I am thinking of you--BE STRONG_-I used to know a lot-- everything is  kinbda weird right now---  but--in time--I hope life will get better---  -In the meantime, I do miss yu all--a lot--  I shall look for what you have to say--I do miss you all-Lynda

 

Life in Elliot Lake---

                                            This is Elliot Lake---  one of the beaches here in town-

                                I have been walking Lopez  down to this beach every morning--

If you look closely, you will see the hills in the distance---

Right now, I am still living in the trailer----well, the Motor Home, which the dog and cat have adjusted to very well-Slowly I will get them used to the new Townhouse , but for now--to-day, they seems happy here--away from the chaos of the -unpacked boxes etc--I went to visit the townhouse yesterday and I like it--SO HAPPY THAT I LIKE IT!-----It has possibilities---  AND A LOVELY YARD--

Elliot Lake is amazing--  People recognize me--are happy that I returned--AS I AM TOO!  This is home!----  

So, "Hold yer horses" as Dad used to say--and life will return to normal soon--(well the blog will return --ha ha)-----  just takes a bit more time---  -and pictures will be posted of this place--  

I miss yu all--a lot---  Please write---  ---  Be strong--stronger than you ever believed you could be!--That is what living in to-day's world requires--

                            "YOUR" voice definitely CAN change the world!--Speak up!!!

 

Remember to tell yourself, "I can do this."

                                                        

                                                                     ME-----
                                                    I am FINALLY IN ELLIOT LAKE___  
                                         and--there is the sign that welcomed us to the North--

Surprise---!!!!!--I am here--in a sort of a way--I am in Elliot Lake--  in the house trailer--- moving into the townhouse in a few days--The movers will be in Lakefield to-morrow, packing everything--then driving here----  and I do move into the townhouse, here in ELLIOT LAKE on August 1st----

I must tell you also, that the service for Fred (Dr Young) was very nice--well attended--and the people who came , sent him off to Heaven with their blessings--The people you see in the picture above, were pretty much all family--but so many of his friends made it, also--  to send him off---plus the medical staff he worked with--

I simply had to write you this evening--so far--the new computer has not been set up--BUT--Because you all are the very most favourite friends of mine, I had to tell you the news--

                                                            You are  my favourite People!

                   Of course you can do everything-you put your heart into!---Tell yourself -"I CAN DO THIS"--because, of course, you can !!!

Love is eternal!

a blast from the past---

Good Morning---  and it IS a great day beginning!--Holy Cow eh!  I just heard that Venus will be playing Tennis to-day-- That must be Fred --Himself, -- up there,--- telling her go get back on the court-that she still can bat that tennis ball around---He absolutely loved watching tennis!

So, how are you??--How is your day going??--  I know it is early and it is downright cold outside this morning--but, here we are --a part of this new day---  so, we might as well get the body into action here.

                    Son#2 is in Britain--sent a picture of his breakfast--AND--IT LOOKS GOOD!

So, wake up----  get going---  It's a new day, and we are a part of it!

Of course you ARE feeling strong---  happy---because ---You  ARE a part of this day---

You do know that I leave on the 24th----  Holy Cow eh??----FINALLY!!! Lord love a Duck! It sure has not been easy just sitting here waiting--Yesterday , however, my cousin and his wife, drove here, from Port Perry, and we all went out for lunch--That was so so good of them to share their day with me  !

a blast from the past--- Himself , with one of the Shepherds--

Grandkids on the dock!   Look at how small they all are!--

And below----  the New Beach , in Elliot ----one of the reasons Himself decided to practice medicine

here----

--  Remember to be strong---because you are ---

 

Choose not to be a Miserable Cow, to-day!

        -and being a miserable cow, will make you feel like a miserable cow--and we can never do that! You might as well, get up --on the right side of the bed---and feel exceptionally happy and-----------------

There seems to be a tiny bit of rain falling--  which the birds and the bees will enjoy---  Lopez and I maybe not so much!--- 

 Son #2  has now moved to his new home--out of this apartment block ----to his new home on Stoney Lake.  I do miss him and his family  living so close-- He is excited however--their first home which they now own--

            Well, about three days, and I move----  We leave here on the 24th--for Elliot Lake--

                                                    So much to do in such a short time! 

How is your day going?--Are you feeling happy--?-------content??---------ready to face a new day?

                                                              

                                                                      Try to "BE YOU"

                                            and--the Pet Cemetery---  left alone in Elliot 

Remember---          You carry so much love in your heart--            ----Give some to yourself-!!

I CAN LAUGH because I have known Sadness!

Good Morning---Just look at this day!--  It is a brand new day and it is waiting for all of us to be  part of it!---So, Get on yer best "Bib and Tucker", get out there and be a part  of -----"To-Day"------Don't wait! 

We have sunshine  here--cooler temperatures--Lopez and I must get outside so he can do his business---His little life is so busy--I wonder how he is going to do, living in a 2 story townhouse---  He may enjoy the extra rooms upstairs---He certainly will  be happy to see Lola again.

We have a couple of  "PICS FROM THE  PAST"---After all, the past is what makes us  who we are to-day!--Right??

Now below is Himself, of course , at a wedding--singing his heart  out--and you know, I never ever heard him sing-----(I think he was just pretending  to sing!--maybe!)

and the boys----  maybe at that same wedding--

Tim, myself and his wife, Heather---

So, I miss my husband----  so much--Does one ever get over this??--  Maybe we just learn to live with  the situation!

Always give someone learning to live with this situation, GIVE THEM A HUG---

They need your love--- 

BUT--

I CAN LAUGH because  I Have Known sadness--
