January 25th , to-day, is Robbie Burns day--He was born in 1759, in Scotland-- - "A heel and a toe and away we go"" and My Grandfather would dance me round his kitchen in Port Perry--I absolutely loved him to pieces---BECAUSE HE SPENT TIME WITH ME---and I have never forgotten him--- He was one of 13 children , whose parents emigrated to Canada many many years ago--WITH 13 children--
Gramma and Grampa on the far left-
-"It's a wee brichk moonlit nichk"----a famous quote from Robbie Burns----- anyway, it is a new day --I hope that you get out there and enjoy it-----We have very coolish weather--a bit of snow also seems to fall daily----
Someone told me the other fay, that Spring is just around the corner--It seems a long time away to me-but, I do believe that the day light hours are increasing--which is a VERY good sign---
Early again, sis. Good for you.
ReplyDeleteI checked for comments on yesterday's blog before I checked at the top of this page for a new blog.
Robert Burns, huh? Gotta google his stuff again.
Car still won't start, so it's no karaoke tonight for me and Jo. Too bad.
When it's warmer on Monday, hopefully the gas line will warm up, too.
The photos bring wonderful memories. You will always have those.
Is it the new hair lady today? Let us know how it works out.
Have a friend who just came to visit. Will check back here later.
Have a wonderful day...all four of you. {{{HUGS}}} Love, your sis, Maggie
Hey--I LIKE THE NEW HAIR LADY--She did a good job also--
DeleteIts me---Lynda--- forgot to sign the above---
DeleteLove you, sis. Glad you like your hair and the lady! Sweet dreams.
DeleteHappy Robert Burns Day. And such happy memories of your Grandfather. Warms the heart! My paternal grandmother came from a family of 13, as well. LOVE the photo.
ReplyDeleteOur weather has finally gotten above freezing today, and sun! I’ll take it.
HUGS and blessings

Hi Barb--Good day here--- cold--but good!--Lynda
DeleteIt's Kathy. I believe I will work on some downsizing today. Our bathroom is finished - at least for now. So it's time to toss what doesn't need to go back in the bathroom cupboard. Tom and I got up early this morning so we could drive 60 miles to watch our grandson Aaden in his first archery meet of the season. It's quite interesting and was nice to see them all - but holy cow it was so cold in the wind! Now my husband has gone to the Art store and I am going to rest. Hope you have a great day. Oh, and my grandpa used to say that same thing - he immigrated here from Norway and he was larger than life to me! Thanks for the shared memory.
ReplyDeleteHey--YU are downsizing-- Good for yu!--Lynda
DeleteHi Lynda! I know you loved your grandpa! We never forget the ones who spent time with us. I do the same with my nephew who will be 17 in March. He lives 6 hours away but comes every holiday and every Summer. I enjoy it so much. I hope he always wants to come visit. It is a mild day in Ohio. My first day out in weeks for going to town. It was so nice and got a frozen coffee. How is your day going? Hugs!
ReplyDeleteIt has been a good day--I felt like toay I belong here--FINALLY_-Lynda
DeleteAhh! What a great feeling! Yay!!
DeleteHi Lynda, the last insert about dying young made me laugh. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteHow true that those family members that love spending time with us become so very special.
Years ago, families were huge. I think they needed lots of kids to work on their farms.
How'd the newest hairdresser do? Was she another one that couldn't fix your hair the way you like it?
Guess what....its above freezing today. Snow still everywhere but it's nice not having zero temps and horrible winds.
Enjoy today. You are amazing!
Getting rid of "stuff" and not accumulating more is the way to go.
Have a good Saturday. Read a book, play your piano or whatever recharges your soul.
Big hugs and love
Marge/St.Louis
Hi Marge--It has been a good day and todzy I felt like Ido belong here--FINALLY_-yes--huge families in the old days--So nice that it is milder there-hugs -- to yu--Lynda
DeleteDownsizing is indeed exhausting, simply because of the volume of decisions that must be made. Start while you still have the energy! Good advice.
