Good Day--FINALLY I AM ON HERE--This morning-early-I went for groceries--and you know how it is--when you get home, they must be put away--and then Son #4 called with a wee bungalow for sale in Elliot Lake--He just heard of it--- I know where it is and it is on a lovely street in the section of town I want to move into--Something to think about--I'll have to wait for son#2 to get back here to see if we could swing it--financially--
So, Are yu feeling strong to-day? STRONG is beautiful!!!! It is not easy to feel strong every day--I am not sure if I feel as strong as I should feel--Living alone is very quiet---kinda lonely-- Well, Lopez helps me out--for company--AND IT IS COLD OUTSIDE THIS AM_-No snow here --or falling--but cold! Strong is beautiful!
Well, that bungalow in Elliot Lake in the part of town you want to be in sounds like something to at least think about. Definitely good to talk it over w/son#2.
ReplyDeleteOh my little Miss Lilly is small, too (not as small as Lopez), and she thinks she’s part of the big dog category attitude-wise! LOL
((HUGS)) and smiles! Yup . . . have to remain strong, right!

Well--I need to move back to Elliot--But--I do not feel I should buy another house--What do yu think??--Lynda
DeleteHonestly, I would wonder if you want the responsibilities/work of a house. Obvs, it would not be as big as your previous house, but . . . maybe time to settle for something that would be a little less work. And for sure you don't want something that would require fix up. You've already been through a huge move! HUGS

Glad to 'see' you here, sis.
ReplyDeleteA small bungalow? Maybe 2 bedrooms, 1 floor? Sounds great! If you really want Elliot, I hope you can swing it.
Sushi keeps you company, too, right? You didn't mention her.
My new car is terrific...I am so blessed.
Yes, lugging the groceries in and putting everything away is lots less fun than shopping for them! We won't mention the cost.
Weather is sunny here, but still cool. It will get a bit warmer later, but it's still jacket weather. At least we've said 'so long' to boots, gloves and heavier hats.
Guess that's all I got right now. I'll check back later for comments, though there haven't been any the last couple days. Love ya anyway. {{{HUGS}}} Maggie
Cold here too for this time of year--Warmer days will be so nice!--Yes Sushi is good--On my bed right now--AND HAVING YOUR NEW CAR IS FABULOUS!--Lynda
DeleteHi! Were you able to look at the bungalow online? Was it in good shape and have what you need? Nice of son# 4 to let you know about it. I wonder if now that you have tried apartment living if you want to go back to all the maintenance of a house? As you said, something to think about, and maybe it is an answer to your prayers. I hope you do not drive yourself crazy with trying to make a decision, again, do a pros and cons list, be honest with yourself about your reality and capabilities, and then decide and don’t question the decision.
ReplyDeleteGlad you get out and walk. Put on some music so the apartment isn’t so quiet. And keep working on getting your strength back after your cold/flu bug. Hugs! Colorado Susan
Susan---trying to find out if that wee house is fixed up--furnace etc--- It would take all my $$$ so I"d hate to have repairs--- I just might turn it down which means I am stuck here longer--Lynda
DeleteWe are having our 'regular' spring weather. Last week we had highs in the 80'sF with hot sunshine. This week we are having predicted highs in the in the 50's moving up into the mid 70's through the course of the week. And a possibility of rain today or tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteSo glad your weather is nicer now, so you can get out and walk Lopez; so nice to get out the house regularly without freezing like in winter.
Happy Wednesday.
Happy THursday to yu too!--Sunny--but pretty cold outside still!--No snow tho!!--Yers--Lopez and I "hoof" it everywhere--Lynda
DeleteHi Lynda, I too went grocery shopping today and just finished putting everything away.
ReplyDeleteRegarding the bungalow, are there photos online, or could Son #4 go to an open house and take a video of it for you to view? Do you know if you would have a lawn that you would have to mow? You gave away all of your gardening equipment. Did he mention if it had a garage? Do the appliances come with the bungalow? It's something to consider since it seems you really want to return to Elliott Lake.
Were you able to check to see if you can volunteer at the community center?
I hope you have fully recovered from feeling ill.
Maureen from California
Maureen--so much to think about--So far it seems that little house would take up all my cash--- so leaning towards not getting it--which means I am stuck here still--Lots to think about eh??--Lynda
DeleteHi Lynda: I agree with all the above comments regarding the bungalow. Still good to talk to son #2 and remember that the sons in Elliott never helped much and Matt helps all the time. Have you checked out anymore about volunteering? Are you feeling better now? Hugs Brenda
ReplyDeleteBrenda I now have volunteered to help out on the Bingo--THe neighbour Lady will take me--That will help to meetbpeople I hope!-
DeleteI forgot to sign the above Brenda--Lynda
DeleteIt's Kathy. Nice of Son #4 to let you know of a place that's for sale in Elliot Lake. It's good to talk it over with Son #2. I can only imagine how quiet it is for you now. My husband and I don't interact all that much during the day - he is in his studio downstairs and I'm upstairs. But I KNOW that he's down there and is available if I need to talk to him. He's planning some overnight trips up north so he can do some sketching and take some photos - I'm sure I will miss him a lot. But I do have Daisy to keep me company. I hope you are feeling better after being so ill! Have a good rest of your day!
ReplyDeleteHi Kathy-- Yes The cold/flu--I wonder if it wa RSV??_- It was a bad bug!--I am still coughing--Lynda
DeleteLynda, Marti here. I know how loneliness feels, but I mostly enjoy my own company. I've lived most of my adult life alone, other than when I was married for 13 years, but that was a long time ago. He died in 2013. All of my family is gone now, except my cousin who is fit as a fiddle at 80, but I really don't see her too often, just holidays. I see a few friends about once or twice a year, they don't live in my town, and my bf visits from out of town, but it's mostly me. I have my dog Jake, thank goodness! :) At least your son is right there, close by, for what seems to be often.
ReplyDeleteMarti--YU alone a lot--????? I did not realize that--WE are the same-- 1 -705 849 6155--my cell==-I admire yu doing so well on yer own--I must learn so also--Lynda
DeleteHi Lynda, nice of #4 to let you know about bungalow in EL as thats where you seem to want to be. I hope it has pictures on line and a garage.
ReplyDeletePutting groceries away ggrrr.
Hope you're feeling better.
Enjoy your day.
Heavy rains on the way through Easter.
Hugs. Love and prayers
