If someone breaks your heart, Punch them in the Face---and then---

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"

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--

Kind People are the Best Kind Of People!

Good Day to you all--- It is EXTREMELY humid here--- and it seems like it will be an extremely hotter than hot, day!---We do have sun---  and-- we are a part of this day, so we might as well get rid of the "bullshit"--- but keep the good "shit"--( Excuse the language-)--

So, I have great news-- I drove out to Son#2's Lake House yesterday, and as I pulled in, up the lake came Son#2's boat--and in the boat with him, were Son#4 and Son#3--They were down here, each of them, to buy a vehicle--  It was SO SO nice to see them! 

And there is more news--  Son#3 said there is a new computer guy in Elliot who is very good, and will move everything from this old computer to the new "puter--  YEAHHHH!!--So, there is hope for the old blog to continue on---  Can you believe that??

                                                            Is your day going well--so far?--

                                           

                                             Remember not to allow life to feel too overwhelming!

                                     One day at a time---One thought at a time---One task at a time!

                                                A Blast  from the past --Himself out in Nova Scotia  
                                            Son#1's wife--and Son#3's -with Grandchildren--

                                                and -below--a beautiful beach in Nova Scotia 

                                                        Himself in the back ground--

                                                     Remember that you ARE strong---  and--

I am trying to be back here--missed yu all-

Good Morning--I am back----  until the 23rd--- (I hope!)--  and I move on the 24th---The new computer has been shipped to Son#3's home---  It will be set up sometime  that week I arrive--and I shall continue blogging--Please do not give up on seeing the daily blog--It will eventually begin again-----

So, Are you smiling??--- How is your day going?How have you been?--I have missed you--and also missed blogging--  I

I'll tell you what I had to do , while not blogging--  I had to get into a clinic in Peterborough to see a Dr., who was trying to adjust my thyroid meds-- which were all out of whack, since Himself's passing--I think the Dr., might have the proper dosage happening, now--I hope!!--When it goes out of whack, it takes forever to get it adjusted again-- Hopefully  it will be down now---You see, looking after Himself, I completely forgot to take my thyroid meds-- Now who on earth does that?-- Lord love a Duck!!

I hear that it will go to  32C AGAIN to-day--very hot!!  I have already walked Lopez and he did his business---It was a tad cooler when we were out there.

A blast from the past--Himself and I, one Halloween  --He was Mr "T"----

and--Himself, (of course) with "Biggy"the cat I rescued from frigid temperatures outside 

and himself and I shortly after we were married--
So, are you happy??--Are you feeling strong??--
Enjoy your friends--  Friends help you be strong!
I shall sign off for now--will return soon and try to read your comments--I sure have missed yu all--
Big hugs-----Its me!!!!!

To-day will be a perfect day!

Good morning--so hot here this AM outside!--I tried to comment on your comments on yesterdays blog, and it will not allow me to comment on the last 2 comment-ers--VERY FRUSTRATING!--I shall keep trying---  (I am not responding well!!!)--- Is it my computer or--what is wrong with this "Blogger" site?

I have had to change where the new IMAC will be shipped to, as I will not be here after the 24th---  so it is being shipped to Elliot Lake , to Son#3's home.


Last night, I went with Son#3 and his wife, to a Jazz  concert in the park--  I think the whole of Lakefield was there. The music was live--and great---the food was great--I think the whole of Lakefield was there--and they are ALL seniors--and they were dancing and singing--Whatta great Festival!-I finally had to leave however as I began to cry and I could not stop----I guess just watching all the people dancing and singing--and I missed my husband--He would've loved the music!

--so-a  few "blasts from the past"-----Starring----TAAAAAaa  Daaaaha   "HIMSELF""!!

Ohhhhh  man!   I really do miss him!~
He had a good long life however--  I must remember that--
The middle picture is Himself , with "Biggy", a cat I found on the Dumpster, on the highway, in the middle of a very cold winter--We adopted "Biggy" and he was a wonderful cat!
The first picture was us, at Son#3's graduation into being a Policeman.

 It is EXTREMELY hot here AGAIN to-day----
Stay in the cool house if you can-- Remember that you are absolutely the very best person in the whole wide world!
Just BE HAPPY!

Today will be a Perfect Day!
