May there be Peace in our Hearts!

Always believe in yourself--- 
Yes, I try to do that, but there are times, I wonder if I can really do something--
Usually if I try to do something new, it does work out--
I never thought I could sit here in a new city for so long when I had to wait for the townhouse--and now there are only a bit over 2 weeks to go--so, I have almost made it--
Always believe in yourself--
Today  Himself's niece and relatives  are driving over from Toronto, and we will have lunch out, and then drive to Son#2's home on the lake--They can follow Lopez and I, in my car---and it will be cooler and they can enjoy a few hours on the shores of Stoney Lake. I think it will be a lovely change for them!

I shall ty to take a few pictures for you all to see.

I am trying very hard  to not "lose my mind" while sitting here, waiting for the move!
I have been waiting about 5 mos., to move--  You see, the previous people were not moving out  until now--Looking back, I never thought I'd last this long without "losing my mind""--    Dad used to say, It's all about "Mind over Matter""--and he was right!
I have met some very nice people while here--friendly people-- but, "my kind of crazy people" seem to be  where I want to move back to--- I guess one becomes  "your kind of crazy" the longer we know them!
Hopefully you are feeling strong to-day---
I shall say a wee prayer that you do feel that way--

    Hi Lynda, it's Kathy. We finally have a cooler day so I can get out and get some weeds out of my garden and replant a few things that didn't come up well. The sun is shining and we had enough rain yesterday to keep the gardens happy. It's the last day of a nice, long weekend. I'm so happy you're getting company today and how nice it will be to spend some time at the lake! And yes, I can't believe you're down to the last couple of weeks before your move! I'm so happy that you will be able to move back to where it feels more like home! Have a wonderful day!

    Good morning, sis.
    Great blog today, as always. Love that first meme. Reminds me of the bible verse, "Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; 29 and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Matthew 6:25-34"
    You have more relatives visiting again! What fun! Going out to eat with friends and/or family is always more satisfying. If I want to eat somewhere by myslef, I always bring my Kindle. If there is free wifi, I can check emails, etc. If there is no free wifi, I can still play solitaire or read while waiting for my food.
    My friend I mention often, JoAnne that I used to take to karaoke, passed late yesterday. The cause was listed as respitory arrest. I knew it was coming 3 months ago. She was just DONE. Nothing seemed to make her happy anymore. Jo will be missed by our whole community...here in our senior apt building and at our karaoke venue.
    Well, more stuff planned today. Gradually getting things ready for our upcomind inspections. We don't have a date yet. Sometimes I feel like I'm still in the Army. {{{HUGS}}} Love, Maggie

    Morning Lynda,
    How nice that himself's niece is coming for a visit. Plus, you can spend another day at Matt's enjoying the lake and the company.
    It won't be long now before you are on the move again. Hang in there, you are getting close.
    Enjoy your day!

    Hi Lynda
    I loved all your inserts. I say that often don't I. They are very meaningful to me. Thanks for sharing.
    Hard to believe it's only a couple of weeks until your move. Please remember that Fred was very happy in your new apartment. I was surprised but he seemed to like it plus the attention from Matt upstairs. Far different from his isolation at EL aside from the lodge.
    Enjoy your visit with Fred's cousins and lunch out. You'll have lots of company for lunch. How nice that you'll see Matt again. He's the best. A wonderful son.
    Hugs
    NAMASTE
