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!
Lynda, so glad you are almost back, that sounds like a wonderful Service remembering Himself! Such a great picture of you all, too, glad some one took it while you were all were together! Hoping the move goes as smoothly as it can! From Doris (Ethelmerz) Texas

ReplyDeleteLopez has been pretty confused-- Sushi mixed up quite a but--poor pets eh?--- A move is hard on them--Lynda
DeleteIt is hard on the fur-babies, for sure. They like their world to be predictable.

DeleteThe memorial was wonderful!! It was very fitting that you were all there at "home". Blessings to you as you progress each day. Donna_cps from Lansing, IL
ReplyDeleteHi Donna-- nice to see yu all again-Lynda
DeleteIt's Kathy. I logged off early yesterday so I missed your post, and this morning I had my Pilates class. Finally checking in and I was so happy to see your blog! I have missed seeing you each morning. I can hear how happy you are to be home! And I'm very happy to hear that the memorial for Fred went well with so many family members and friends. He was much loved in your community. Things are quiet at my house. It's been unbearably hot and humid here so there's been very little done outside. I have the A/C going most of the time and the fan on when I'm in the living room. We had 2 nights of really bad storms with lots of thunder and lightening. Daisy doesn't usually mind but both Sunday and Monday nights she was pretty scared! I don't see her much during the day, she lies either in my office or the bathroom right next to the A/C Vent! Cooler there I suppose! Thanks for checking in!
ReplyDeleteWe have had bad storms also Kathy--Yes a very brief blog--but I missed all of yu also--- SO SO nice to be home!-There is no place like home is there?-Lynda
DeleteHi Lynda: You made it!!! So glad it went well and also that Fred''s memorial was good and well attended. And by the end of the week you will be moved into your new home. You must be so excited! Hugs Brenda
ReplyDeleteBrenda--I am very excited--- love the north--altho it has been very hot-Lynda
DeleteI’m so happy for you!!!!! You look so happy.🥰 Vicki from Mass
ReplyDeleteoh Vicki-so good to be home here-- and all is going well---so fr-Lynda
DeleteOMG, sis...I just saw this! It's wonderful you arrived safely. Your things from Lakefield will, too.
ReplyDeleteMarvelous photo of the people who attended Fred's service. He was loved and respected by many people.
It's par for the course here. Chores, as always, but my closet is done! Everything came out. I paid a friend to lower that top shelf I couldn't reach, except for a few things...laundry is done.
We went to a Casino yesterday to play Bingo on little Ipad things...you just watch the screen as the numbers are called and it lights up and buzzes if you won. It was to celebrate Donna's birthday. She won $113. I won nada, but that's ok. I figure someone else needed the winnings more than I did.
Friday is my birthday. You will be moving. I will be going to the Minnesota Zoo with my daughter and grandson. They have a new red panda exhibit. They are so darned adorable. I've seen them on all the zoo shows I have watched.
We all, I am sure, will look forward to more blogs when your new computer is set up.
I will return. 'Til then...{{{HUGS}}} Love, Maggie
Maggie--- Friday is your Birthday--Happy Birthday early--Lynda Yes--the new computer will be great HUgs to yu Lynda
DeleteLynda, SO glad to hear from you! Can't wait until you move in, and get to see pictures of your new digs! Hang in there! :) Marti
ReplyDeleteMarti--- moving to townhouse this week--love Elliot Lake
DeleteGlad to see that you made it safe and sound back to Lake Eliot. I'm so happy for you, because I know that's where you want to be. It will take time to get settled, but you've waited so long for this. Being in familiar surroundings is everything. It's good to see a smile on your face again.
