A brand new day!

            Good Morning--almost 7am here--dark--minus 3 C-- 

Lopez and I are up--- had  to come down here , about an hour ago  and get the fire on--"STOKE" the fire, as Dad used to say-

-So what is new to-day?--Well, "WE" are alive--I hear Son#2 , in Britain, is getting his plane ready, to fly back to Canada----no food pictures yet---but I think they will come--soon---

You remember, when he is in Britain, he usually gets a train, and goes to visit his wife's brother , and  the brother's wife------and they usually BBQ --or go out to eat--  He said they cooked fries last night--

                            I hear the wash machine  here, chugging away in the kitchen--

OH, I must tell you, I bought a few packs of those soap  cloths--Amazon was selling them. Do you use them?  Do you like them??--I know Miss Maggie had sent me some when we lived in Lakefield--a lot lighter to carry home than a huge box of detergent-

-When I look in the mirror I am seeing an "older" Lady--  Maybe it's my hair--definitely not combed yet--or coloured like it used to be--Somehow it doesn't seem as important as it used to feel--The grey/white is shining thru--

                                                    So, are you feeling beautiful this AM?

      A few "blasts from the past" might help  me remember life as it used to be--Whatcha think?--

                                                                always--lotza dogs                

                                                Son #2 with his daughter--who is now finished University

                Son#4  with Son #2's daughter beside him and our daughters children in front--

so--  the wash is done---  very dark here still--How are you feeling?---  Ready to face the day?--= Happy??--going to exercise?--- My Himself did not exercise very much--but----  HE ATE ONLY HEALTHY FOODS---(  much better than me)--and he lived to be-96----almost 97--That must tell us something eh?---
