Get up and "at-er!"


Good Morning Y'all! --I survived another night--I hope we all did! --It was a challenge  as my Himself had a Birthday dinner--  We all went to Son#1's Restaurant--I took a cake--- (-seems  that  we are not "cake people"------)--but--when one is 97 yrs young, we all try to do what we feel is right--AND----  I DID NOT CRY!----It seemed like a happy occasion--
So, Son#2 is in Britain--sent a photo --Below is his plane loading--  getting ready to leave--


                                              AND---- There he is--  A "Blue Jay " fan for sure! 


and his hearty breakfast--below--

Here it is "cold"-----frost on the car--  Lopez and I have not been out yet--  We are kinda late--

a blast from the past above--again at son#$1's  restaurant---- must've been taken a few yrs ago--
I must remember that my Dear Husband is near me--watching over all of us---Doncha jess wish we could talk to those who have passed?---You know, when I die, I guaranteed-- that I will bug you all--talk to you--- tell you all about  everything going on--
Remind you to get outside--exercise-- hug yer loved ones--not to eat too much cake--
Anyway--Lopez and I must get outside--into the cold--AND--It IS cold!!!  
so, get on yer best "BiB AND TUCKER"----and get outside and face the elements--
Hug your family--AND NO MORE CRYING!
I am watching--

  1. Hi Lynda
    Sounds like you all enjoyed a nice BD celebration.
    Pilot son sure does eat. It would be so nice if you hopped on a plane with him. Just a short jaunt....would be fun, j you'd be safe and find great places to eat.
    Have a great day. Drizzling rain here.
    Hugs

  2. Hi Lynda, it's Kathy. Sounds like a lovely celebration of himself's 97th birthday! I'm glad you enjoyed being with your family. Today Tom and I are driving up to Sartell, MN (about an hour) to see our Grandson Aaden be confirmed. Kind of a special day and thank goodness it's a nice day! And I finally had a good nights' sleep! Love Son #2's breakfast. Must be what they call a full English breakfast. I'm reading a book series written by an English man and he refers to that quite often! Enjoy your day today!

  3. Good Morning!
    That's nice you were able to celebrate himself's birthday with some of your family.
    Hubby and traveled about 2 1/4 hours one way to visit with my Mom in Ohio, we are in Kentucky. I took homemade soup, crusty bread, and Strawberry Rhubarb pie for lunch. Hubby and I aren't lunch eaters, so that was pretty much lunch and dinner for us.
    It was a nice visit especially since I don't get up there as much as a should. We also went to the cemetery where my Dad and both sets of my Grandparents are buried. Then we got in the car and drove 2 1/4 hours back.
    It was a long day, especially sitting in the car that long, but all in all, a nice day and a nice visit .

    Have a wonderful day, Lynda!

  4. Good morning, sis.
    It's cold here, too, but not down to the freezing level. The sky is a bright and beautiful blue.
    I am happy the party for Himself went well. Trust me, he was there and heard you sing to him...and he IS watching over all of you!
    The breakfast looks amazing! I'd need to order half or request a "doggie bag."
    I have already accomplished a huge load of laundry. Now I'm working on getting kitty throw up off the rug. It happens when Lucky eats too fast.
    I got the wrong day for the play with my daughter so, Tuesday I have the car detailed and Wednesday I go back to Cindy.
    Almost time to put the clothes in the dryer and start another load. I will be back to check in later.
    Hope your day goes well and Lopez and you don't freeze. Are you putting Vaseline on this paw pads before he goes in the snow and ice?
    {{{HUGS}}} Love, Maggie

  6. What a precious memory to hold on to as the days go by. Are you sure Fred knows and appreciates how much you still love and miss him.

  7. We used to celebrate my husband's birthday - the first few years after his death, but now I just have a mass for him on his birthday and my kids usually try to attend it with me. It has been 6 years and 7 months since he has passed and I still miss him every day!

  9. Awwwww, you are stronger than you give yourself credit for, eh! So glad you got together to celebrate Himself. I am sure he was smiling!

    Oh my goodness . . . Son #2's breakfast looks ginormous! But delicious.

    Well, onto a new, beautiful day.

    hugs and blessings
