Stick To Your Guns--Who cares?--

                                                 A new day--  and here we are--a part of it--

                                           coldslaw--  sent from Son#2----He is out in Vancouver-- 

                                                        --and General Tao Chicken--

To-day is Monday,  October 20th--a new day--  already Son#2 the Pilot has called from Vancouver----waiting  to depart to walk the Seawall out there. And Allison, our daughter is trying to  go get her daughter out of bed, to go to visit a University  near  Medina--where they live.  THE DAY HAS BEGUN--

Are you all up--and getting "at-er" --as Dad used to say.??-----  It looks kinda cool outside, so maybe grab a coat on yer way out--
Well, I did just now walk Lopez--in his "parka"----He did his "business" so I turned around and came back--

-We might as well try to  face the day--be happy--- confident, because we are a part of  "to--_day-----

 You know, last evening I did drive out to Dunlop Lake--to Son #1 and his wife----passed our old house--had a wonderful home cooked meal with Son#1 and wife--It is always so good to eat with people--drove back home after dinner with Lopez---

-  Now this AM., I have to get my snow tires to the Dealer-- my appointment is tomorrow at 8am--to have them put the snow tires on--Everyday there is something--

Son#2 has just sent a couple of pictures from Vancouver----=  #1--The old Westin Hotel--where we stayed many yrs ago and Fred, and our daughter rode a tandem bike around the sea wall--


                                and a picture Son#2 the Pilot, just took  of Vancouver---this AM---

                                                    so pretty--daylight here--dark there--
                                                
                                                I do hope that your day ios simply fabulous!

  1. It's Kathy. Sounds like you had a good day yesterday and how nice to have dinner with your family. Our water heater died on Saturday - couldn't get a plumber out here until early this morning. He's installing the new water heater now but it's been 3 hours so far! I'm tired and want to take a shower and get dressed!!! I hope you have a good day. It's cool here today and rain tomorrow but the rest of the week will be good!

  2. Gorgeous picture of Vancouver in the pre-dawn light. The coleslaw, not so much (I can take it or leave it). Seeing Lopez on the chair made me wonder if he's able to get up there (and the sofa as well) on his own, or do you pick him up and place him there? With those short legs, just wondering. He seems pretty comfortable no matter where he lands. / Leslie

  3. That cole slaw looks delicious!

    Hope your granddaughter likes the umiversity she visits. It is such a daunting task to find the right fit! Wishing she and your DD luck.

    Lopez looks comfy on that chair!

    Hope all goes well with putting on your snow ties.

    Vamcouver looks like a wonderful city!

    Here’s to a good Monday!

    hugs and blessings

  4. Hi Lynda
    Thanks for making me laugh. Love the first insert.
    Glad you ate at sons. You see them often. Great.
    Good luck with snow tires. Won't be long and you'll need them but you don't usually have to go. You'll be ready.
    When is grief group? How about the widow ladies group you talked about starting? You seem to know several.
    Picking a college is quite the challenge. Hope visit goes well for daughter,/grand.
    Since you're pretty much settled now, I hope you'll find an exercise group or volunteer activity you'll enjoy.
    Have a great day.
    Marge/St.Louis
