Marge--Thank yu-- I shall never take time away again-- I promise-but--I did get gifts off to my children--Next time I shall tell yu all--Hugs-- Lynda
DeleteAnd--I did miss yu all-Lynda
DeleteGood morning, sis. Happy to see a blog today from my busiest friend!
ReplyDeleteApollo looks like a sweet, precious friend. They will meet him again. Maybe he is playing with your shepherds.
You'll have fun with grandkids home for the holidays! Family is so important, especially then.
I am determined to get a large load of laundry done now that our large washer is repaired. Personal shopping to do today, too.
Please be careful (just a reminder) with snow removal and enjoy your day! {{{HUGS}}} Love, Maggie
Oh Maggie, I began to get Xmas gifts off to all GrANDKIDS_gift cards---=and before I knew it, I was clearing snow --etc etc etc etc=-==never again---not enough time eh in a day--Lynda
DeleteGood morning Lynda, I am so relieved to see that you blogged today. I was concerned that you had injured yourself by slipping in the snow. I know this is a busy time of year for everyone, but please just pop in to day "I'm too busy to blog", okay? Sorry to hear about Apollo. Great news that the Grands are home from University. Enjoy the weekend.
ReplyDeleteMaureen from California
OK Maureen--From now ON if for some reason I cannot blog I certainly will; tell yu all the reason why--but--hopefully that will not happen again--for long while--That is a promise--and it is a very snowy day here to- day but no falling--but I did cover the windshield of the car--Lynda
DeleteGood Morning!
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a good birthday!
Good to see you posting after a few days. This is a busy time for all and I don't always get here to check your blog and comment daily like I want to, but I do try. And I always enjoy them.
Sorry to hear about son#3's dog, Apollo. That is always so hard, no matter how many times we go through it.
Glad the Grandkids will be home on Christmas break and you can all hopefully get together.
Weather wise, we are starting to warm up and they are predicting 60's and showers for Christmas. Ugh and Yuck! I want snow for Christmas.
Take it easy shoveling snow and have a good day!
Jackie
JacKie--It is warming up in your part of the world?--So nice!-- Definitely not here tho--and so much snow falling here--everyday--=but--tis winter--LOL_-Lynda
DeleteI love the Idea that Fred called the dog home to be with him this would be so him the pictures of the kids and grands are always so fun
ReplyDeletequote for the day
How beautiful the leaves grow old. How full of light and color are their last days.
John Burroughs
and yes, the leaves really were beauTIFUL IN THE fall HERE__Lynda
DeleteIt's Kathy. I, too, was a bit concerned for you but I know that it's Christmas time and things get really busy. Besides, you are the strongest woman I know and I trust that you can take care of yourself! I'm sorry to hear about Son #3's dog. I like to think that he is now with Himself! We had some light snow overnight and now we've got winds of about 20+ MPH which is making that snow blow all over. Daisy and I walked down to the mailbox this morning and I was nearly knocked over with the strong wind. Good thing she's close to the ground but she wasn't too happy about the wind either! Have a good day.
ReplyDeleteKathy-I missed all of you also---- I shall try harder to get the blog out even when busy-----because I Really did miss you all--Lynda
DeleteHi Lynda! So nice to hear from you! It is calm and cloudy in Ohio today but cold. Ohhh, so sorry for the loss of sweet Apollo. I always enjoyed pics when you would babysit. Tell your son and his wife so sorry for me. I know he is with Himself. What fun the grandkids and pilot are home. Enjoy! Have a lovely day! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteYers I enjoyed babysitting Phil's dogs when they were away__I remember them always eating each others meals--LOL-- Lynda
DeleteHallelujah (I had to look that up to see how to spell it, lol), you are BACK! I am so sorry I jumped to the worst conclusion. Of course you are busy, what with Christmas coming, all your kids, presents, and that ever present Canada SNOW! I am glad you are back and that you got it all done, in one piece.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear about Apollo. From all your blogs, we all must feel, I know I do, that we "know" your family and their pets, too! I am glad to hear the "kids" are back from college for awhile. A neighbor man just had to put his dog down, too. Jake (my dog) HATED that poor fellow. He was the mildest mannered doggo you could imagine, but because he was big, Jake was so so afraid of him. His name was Cody. I will miss Cody. I will also miss the man (his name is Al) out walking him. Maybe he'll get another dog, I can only hope?
Another lady here, down the street, had to put her dog down, that lady is in a motorized wheelchair, is paralyzed from the waist down due to a horse accident she had had a long time ago - anyway, that lady has another dog now, he's almost a year old now.
We have had up and down weather. 56, and then like 23, and snow flurries, and terrible WIND. Very, very cold. Now it's on a warmup again, and to be 57! on Christmas day, can you believe that? But, supposed to be showers.
I ask one thing, please, in the future, if you are busy, all you need to do is pop in, say, hey I have things to do, be back in a few days, and then we won't worry. I was like, what if she's passed, how would we even know?
So, it's almost Christmas, I have one thing arriving still, supposed to come on the 24th, just a gift card. I still have not wrapped anything, I usually do that last minute, all at once. I sit down on the floor to do it, these days I can hardly get down on the floor, or back up due to bad arthritis!
Have a good one!
Marti
Awwww Marti--I am so sorry that I never got on here to let yu all know that l was just crazy busy--I ill not allow that to happen again--That is a promise----I did miss yu all__I know that--Lotza shovelling going on here also--so so much snow--I had forgotten that this area gets a lot of snow----everyday--So--- Marti--It will not happen again-[-Lynda
DeleteHi Lynda: Glad to hear from you. I think we all worry when we haven't heard from you for a few days! Glad some of the grandkids have come home from university and their other life. And son #2 back home too. Is your little house staying warm enough? Sure is cold enough here today. Have a good night. Hugs Brenda.
ReplyDeleteYes Brenda--The little house is quite warm--no basement tho--nor a garage--so a lot of shovelling-Lynda
DeleteGlad everyone is back where they belong!
ReplyDeleteAwwwwwwww, so sorry to hear about Apollo. I am sure Ba-Ha welcomed him.
Yup . . . have to keep the chin up, carry on. be brave and strong!
Yes! I walk every day – good for the heart and soul and body. Definitely eventually the truth does come out. And for sure, sometimes I overthink things and then things get messed up1
Glad to hear from you . . . was a little concerned! HUGS

Awwww Barb-- a lot of snow in this area--- I had forgotten so a lot of shovelling---Lynda
DeleteHi, Lynda! Always good to see you putting one blog in front of another!
ReplyDeleteSo sad that son #3 had to say goodbye to Apollo. But I like the thought of Fred and him finding one another in heaven.
Yes--Fred did like Apollo-so hopefully they are together-----I miss them both---Too bad "death"is so final eh?? Lynda
