It is Sunday, December 21st--after 7am-- cold outside and dark--and yes, we must believe in ourselves--- and-- yes, I am here--blogging--no more time off here--LOL-----
I guess one does what one must do, to get a job done--some jobs are harder than others--I tried to visit Son#3 so I could chat with his 2 grown up daughters, home from University-took a chance-drove over there, but that did not work out--It was "Gramma", wanting to see the Granddaughters--LOL---YU win sometimes and yu lose sometimes--and yu don't sweat the small stuff--
This child is now in her 2nd year University--
So--Time to get on with this day--Lots to do--Remember to "Be Strong"--"Be Happy"--Be Content"---""Live wisely", -and--"Hang onto Your Dreams"--oh---and-----"Learn to survive defeat"--
"I love you all to the Moon and Back'

We miss you but you have a lot to do! A “one” woman show as they say! I remember the dogs eating each others meals, too. LOL! Have a lovely day and try to rest! Big hugs!

DeleteGood morning, sis!
ReplyDeleteIt's bright and beautiful here...BUT only 6F!
Love the photos...especially the group one of you visiting your brother.
I sent gift cards to my sons and their families...the 2 in the Chicago area and the doctor one in California. The one to him did not go through. He changed his phone number and left me out of the loop! I messaged my (doctor) daughter-in-law to ask how I can get it to them.
Not many plans for me today...maybe another load of laundry. I have blankets I want to wash.
I really wish you didn't have to do all that shoveling!!! It's hard enough for a younger person. Hopefully Gil gets his bearings fixed quickly. Maybe he can get a 'loaner' from the fix-it place while his truck is being repaired.
All for now, my wonder woman friend. I'll be back later, of course.
{{{HUGS}}} Love, Maggie
Maggie--Am I really your "Wonder Woman" Friend??--LOLOL_-I wish I would not do the shovelling also---- but---it is what it is--LOL--"Blame Fred"--LOL---Poor guy!--He wasn't supposed to die!-=-== I must admit---I am "pooped" by bedtime--LOL--
DeleteHi Lynda
ReplyDeleteYou seem to shovel as much now as you did at the big house. I think the boys got your snowblower....hint hint guys....mom can use some help. Sorry the guy you hired didn't come. BUT. You got out. Too bad granddaughters weren't available to visit. Next time, call first?
Very cold in St.Louis but dry. On Christmas Day the forecast is for 70sF...HOW CRAZY IS THAT.
Have a great day. Enough shoveling.
Marge
THe boys do have my snowblower---- and I sure do miss it---Stay strong--- because life is not eazy when the spouse dies----Yes it was a sad evening last night--tired at night--but---maybe Spring will get here early??----hard without Fred!-=- Lynda
DeleteGood Morning Lynda,
ReplyDeleteIt won't be long before Christmas day is here.
Well, that's a bummer your plow guy wasn't able to clean your drive way. Hopefully, he gets his truck repaired soon or you may have to find someone else to do the job.
It's in the home stretch for Christmas and I have such a busy week ahead, it's stressing me out a bit. Luckily, I have a massage scheduled for Tuesday and I will need it.
I bet that Lopez isn't enjoying the snow so much. He's so tiny it wouldn't take much snow to be too deep for him. Would love to see some pictures of Lopez and Sushi.
Don't overdo the shoveling and stay warm!
Hugs,
Jackie
I must take photoS oF WEEE Lopez--and Sushi-=- SOO snow heRE--I HIRED Gil--Who used to do the
DeletedrivewaY AT THE OLD HOUSE__just could not keep up to the amount of snow--LYNDA
Good morning Lynda, happy to see that you've blogged. I'm sorry that the visit to your granddaughters didn't work out. Will all of you be gathering together to celebrate Christmas? Maybe at whoever has the largest home. With all of your shoveling of snow, I don't know if I should call you "Warrior Woman" or "Wonder Woman", or maybe both. You have always worked hard at getting things done, so that probably explains why you're still so strong and able to do things. Today is the first day of Winter, did you know that. Please allow yourself enough time to play your piano or to settle down with a good book.

WE ARE SUPPOSED To GO tO SoN#3 for Xmas--thE one who would not alLow me in last night_WhATTA Craxzy mess ISN"T IT??--Lynda
DeleteOh Lynda, I am so very sorry that Son #3 would not allow you to enter his home. God bless you Lynda. I'll pray that all goes well on Christmas and that you have an enjoyable time.
DeleteHi Lynda: You sure do a lot of shoveling. Get the snowblower back from your boys or have them come and do it for you. Hope one of the boys is having Xmas at their place so you don't have to cook. Hugs Brenda
ReplyDeletePHIL___ THE SON WHO YOLD ME NOT TO GO IN His house__IS HAVING Xmas--crazy isn't it al;l?--LYNDA
DeleteIt's Kathy. Sorry you had to shovel all that snow but it seems to have gone well. We have been so lucky with our weather. Again this weekend it's been very cold and the wind was blowing like crazy yesterday almost all day. But today it's warming up and we have lovely sunshine. Next week it will be in the 30's all week long, so much so that they believe the snow will like be gone by Christmas. People who love winter will not be happy, but I'm not one of them. Love the photos. Sorry you didn't get to visit with your granddaughters. Hopefully before they go back to school. Have a good day!
ReplyDeleteHi Lynda! Wouldn't "allow" you in? Well, that makes me mad! His own Mother, who drove there all on her own so she could love on her grandchildren? Well, shame on him!
ReplyDeleteAll that shoveling? That makes me mad too! It sure does suck when you have to rely on people, and then they go and let you down. I think your children should be coming over to shovel for you, faithfully. Or arrange someone to be absolutely dependable and show up! Really, no one can be trusted! At your age, you should NOT have to be shoveling, but, I guess you are SUPER strong, and a dyed in the wool strong Canadian lady. I could NOT do it. I get really out of breath, and feel sick, if I have to shovel, and I'm only 67. Plus, my bad arthritis, bursitis, or whatever it is that makes my shoulders and arms hurt, would not allow me. I would just NOT go anywhere, is what I would have to do. And I'd have to have my groceries delivered. I DID decide to do pickup for my groceries yesterday, but they weren't really until after 7. But the grocery is less than 10 minutes down the street. Of course, if I were you I would have moved into an assisted living place, but maybe they don't have those there.
Hugs! I guess life just isn't all that easy, is it? For any of us.
Marti
I am like others upset that the snow people did not show up if I were closer I would have come and helped you I do not have snow here yet but I keep praying that it comes
