A new Freezing Cold Day--but a month closer to Spring!

                    AND-----  It is Saturday, January 31st--Holy Cow-- the end of January-

And--  I Shall return--I just wanted you to know that I have you covered--I WILL TAKE CARE OF EVERYTHING!-------but-- -but--     but-   You must give me time here--LOL

AND_-The wash is in the dryer--The cat is fed--and --I have returned--

to--

                                "Blasts from the past"--

but--this Emma--to-day--  I turned on Facebook--and there she was-and she looks great!--But, below, is Emma as she used to be--in the past--Amazing isn't it?

    and below, there is Emma again, with Miss Hannah and son#4

and , below, there is Emma again--with Hannah and Ava (her little sister)

    One never knows what one might find in a computer eh??--

So----                     There are lots of wise words--

#1. It takes a lot of loving to make a home.

#2. Even getting older takes some practice!

#3. You do not always have to leave home to take a vacation.

so--I am thinking of you all--that you are strong to-day--that you  make yourself happy to-day--that you love your friends and family to-day--"MAKE" yourself happy to-day---  only good thoughts allowed in your brain----and-----

 

Forever Healthy, Happy and Grateful!

It is a brand new day-- as new beginning--We CAN be STRONG--if we try--#1. Worrying can be controlled

    #2--Anxiety brings anxiety and 

    #3--Turn over a new Leaf-

Lots to do to-day--I hope it will not be one of those 

"crying" and "Sobbing" days-- I must be strong--face to-day-- with 

"strength--"  

How many days till summer?

 It is Thursday, January 29th --minus 22 C outside--  not as windy as it was yesterday--but snowy--and very very cold! It burns the ends of my fingers when I am out there even for a short time.--  I just got up---was up earlier however to turn up the heat in here--I am supposed to meet Dave for Breakfast at 9-30am--so will chat a bit here with you-- then will come back, after breakfast.

            Will it really be 143 days to summer?? I just dunno--but                         "summer" does sound wonderful to me, right now!

Looks like Hannah is on Allison's back in the above picture -Phil in front of them--and below, the Lakeside of our old house-with lots of snow-a typical winter-

        and there is Fred, below with so so much food in front of him--

AMAZING!

I hear the washer , chugging away-- and I must start the car soon--allow it to warm up--

Warm clothing this AM for sure--and keep lotza heat in this place-I shall return--and--

I AM BACK---

Ready for "Words of Wisdom"--which I did not write--but--wish I had??__

#1.-Listen to your feelings

             #2.-Believe the best of everybody

            #3.Action is worry's worst enemy!

So--- strength--We must sorta be "tough"--believe that this is the way it is supposed to be--(but--"is it"??) and --if you feel your partner sorta around you, maybe he really is---What do "yu" think?

Thanks for being my friend! I appreciate it!

 Good Morning--It is Wednesday January the 28th--It feels like it must be cold outside as it feels pretty cool in here.I have turned up the heat. One good thing however is that it is NOT snowing--yet--I see it might start in the afternoon--

Well, it is now almost 10-30am-- and I need to sweep off the car, and head to the grocery store--Make sure your day IS going well--If it isn't, change it--make it happen----Tell your self that "You CAN"  do this--

I hear that Son#2 the Pilot,  is going to TelAviv to-morrow. Do any of you need a ride there? If so, let me know, and I shall book you on--

                                So--- a few blasts from the past--

This is Emma -Son#3's daughter--now in her 2nd yr University--

-and Emma's Mom with Hannah-- Son#2's daughter--finished University now-and below, me---  HIMSELF'S SISTER--WITH HER DAUGHTER--now an adult-- 

So-- Wise words-- #1.-Happy is a person with a Hobby

                               #2.Live in the present.

                              #3.Spend some of your time protecting the earth

So, I am off to get a few groceries--and will be back as soon as I can-- Meanwhile remember that you are STRONG_and YOU CAN DO almost everything! I will check on you all later-

                                -BE A STRONG PERSON--

Where has the time gone?

 Good morning --It is Tuesday, January the  27th--seems kinda cold in here--was up earlier to turn up the heat--The floors seem so cold when you first get up--

So, Sushi had her visit to the vet--had a few needles--She felt so heavy when I carried her downstairs here, but the vet said she had actually lost a bit of weight--

It feels very cold--minus 14 C. outside-right now--will go up to minus 8--or 9-no snow falling yet---I think they predict a few more flurries--

This AM I am going to meet a friend for breakfast--It helps to pass the day when I can meet a friend--

I shall return---  just read all your lovely comments from yesterday--Lynda_Well, Here I am AGAIN--  Going out to start THE CAR  -so it can warm up before I go for breakfast--but-- a few pictures here--memories

-Now--below is just the sweetest picture ever--  Ava and Emma, Son #3's girls--both in University now-on our dock--

and below--  "Baby Lopez"

above-- Fred and I with many dogs--Zeus in front!

So--I hope that you are "up and at-er"

so I hope that you are feeling strong--that you are ready to face this day--Be wise!---  Be strong!

    #1.-Defy time!

#2.-You can!

                #3.-Remember to live!

So I must start the car--  allow it to warm up--I hope that you can face your day with happiness----strength---  positive thoughts--We only  come by this day once-- so lets make it count!

Don't be a POOPYHEAD!!

 It is Monday, January 26th--very cold!---  We did not get more snow, but Toronto  got 46cm of snow--the most snow ever to fall in Toronto--

To-day Sushi has to be at the vet here in Elliot Lake for 11-07am----She is in her crate right now --yodelling--loudly!--It was a challenge to bring her down the stairs without her scratching me!----I never took her to the vet when we were out in Lakefield--I took Lopez to the tune of $600-----  I wonder what the vet here will charge for Sushi--

Son#2 made it home from England--last night--I guess it was quite a drive from the airport in Toronto, to his home near Peterborough.--snowy!!!

Son #2 helped me tune in CP24 ---  I like that TV channel--but could not find it here--Now I have it--Boy Oh boy--When one moves there is so much to do! Below--Hannah running thru the leaves--

and below--  Cole pulling Miss Hannah--

Willow--  Allison and Hannah

So--How are yu??--  Did it snow in your area??
So--I must be strong--I must be organized--Taking Sushi to the vet will not be easy--a nervous over weight  very heavy cat!

I shall return--will add to this blog--

Meanwhile remember to stay strong--

And I shall see you later--

 

Your Mother and You!

 It is SUNDAY__ THE 25th  OF January--and I am FINALLY on here--blogging--I was out for breakfast/lunch-- with Dave--my friend and my son's friend-It was Breakfast/Lunch----It is VERY cold-too cold to snow--

Last evening I went to a concert--It was all in French--I left Lopez at home and he survived--The concert was all in French-so difficult for me to understand sometimes, but it still was enjoyable---

    Now---Words I wish I had thought of--

    #1. Believe the best of everybody--

            #2.-Without the past, there is no future.

#3. -Cherish Solitude

Below is a picture of my Mom--before she was even married to my Dad.---She looks so pretty---Too bad we really never think of our mothers as young girls--

and  below that--Mom and Dad's 50th wedding anniversary--

    I am in the 2nd row--  far left on the left side of the photo--Fred On far rt-back row

        Son#2, Fred, Son#3 and son#4

        Son#2's Aircraft-below-

so---time to get on with this day--How is your day going?--  Is it "colder than cold" where yu live--because it is VERY cold outside here-

I am sure it is the same in your family--If your Mother was a strong person (was she?)-then I am sure that you are a very strong person--because I am sure that she taught you to be "strong"--Mothers do that!!

Computer trouble this am--but--I am still thinking of you--

 It is Saturday, January 24th-- and extremely cold -freezing rain--ice--just dangerously cold !-We all hope that our vehicles start---I will go out early and  start the car--and I hope it goes---- because-- I am supposed to meet Dave for brunch--at noon--This AM I have  had big time computer trouble, so will try to fix it all and get back to yu all later--Meanwhile stay strong--stay warm--  and stay happy--

I shall return---I only hope now that my vehicle will start--

See you soon--  Hugs, Lynda

Never Forget How Truly Amazing You Are!

To-day is Friday,  January 23rd-- VERY COLD OUTSIDE!-minus 23C--and dark--no snow promised so far to-day----but to-night it seems there will be more snow-Winters here are very  harsh--so---

I shall return--I must feed Sushi who is meowing upstairs-- and feed Lopez, who already did his business--get the washing going- Maybe it will be daylight by then --(I hope!)--Maybe it will be warmer inside here by then--(I hope!)-----so get dressed--put a smile on your face-- You really are truly amazing--  Never forget that!

Well--I am back--trying to add to this--  very very cold here this AM--                            __flowers-- arranged by daughter in law--

below--a Grand daughter-Sophia-maybe  Emma or Ava--or Andie

            Hannah in the middle--Ava and Emma on her sides
So--Life just goes on--  A man at the gas station this AM took off his gloves and brought them over to me, when I was filling my car -(I had forgotten my gloves)--so nice of him!---and another thing--My Dr called this AM-and has reduced the am't of Thyroxin I was taking --I am SO so happy!-- Maybe I can stop crying--Maybe it will help me be "me" again!

    So, life is good---right now anyway--We must just keep trying eh?-
