A Bad Storm hits Elliot Lake

                Now, Isn't the above so true?--We are made strong by the  storms we walk through.
 and to-day  there is a terrible storm howling outside here----To-day  is Monday,  March the 16th, and whether we like it or not, we are a part of this day and, it is just beginning. So, all of us,  hope your day will be special--Here is Elliot we are in a rip raging blizzard--

And--  weird that I wrote about walking thru bad storms-(Last night)---and here I am--in the middle of the worst snow storm  in Elliot Lake that I have ever seen--

left to rt- Ethan, (Son#4-his son)--Son#2, the Pilot. and Hannah , his daughter, ME, with Fred. and, we all say, "Good Morning"-----but----the weather here is very bad--

7am----  I am up--but--we are still in this bad weather--The wind is howling and so so much snow- No -ploughs on the roads

Below---  my car--in the driveway--Look at all the snow--

            It is Monday, March 16th   ---and whatta storm is going on here--  Lopez is up--as is Sushi--no wash machine on yet--   (Can you believe THAT?)--  

I am afraid I must  get off this Computer for now and pay attention to this storm which is raging outside--We may lose power--and if we do, I will return after things settle down--

                                    Below--some snow pictures                                                            

Winter weather----very very bad  here to-day--The whole town is shut down---stores, restaurants--and below--one of my favourite memories--Son#1's daughter , travelling with her dog and cat ---

                        a day at the dock and 2 German Shepherds
                                        Below--=  Fred and I--=-=must be someones Birthday

        So, it sure is a very snowy day out there--  I could not do without my 2 shovel boys=--

I shall chat with you all to-morrow----  I hope that in your area there is not as much snow as there is here--

                        Wise words might help your day go well-=-

                        #1.Remember not to take yourself too seriously--

                            #2. When you go to bed stop worrying about problems

                            #3.Believe the best of everybody--

So, think of retirement as being a teenager again--Say hello to others--and remember, the sun is always shining someplace-and everybody has a bad day once in awhile.
