This AM the Cleaning Lady has been here--plus I took a taxi--(first time ever) to the bank, pet store, and back home here---- The boys kept telling me the cab would cost me nothing--AND-- -$52 later--- finally I am back home, -You see, we had an enormous storm yesterday-50 cm of snow--and more, fell -I have never ever seen such enormous piles of snow--like--everywhere. The town roads were well ploughed this AM--however!
-Below is Son#2 the Pilot and wife--his wedding--and we all were there--again!
Below--Son#2, the Pilot, and Fred
and below--Here we ALL are--even with a couple of dogs-- a Birthday maybe?--
Son#2's yard--- winter---Lotza snow--- (just had to show you all)
So, how is your day going??--My Dad and my Husband, both died on this day---My Dad a few years ahead of Fred--Fred a year ago--
I liked the few words below--I tell myself:-----I am strong--I can do this!
Remember-#1.-You are never near the end of your problems--
#2. Pleasure is gained by giving
#3.Mind your own business
Son#2's yard--- winter---Lotza snow--- (just had to show you all)
Just Remember---
Hi Lynda! Hope your day is going well. Sorry about the taxi bill. Terrible. That snow is crazy. We got a bit in Ohio last night and the coldest it’s been in 40 years on this St. Patrick’s Day. Sorry you lost your dad and Fred on this day. I did not realize that. I found out I was expecting my son on this day. Glad your house is freshly clean. That is nice! Stay strong! Sending extra hugs!
ReplyDeleteVery nice cleaning Lady--friendly-- good to me-- helped me out a lot--so--was a good morning--Lynda-Yes that taxi bill was a surprise plus a wierd guy driving--
Deleteand the roads are ploughed now --Lynda
DeleteHi Lynda, I am happy to see that you blogged. With all the snow, I was afraid that you had lost your power, which would be beyond terrible. Maybe your kids told you taxis were cheap because they never took one. I know taxis are expensive in the US. Part of your expense was the meter keeps running while you were in and out of the bank and pet store, but at least you know you have transportation when you need it. Matt is getting snow just like you. it's nice that you have a freshly cleaned house since you'll be inside for the remainder of the day. Your photos, as always, are priceless. I am grateful that I've found friends that are crazy like me.

Maureen--=-= No WE have the power!!! LOL_-That taxi was expensive--The kids said they were cheap--Yes==The photos are fun go go back go--as most of the Grand kids are now in University Lynda
DeleteThe roads were good this AM<-- snow packed but good--Lynda
DeleteHi Lynda
ReplyDeleteIm surprised you could go anywhere. Also surprised cleaning ladies could get to your house today. Sounds like your set for inside for a bit. Enjoy your clean house. Taxis aren't cheap at all... but glad you have that option.
Cant believe its a year today since Fred passed. Its only been a few weeks since my himself passed. Its hard coming home to this house, we'll its all hard. Happy that you have a large supportive family.
Great thoughts for today and inserts.
Stay warm and safe.
Only 20F here today but thats better than Elliott Lake.

DeleteThe taxi cost way more than I ever thought it would--just to go downtown-(which isn't far from here)--was $52 --Lynda
Delete50 inches of snow fell overnight--Lynda
Deletehttps://retireelliotlake.com/community/transportation/ Is this where you are? If so, do you live near a bus stop?

DeleteHi Lynda! I had thought it was the 18th that Fred passed, when I went back to look, you had posted "he has passed" on the 18th, but maybe he had already passed by then. I am so sorry, of course, that he passed, BUT you've soldiered on and made it a whole YEAR without him - one day at a time. So I guess St. Patrick's Day isn't your happiest day. Here, I went to McDonald's and picked up a shamrock shake, just in the small size, since I'm diabetic.
DeleteDon't you have Uber there, or anything? But maybe they are just as pricy, I don't know, I've never used an Uber, and not used a taxi in a very very long time, and only with my husband, and that was 13 yrs ago.
It's very cold here, 25 degrees, and about an inch of snow fell. Yuck!

Elliot Lake --Yes--right place-- Lynda
DeleteHappy St. Patrick's Day!
ReplyDeleteWell, I hope your first experience w/a cab shuttle wet well.
LOVE the photos.
We had sun today, and that felt good. Still cold. And more snow expected overnight. I am not amused! But . . . what will be will be.
HUGS and blessings

DeleteGood evening, sis. I just saw this even though I have checked a couple times.
ReplyDeleteLove the photos cuz they show so much love. Beautiful granddaughters and parties!
We got more snow than expected, but not as much as you did.
My new printer came today. I haven't had one for several years.
I had my first physical therapy session to day...on the computer!
It worked our well and I will be exercising a lot.
