--The wash is done--must get to the dryer--Lopez goes to the groomer this AM--I hope she doesn't cancel-I shall return-- So, Son#4 arrived yesterday, with a hammer and screws on his hand, and announced--"Mom I am going to hang those pictures you told me about"--and he did--hung them on the wall going to the 2nd floor- - Below-- Grandchildren
Above-To the 2nd floor in my tiny house
Above--The family many many years ago
Above , My Grampa's picture which I never forgot--how he met Gramma--a teacher , on Scugog Island--near Port Perry, ONTARIO--and his horse, named Fred took them back home--How we loved that story!
note-- all the dogs
Now years and years have passed--but, I have so many precious memories of the "olden days" as we used to call them--We absolutely adored going to Grampa's house--
Below--Gramp (with the hat on)and Gramma----My Dad holding arms-- with Gramma many many years ago--
So--Words I wish I had written--
#1. If you give more, then you have more to give.
#2. Don't let being tired stop you--
#3. We are not ment to fly solo.
#4.The most important thing a parent can do for the children is to love the other parent.
so, life just goes on and on--
Everyday seems to be a challenge to me-- Can I make it thru the day without the tears flowing?-- It seems sorta easier--I do enjoy being back here in Elliot Lake--The neighbours are wonderful--stop and talk always--The grown kids stop in more and more-- to say hello-- the Grandchildren call me once on awhile-- and I feel that I do belong here--
As you can see below, we all love the North--
-Never lose your child heart!
Good morning, Lynda! It is Memorial Day. Cloudy and nice in Ohio for our cookout with my son and his family. So excited! I stayed up late the last two nights getting food ready. I am wooped! LOL! I am glad Allison is enjoying the weather. I bet Mark is enjoying his family. Lopez will feel so good going to the spa. Our two yorkies went the other day. It makes them so tired. I hope you have a marvelous Monday! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteMemorial Day--same here--but--we call it--= "The 24th of May"--is the Queen's Birthday, and if we don't get a Holiday, we'll all run away"--We used to chant that all the time--loved this weekend---and it is cloudy and wet here also--I hope it clears shortly--no looking like it tho--LOL-Lynda
DeleteYES YU now, Lopez really did enjoy his bAth--LynDa
DeleteIt's Kathy. It's a very warm day here today - getting into the 80's. I have so much yard work to do but it will have to wait until the shade takes over the yard. Too hot to do it in the sun. I feel like we went from winter to summer. I love that your son came to hang your pictures. And they are such nice pictures! I enjoy having my family photos hung around the house. I also have 5 paintings that my Grandfather painted and those are so precious to me! I hope you have a good day today.
ReplyDeleteKathy--Quit that yard work in the heat---=-Alwys good to hear from yu-- enjoy it--Lynda
DeleteIt ios turning into a very wrm day here--I like it so far-Lynda
DeleteI think summeis finally here-Lynda
DeleteGood morning Lynda, an array of wonderful photos. Glad your son stopped by to hang your framed photos. Now you can see them first thing in the morning when you come down your short staircase and again at night when you retire to your bedroom. Today is sunny and a pleasant 73 degrees. My kind of weather. Does Lopez enjoy going to the groomer? He'll be all spiffy when he returns. Have a good day.
ReplyDeleteMaureen from California
No Maureen He hates going to the groomer--LOL-- But he really needs a bath--Lynda
Deletelovely spring day here--Lynda
DeletePoor Lopez has had a busy day but he must feel so much better--Lynda
DeleteGood morning, sis.
ReplyDeleteIt's a great day here...will be over 85F and no rain predicted.
Love all the photos. Bet if you counted them...there'd be close to 1,000! And I see a kitty cat in a girl's arms, too!
In the photo of the photos going up the stairs there's a cat, too. Looks like a tuxie like mine. I believe Sushi is a tabby, though. What's up with the other kitty?
I have laundry to do, too. Other than that, I am taking this Memorial Day to chill. We remember those that gave their lives serving their country during war time. Veterans Day in November is to honor those like me who 'made it through' when they served.
The last blog you mentioned brunch with Dave. Are you doing that today?
Elliot Lake and its environs sure are beautiful! I am happy you enjoy being there.
Okay, I'll get to it now. {{{HUGS}}} Love, Maggie

Quote for the day
A man's country is not a certain area of land, of mountains, rivers, and woods, but it is a principle and patriotism is loyalty to that principle.
George William Curtis

DeleteYes --I do love the Picture of my Grandfather in the sleigh-- too large for my tiny house but-- so what eh??-- Lynda
