Stay strong and carry on---

Good Day on this Friday, May 22nd---- It feels sorta "coolish" out there--but--we do have sunshine--just after 7am here--I meet Dave for breakfast at 9-30am--so I will have to keep moving here--Lopez and I are up--Sushi upstairs ---I think we had frost last night-- The good news is, next week is supposed to be much warmer--

So, as usual, the wash machine has done it's job--was chugging away and now waiting for me to unload it, and get  the clothes into the dryer-Gone are the days of the clothes-line----

I hope to-day that I can appreciate the many things that make my life so valuable--like-- going out with Dave for breakfast--LOL---Gil coming to help me with the yard--(LOL)--my wee  house here--The list can go on and on--and even tho Fred is not here, he was here for many years and we were extremely happy--memories keep me going-

And that reminds me---"Words I wish I had written--"

                        #1.If someone can do it-you can do it-

                        #2.Look at old problems in a new light

                        #3.You don't have to be a comedian to be funny

                         # 4.Life can be a series of adventures

                and---Blasts from the past--  Memories

These 2 children are now in high school--but, just look at how sweet they were at this age-Ethan and Andy-----Son#4's 2 children-Below--                                 Here they are again-a few years older

Blow-- Miss Sophia-- now entering her first yr at Kent State in Ohio

Below--Fred--far rt.-- Phil in front of him--Little Tim in front--Allison--far left in front--We were near London  Ontario, visiting my brother  and his wife--both passed now--  Good memories!



        Above--Son#1's wife, Lisa with Charlee, their daughter'--So--Time to get off of here--get Lopez out-- move the washing to the dryer--  Never a dull moment here for sure!----so--remember-

If someone can do it-you can do it--a good education makes such a difference--and-the best revenge is-- to live long enough to be a problem to your children.  

    Everyday is a lifetime--so get off of here and enjoy to-day--

  2. Good morning, Lynda! It’s a chilly day in Ohio and rain for several days. Feels like 47! Too cold for ice cream so I am having a Lavender iced latte. Yum! Enjoy your breakfast with Dave. I know you will. Love your pics today. I know Ethan helps you which is nice. Sweet Sophia will be at Kent which will be close to home so I know Allison will be glad. Have a fabulous Friday! Hugs!

  4. It's Kathy. It's cloudy here today, and rainy. We had sprinkles this morning and more rain coming by evening. I guess we need it. They say it will really warm up over the weekend. I just wonder what happened to Spring - it seems we go from winter to summer these days! My son is here. He had a conference to attend yesterday so he stayed overnight with us. It's very different having another person in the house - my little Daisy isn't sure what she should be doing! Have a wonderful day and thanks for sharing your memorie4s with us!

  5. Hi Lynda, nice way to start off the day to have brunch with Dave. A bonus to meet up again on Sunday. Great to have someone to chat with, right? It's a 3 day weekend here in the US for Memorial Day to recognize those who lost their lives in serving the Country. Too many people forget what it's about and only think of Memorial Day sales. It's overcast and gray this morning, but the sun will be out in the afternoon. Enjoy your day. Your grandchildren all have such sweet smiles.

  6. Have a great weekend, Lynda! I'll be buying fixings for Memorial Day weekend, just for me, LOL. Hotdogs, potato salad, baked beans, fruit, maybe a pie for dessert, and maybe ice cream! Life's short, celebrate anytime there's an occasion to, I always say! :)

    And, to everybody else, Have a great Memorial Day weekend! Party on! ;)
