Survive now, Cry later!

 Good Morning-- on Tuesday, June 2nd--
We have sun--cool temperatures--but--the best part is--We are alive-
I just walked Lopez around the block--good wee fellow--He did  his business---and--there are black flies -I have bites on the back of my neck  --The joys of living in the North!
I heard from Son#2 last night--  He flew out to Vancouver--where he still is--He sent a couple of pictures--The first is his WonTon soup--  as he says, "Dad's favourite soup"--The 2nd is his plane , getting ready for his flight -


 
And below--Words of Wisdom
#1. You can be strict and loving at the same time.
#2. Pack light-Always keep your word-
#3.When you're angry, take a 30 minute walk.
#4. Barking dogs seldom bite.

and--Blasts from the Past--

Another Birthday for Fred, below

Time to get off of the computer--  get on with the day--I hope that you are happy-Make getting older interesting-- and apologize immediately when you lose your temper----and-----remember, laugh and the world laughs with you, cry and you cry alone-so much to think about isn't there--?---Best get offa here and get on with your day--Have a good day!

  2. Morning Lynda,
    Happy Tuesday!
    We also have sun and temperatures are starting to rise to the high 70's F today. Even warmer tomorrow and through the rest of the week.
    I bet Lopez enjoys his walks. He is a cutie!
    All the pictures are fun. The boot one is funny, I can relate to that in the winter, ours looks like that. Also, the mermaids are cute.

    Have a terrific day!
    Hugs,
    Jackie

  4. Good morning Lynda, wonderful family photos as always. That pumpkin that Allisons kids are carving is humungous. In the photos with all the boots and shoes, I saw a poodle on the left hand side of the photo. Who did that belong too? I don't remember you ever mentioning that you and Fred had a poodle. Sorry about the blackflies. Maybe wear a scarf around your neck and a mask over your mouth so you don't swallow any more flies.

  5. Hi Lynda
    Gorgeous weather in St.Louis. Sun, light breeze and high will be low 80s

    The black flies sound miserable. Sorry you got bit. At least you don't need your full bug suit.
    I always enjoy the words of wisdom.
    The boot and the mermaid pictures are funny.
    Enjoy your day.
    Im at the gym. Time to get moving.

  6. Happy Tuesday, Lynda! It is high 73 and sunny in Ohio. I have yard work this evening. The soup looks good. Fred loved his Chinese food. Lovely pic of the plane. Sorry about them flies! Gosh, I remember them at the lake and your suit. We have white flower petals blowing off the trees for days now. Better than flies for sure! I hope you have a wonderful day! Hugs!

  7. It's Kathy. We are having a very nice day today - lots of sun and not too hot. I hope to get out in the yard for awhile this afternoon. It seems like there is always more work to be done than time to do it! One day at a time! Love the photos, especially all the boots by the door. It's been a long time since I've had that in my home! I do miss spending time with the grandchildren but most live too far away from us! Hope it's a good day for you!
