Being old doesn't seem so old now that I'm old.

Good morning--It is  Monday, October 26th--Election day in Canada--I voted last night however , online--Son#3 helped me do that-- Now we just need to wait for the results--Of course, it is still quite dark this morning-- Lopez and I are up--as is Sushi--because I changed the bed--disturbed her sleep--so all that  bedding is chugging away in the washer--and the dryer--"Bed changing" days are busy days--

                                Words I wish I had written--

                                #1.Stop trying to do it all.

                                #2.Make the best of your situation.

                                #3.Find love within yourself.

                                #4.The dinner table is a great place to learn.

                                #5. To avoid risks stay in bed.

                                    Blasts from the past--

Son#2, Allison and Fred
       Below--  the whole family and 4 older relatives


                        a few mermaids  and their brothers                

        Above--Grandchildren---who are cousins--they look alike

Above-- Andrew, Phil, Cousin Karen, Me-Fred, and Tim
   Daylight now outside-- Time to get Lopez out--Time to get on with our day--
Oh-----and hug your children- talk to your pets--and make to-day the best  day  ever!--Be -strong-----Oh--and big hugs to you all--

  5. It's Kathy. I am doing my best to adhere to #1 - Stop trying to do it all. I have an acupuncture appointment this morning and my dear husband just offered to drive me. It's raining and he knows I don't like driving in the rain. He has been so helpful lately! I really appreciate it. So that's my big thing for today - once I'm home I can relax! Have a great day and thanks for all the smiling faces and the mermaids!

  6. Good morning, sis. I will make today a great day!

    Kinda overcast here today and only 41F. Colder!

    Love the blasts! Yes, the cousins (and your sons) definitely do resemble each other!

    Your wise words: "don't try to do it all." I often do that. I leave some chores for the next day but the next day I have to add more to the list.

    Does Sushi 'help' you make your bed? Cats really do show an interest in that. It can take 3 times longer to change a bed if your cat is 'helping.' I need to shut mine out of the room 'til I'm done. He sings the song of his people on the other side of the door the whole while I am doing it.

    We vote November 3, but I did it already, too. And we have daylight savings time starting this coming Sunday. We 'fall back' so we get an extra hour of sleep.

    Better get to today's list, Lynda. I'll be back later. Last night I didn't add anything...just checked comments. I see you looked for me to add something, too. I will let you know how my day went...{{{HUGS}}} Love, Maggie

  7. Hi Lynda, changing the sheets on a large bed can be challenging, that's for sure. Now that it's behind you, you can relax a bit and enjoy the day ahead. You've had your elections and we will have ours next Tuesday, but I've already voted and have been praying about the outcome. We need a BIG change in the United States, most will agree to that.

  8. Hi, Lynda. Yeah, I already voted absentee, but did get an odd email or text that seemed to indicate that they still didn't have my ballot. Oh well, I put it in the big condo mailbox in the outgoing slot, I have no control over that.

    It's another bright, sunny day here going to be in the 70's all week, can't complain. NOT looking forward to the time change, though. I HATE the long, dark nights! Come November, Ohio tends to start getting very dreary with little sun. Little sun brings on my Seasonal Affective Disorder, unless I am at work. At work, we have no windows, so I don't know what it's like out there, LOL

    Have a good one. I will be heading to the Y soon to do my water aerobics!
