Believe you are smart, beautiful, and strong-

Good Morning--To-day is Saturday, October the 10th-VERY DARK outside--and my phone is telling me  the temperature outside  right now, here in Elliot Lake, is  only 2 degrees. Lord love a Duck! --I have the wee gas furnace on. Lopez is asleep on  his leather chair--the wash needs to be turned on--and-- I can hardly wait to grab a wee nap on my sofa.
--Below, a very old photo--sent from Allison, of me, holding Jacob, her son, with Hannah, Son#2's daughter--many many moons ago--2010


So---Words I wish 1had written--

#1.Wise people know how to keep money.
                       #2.Never sleep apart from your spouse unless you have to.
#3.Thank your lucky stars.
                #4.Do not look forward to the day when you can stop suffering, cause then you will be dead
#5. Learning has no limit.

and --Blasts from the past

and below--"Big Beau"

Son#2's dog--Gerrard--with a cushion to match


Son #2s--- 2 Daughters
SON #4--looking way  up
oh no----another busy  dock below

above--a lot of cousins on someone's birthday
I see that the sun is up--time to move the washing, to the dryer
Time for you to get on with  your day-- 
Here in Canada we have a Thanksgiving weekend beginning--We are going to a restaurant to celebrate this event--Gramma's treat--I hope that you all have a great holiday weekend-- remember that everyday is going to be a new experience-- Take a few moments to meditate--  Hug your children and remind them how special they are--Love them to the moon and back--as well as your pets--and of course your spouse--and--Happy Thanksgiving to you all--and--oh my goodness---  BIG HUGS TO YOU----

    Happy Thanksgiving weekend, Lynda! Enjoy the celebration! Eat ice cream! It’s our anniversary today. Married at Niagra Falls on the US side and stayed on the Canadian side which is more beautiful. All the sweet cousins and sweet Beau and Gerard. It is 54 in Ohio but will warm up later and lots of rain tomorrow. I better get ready. We are going shopping and out to eat. Have a lovely day and big hugs for you!

    Good morning, sis!

    I am late commenting cuz I've been busy with business related stuff and ordering online from Walmart. Have you ever ordered from them? They will deliver or you can pick-up. They have also mailed me items that they didn't have in my closest store.

    Have to take 'Becca for her meds when I pick up my stuff. I also hope to get some clothes and a blanket washed today.

    There always seems be something to do.

    I also see a bunch of ladybugs on my window sill...They have succumbed to my Shell No Pest Strip. Poor things. I don't know where the opening is that let them in.

    I haven't even eaten breakfast or chosen what to wear today...I'm still in my robe! Lucky is fed, though. I'd better get to it my friend with the wonderful family (the kid with the birthday is probably the one holding the bunch of balloons and I do see a dog on the dock today...not to mention the magnificent Beau!) Oh, and money is a resource to be used not hoarded. That's my opinion. {{{HUGS}}} Love, Maggie

    Good Morning Lynda,
    Happy Thanksgiving weekend. Oh, that's nice you and your family will be getting together for dinner.
    It's cool and overcast here with rain coming later today. We don't have anything planned for today, just running some errands. There are a lot of great events this weekend in the area but most are outside so we will take a pass with the rain coming.
    Love all the pics of your family. That picture of Gerrard with the pillow .
    picture of himself is too cute!

    Have an awesome day!
    Hugs,
    Jackie

    Happy Thanksgiving weekend, Lynda. Here in the US we celebrate it next month. It will be nice to have all the family together to celebrate. I think it's probably Ethan's 13 birthday. Love the photo of big Beau. Enjoy your day.

    It's Kathy. Happy Thanksgiving weekend to you and your family. I like that it's in October, before the snow starts falling. In your Words above, #4 is my favorite - and so true! Something to think about. We have having a rebirth of summer - might get to 90 degrees today. I just took Daisy out for the 2nd time this morning and I sure didn't need the sweatshirt! I hope to get outside and pull some weeds. Can't cut back my perennials yet because we still haven't had a first frost! Can't remember that ever happening in my. lifetime! Love the photos - and that first meme, my youngest daughter when she was in high school, used to say something like that!

    Happy Thanksgiving, Lynda! Try to get a picture of everyone if you can, so we can see all those grown-up kids now. We still have to wait until November 26 for ours. Then I will get to see my dwindling family!
