You can---



Good morning-- to-day is Tuesday, the 20th of October--I have been up for a couple hours here, but busy with washing--  the dryer--Lopez--- Sushi--  Phone calls from Allison and Son#2--Incidentally, the TV--CBC-- tells me that Alberta voted to stay in Canada---- That is good! - I hear that Trump was chomping at the bit  to take over Alberta, probably because of their oil-----so much craziness  everyday--

So, I see it is daylight , finally, outside--and I am feeling better-- I have had some sort of terrible flu--coughing  all the time--and coughing up so much  thick mucous--which is getting a lot better now, after what seems like a lot of meds--antibiotics--  The whole horrible virus was in my chest, and seems a bit better  now--but I feel like I have been thru the ringer--(Mom used to say that)---So---

                                Words I wish I had written--

#1.Keep track of your life by writing in a journal--

#2.You cannot love a pet too much.

#3.Let no-one see you in a hurry.

#4.If you think you cannot, then you will not.

                                Blasts From The Past

-----------such a beautiful calm day, on the dock--

            Holy Cow --It is "me"--when my husband was alive--

                        Early morning fog over the lake--on Dunlop

Below---  Son#4 , his daughter, and Son#2

Cousins --with Charlee


I must get Lopez out-- then  a trip to town-- Always so much to do--How is your day going?--Are you "happy and you know it?"
(Mom's expression)--
Family stories keep families alive-(remember that!)--Also  remember to talk to your pets--(No-one else does)----Love your children ---tell them you love them to the moon and back----and your husband also--
Oh----  and BIG huge Hugs to you all--Now get going--

  4. Morning!
    It's going to be another sunny day here and might make it to 70F.
    I won't complain about that.
    Well, while I was out yesterday, I did get my flu shot so now that has been taken care of. My arm is a little sore but other than that, no symptoms.

    As always love the pictures!

    Have a terrific Tuesday!
    Hugs,

  5. Good morning, sis!

    We have sunshine today and the highs will be in the low 70sF! Wow.

    Love the blasts...Charlee loves French fries! The peaceful dock is beautiful a is the lake. Lopez is resting on a cool looking pillow on your sofa.

    I'm glad I don't have to tell you the news about Alberta. I got it in an email today.

    The election is coming up...we gotta vote! It's not the Presidential election yet, but governors and congress (wo)men. We get enough Democrats, that will help with toning down what he wants and make it more likely to vote him out in two more years.

    Enjoy your trip to town and have a great day. Not much going on around here. I will return later, either with more of my day or just to check comments. {{{HUGS}}} Love, Maggie

  6. It's Kathy. We are having another really nice day. It's likely going to become fall in another week or so, but for now I'm going to enjoy it. Daisy and I will attempt another walk today, maybe before lunch. I talk to Daisy all the time and she certainly lets me know what she's thinking! This morning after I finished my breakfast I got up to put my dishes in the sink and she started walking to my office. That's what I do next and she was ready. Love the photos today. You have a wonderful family! Have a good day.

  7. Hi, it's Marti. Glad you are feeling some better. It's a lovely sunny day here too, going to be 69, and sunny. I'll take it! I go to the Wellness Center this afternoon, do the NuStep and the armbike and some free weights, and then home again. Social Security enrollment in the bag, had a phone appt yesterday with them, best outcome possible for me. That's a relief. I will choose to continue working 3 days a week for a sense of purpose and some socialization, until I can't anymore, or choose not to. The extra money won't quite cover what I make at the job, but it will help some when I DO step down.
