Make to-day a special Day--

Good Day--  Time to rise and shine--It is Thanksgiving weekend here in Canada--"Turkey Day" on Sunday, or Monday--

I am trying very hard to  to keep in mind  that I am exchanging this day in my life to use  for something important, as it says above--

You see, yesterday  was a "washout"---all our house phones stopped--and Himself is not good  using the cell phone--We live in the bush---our phone service and internet service is provided  by a tower , at the end of our road--It comes into the house here , in a tiny black box, which I found out is over 10 yrs old---will not accept the new Panasonic high tech house  phones-They cut out after 15 seconds--- I was told (after exchanging 2 sets of house phones), that--we need a new upgraded black box----But---  (always that "big Butt")--It is a Holiday weekend----  so this tiny new black box will not arrive  for a very long time---AND----- I guess it's up to me to install it--

I'm afraid that I'm not good  with all this technology--they had me crawling on the floor, unhooking this--and that--with that expression  that you see above- I really was quite screwed up---

BUT----One must look on the bright side  --- the internet is working-- the cell phone works-- I am alive---I am not ill-- I shall count my blessings-- To-day IS ANOTHER DAY---so----I shall look forward to something wonderful happening to-day---

Lord love A Duck! --- I wish you all comfort on difficult days, rainbows to follow the clouds---and--  patience to accept what you cannot change--

 

Smile, Giggle or Laugh!

This was me this morning--waiting for coffee--- It turned out  the coffee maker needed more water---It is dark outside still-- have to wait for daylight, just in case there is some wild animal lurking around--thank goodness we do not have grizzly bears here! I saw   them on TV this AM , chasing a car---How scare-y would that be?

To-day is Daycare ---  for Himself-----  They will probably do something special, being Thanksgiving weekend--I have 2 Ladies coming here about 9-30am --- to talk to me about "How To Deal With People with some form of Dementia"-----  amazing that this is happening--- wish they had of come 2 years ago- "Better late than Never"----as Mom used to say----

I found the above fellow online--thought  he was fun to look at---  and, yes, we should smile-- and yes, especially if you have your teeth  in--which some days (very few days tho!)---  you might forget your teeth--- You know, when we were young, and we went to see my Grampa and Gramma,  in Port Perry, ON., Grampa  called his   teeth--- his "high speed choppers"--- and he would take the bridge in his mouth out, and show it to us--and we were so intrigued--I always remember those "high speed choppers"---believing that  bridge he removed, was his real teeth--

Life is short--no time to be angry --or sad---- be happy----  show those "High Speed Choppers"--

Always remember that "YOU" are stronger than you seem---and smarter than you think--and braver than you believe---  

 

You're off to great places, to-day is your day!

 It's a brand new day---  Don't forget----to be-----Awesome!--Good morning to you!- here it is still dark---and I hear that a Porcupine is wandering around the neighbourhood-- --so, the 2 dogs cannot go out until daylight-- It s 7-21 am --as I type--and pitch black outside.

Son #2, the Pilot, sitting in London, England, waiting to fly that Dreamliner back to Canada this evening, sent pictures of food--AGAIN---This time it is home cooked food--from his brother-in-law---and wife, who reside there, and where he went yesterday to visit them. 

Below is fresh pumpkin soup

Chicken wings

and  garlic bread----It does all look delicious --

Yesterday  I "did groceries"----two grocery stores ----  way too many  baskets of food to lug in-- then run upstairs and downstairs -----  It was horrible---- too much work----I vowed to not  "do" such a large order ever again-----I did buy a turkey and dropped the "big bird" off at Son#3's house---  He is going to cook it--and we are invited!---

Our weather is supposed to turn very cold-- right now we have rain falling-leaves everywhere--

-To-day Himself and I will try to find time to clear the deck of furniture, getting ready for---"WINTER""_--

Our leaves are "falling"---the back road is absolutely gorgeous ---I even  booked to get the snow ties on our car, the end of October. Do you all need snow tires?---Living in the north where we are, they are so necessary--

Leaves everywhere ---and-----------to all the Canadians---

Hopefully Mr Porcupine has left the area---- and I can get big Beau out and little Lopez--- It is "Hair day" to-day---  (another trip to town)----

-I hope you all can make today a great day---

Yes, be totally awesome to-day--even if you are a tad weird--- it's more fun that way! 

 

Invest in yourself!

Did you ever think there is a wake up list??? Good thing that we are all on it!---  It is not sunny--yet---a tad cooler--but--(that big "butt")---  to-morrow it sounds like cold weather will hit us ---I know it is "time"--- but--- we have so so many leaves yet to rake--

snd--  looking better newly stained

Yesterday, the wonderful guy who helps us out when we need repairs etc-came to stain  the cedar on the house.- I had bought a gallon of stain--and he came out yesterday and stained this front wall.- He climbed up on a long ladder, which he and I had walked over to a neighbours, AND--lugged it back here---They told us we could borrow it.--It was a long  very heavy extension ladder so he could reach the top of our house--It is amazing what a coat of stain can do!---It looks fabulous now! 

And I did get the oil change earlier in the morning--took Lopez--- Lopez was extremely nervous being at the dealership--shivered and shook on my knee-----Maybe if I took him more often, he would feel better about being out in the big world---

Son#2, the Pilot, is in London, England right now---flew overnight---I suppose pictures of food--or the city, might arrive later on--as he ventures out. He is sleeping  as I type-

I saw this yesterday and  found it interesting--  It is so easy to buy something trivial---  After all--almost $30---What is that?----not much!----- so just buy it--whatever it is--- but--(there it is again!)-----AND-if I did that every day, in a year , I would've spent $10,000--ON NOTHING!------Lord love a Duck! -AND----think of what $10,000 could buy!----

Anyway, I best get moving here-----Lopez needs to go out AGAIN---  I need to buy groceries-I have a list "as long as my arm"---as Mom used to say!  And if you were thinking of buying a new T-Shirt---perhaps rethink it--SAVE THE MONEY!--LOL

Stay Strong----  Smile at that person in the mirror--you can prosper in other ways--Make your health a priority!

 

a short blog , you amazing person!

 Good morning---  I am heading to town shortly--We need an oil change in the vehicle-- 10am--I am supposed to be there-- I shall take wee Lopez with me--who, I know will bark viciously -----  I will walk him in town while they are working on the car--

We have such a lovely day beginning--sunshine and lollipops----but-- (that big "butt")--  just around the next bend in the road, I hear the "cooler" days are arriving---

This is Thanksgiving weekend, coming up, in Canada----turkey--dressing--Pumpkin pie ----definitely not a weekend to diet--and a long Holiday weekend---Hopefully I will have  more time to play the piano---  for the dogs------

Where ever you -are----make it a great day---in your part of the world---  I should return in a couple hours and will check back in--Paste-a-smile-on yer face------  sing a little--be nice to people you meet--especially "little old Ladies"-----and Pilots-----  and Policemen--- (who really are someones kids)_--Humming a tune  helps to keep one happy-

Now you will be singing the above song all day-----------------------me too!--------p

Another warm day to enjoy!

October 2nd----and it is very warm--  hot in fact-----hard to believe isn't it?---Is this a happy day for you?--It says above, that -Happiness makes people prettier--A smile is all it takes , to be prettier--

I have been out "blowing " leaves-- I think they all fell at once--over night---and there is still a lot more to come! -

Life is good--- Yesterday and to-day have been good days---Day Care tho, has been cancelled to-day for Himself--  maybe not enough in his class--maybe the lady in charge is working on the floor--- who knows? It is a "let down" for Himself however as he really does look forward to going-- It is such a great service-- He meets the other people in there and it forces him to talk to them--plus he enjoys the exercises.

I hope you all are enjoying these sunny and warm temperatures--We all know what is "on the wing"--

 We have  a few more days of wearing summer clothing, enjoy that--- -----because----- We know what is coming-----

Horrible stuff isn't it??--------

----------------- Try to be as happy, to-day,  as this little person---

I try to remember that  we are much braver than we ever believe, stronger than we think we are, smarter than we believe,  and yes, we are loved much more than we know!

 

SHE LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER

Holy Cow! It's October 1st---

The leaves are all over the place--They are beautiful!  As fast as I rake them up, more keep falling--And it is very warm--- it is such a gorgeous time of year! 

I am later than late posting--as--- Lopez had a bath---  He liked the warm water--  the 2 canines have been out-- the wash done (cheaper to do on a Sunday)---the bed changed--and the bathroom upstairs cleaned--Sadie-- (that wonderful helper!)_ was here--

Yesterday I splurged and bought new house phones. Our others were from the "dark ages" I believe.  These new ones announce the caller --- and once you put your contacts in, it automatically goes to all the other  house phones--- pretty amazing all this new technology!

Last evening I played and played the piano-- Funny--when I play the piano, both dogs fall asleep-- It must be so soothing for them---- So, you might say my audience is  my dogs---or, maybe "my life has gone to the dogs"--- Playing the piano is very relaxing--even to me!

So, yesterday afternoon, I opened the fence on the septic side of the house and blew the leaves into the gully--That gully is a life saver --It goes beside our property and wraps around the front of the house also--I was feeling very sorry for myself, so raking  was a great outlet---You know how hard work heals?------

So, to-day is Sunday-- not a sunny Sunday---but still quite warm---

Isn't that wee little girl , just the sweetest?--- and she is so knowledgable! --LOL-----

How is your day going?---- Can you make it "the best day ever"?-------not fret about anything on this Sunday--TO_DAY!!!-----

--sit somewhere --and just let the world go by---maybe with your dog-- AND----

LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER---
