"You truly are amazing!

I am heading into Peterborough this AM for blood work at a clinic--son#2 is driving me--AND I HEAR IT IS SNOWING ---  Lordy Be!---  I still have the snow tires on tho which will help--=and--I have a flu bug of some sort--coughing etc--We shall return before noon-- hope!

I just could not sleep  very well last night--knowing  I have to get out of here,  Fred's niece , who lives in New York City called last night-- which helped to pass the night-- She and her husband do not feel I should return to Elliot---  but start a new llfe here-- I just do not know, at this point---I literally do not know if I am coming or going--LOL--

I must get ready--will chat with you all after lunch--I hope that your day is good---Make your day go well--  When you travel with Son#2 , you eat well--We had a huge breakfast--- then stopped for  a fruit drink--strawberry and banana drink--after the blood work--and drove home in a snow storm---Oh--We stopped to pick up the blind that had broken---  They sent us a new blind--So a lot was accomplished--

Remember that you are smarter than you believe---You just have to "Hang in""---Your mind is great--greater than a lot of people realize---

                                          

                                      Don't allow the stupid  ones ever to "put you down'--

                                                    --- FINALLY --FINALLY----BACK ON HERE  

I HAVE BEEN SO SICK--what Fred had--high fever ----  I am waiting on the Pharmacy  to get here with an antibiotoc--  but--I FINALLY got a message from Elliot Lake Retirement Living--telling me they have nothing available to move into, but--to keep calling and perhaps something will come up---I just have to wait it out--stay here till someone in Elliot Lake moves out--

So-I FINALLY  turned on the computer--- We have sunshine outside--I hear it is snowing in Elliot-- and--I shall  stop feeling sorry for myself and read all yer comments from yesterday--Life must carry on, even when one feels ill--Maggie thank yu for getting me out of the depths of despair--

BEE Strong!

 Well I am trying to be stronger-- but---'tis kinda difficult--I need my "other half""----but--the good thing is--I AM HERE---Lord love a Duck! -  ( guess you surmised--Yesterday, I was wallowing  into-- "the depths of despair""--Who used to say that??---Was it Anne of Green Gables??-- I did think of you all--wished you all were here--so I could cry on your shoulders---SO so many tears--

So, I am trying to get back to Elliot Lake--where I belong-- It is going to take time, as I do not have an apartment--- altho a lovely Lady texted me yesterday and offered a B-and B--'till an apartment is   ready--I'd have to put all my things into storage tho--but--It is something to think about--

Son #2 is in Los Vegas----Below, he just sent the picture of the city--in the dark---said there was a lot of turbulence , en route there--a change is seasons probably cause  all that--

To-day I shall try to stop the flow of tears--One cannot cry forever--

I have changed our big bed--so, to-night , will sleep on the other side--last week I slept on Himself's side--  this week, my side--

Maybe if you all came to visit me, the tears will stop---justa idea!

Now, wouldn't that be fun?

It is Sunday and if I could stop coughing and spreading this flu bug, I'd go to Church--

Probably not a good idea !

Anyway. I AM BACK---I hope y'all do NOT pick up my flu, from reading this--I sure did miss yu all yesterday---I need you all to  tell me to STOP THE CRYING, AND GET ON WITH LIFE__--I hope your day is a great day---Could you come to Lakefield??---

I sure feel better just chatting with you this AM---

Maybe I am losing my mind!

 

It's a new day--- So far--no crying--- Maybe the tears have stopped--Maybe there are no more tears-- Lordy Be!!--- Losing a husband--my right hand  partner--is not fun!!

Anyway, his Death announcement was  in the North Shore Bulletin---and , now the "STANDARD Newspaper"-They put a very good picture of him  in there-----  I hope I do not cry  anymore as I read it---so so hard -----

To-day we have to go into Peterborough to "Service Canada"--So much paperwork when a person passes--and--I still intend to return to Elliot Lake--to spend the rest of my life--  Elliot Lake is "HOME" to me--=- I cannot leave here until I have an apartment in Elliot Lake, ready to move into--(which means ANOTHER move--)--- but , Elliot Lake is my home-and I must return---

So---- If you know anyone whose partner has died, do not leave them alone---  because all they do is cry--Just spend some time with them--  tell them they WILL get thru this (I have not yet!)- Maybe bring them a few boxes of kleenex--(ha ha)---  maybe go for a walk with them---   Yesterday I went to a 2nd hand store---and you know, one of the pictures Son#2 had taken over to them, --- well, I bought it back--  like-- "I BOUGHT MY OWN PICTURE"--- It was of Charlotte, our  old dog---- Can you believe that??--  I guess people  who have lost their partner, well it seems these people have sorta lost a bit of their mind----Oh well--Hopefully, life will resume  one day, maybe when the tears stop!

Strength----a short blog

It is noon-ish-- I had to go out this AM--so, am posting now--later than late--but--I sure am thinking of you-- Two very nice ladies came here and took me round the town--We stopped in at a  nice 2nd hand store---  I bought a picture---$10 --  a picture which used to sit in the rec room--a picture that got left in the house in Elliot--Of course it is a picture of a dog ---  and this dog looks so much like one of the first dogs we ever had--Her name was Charlotte--

It is warm here --over 70 degrees --sunny also-----So Spring has arrived!--I meant lots  people who still have no power--so, we are very lucky--At least we have heat and lights!

I need to find strength---  I shall try to have "power" over my mind---because I need to find the srength to carry on--Lord love a Duck!--I really just want to sit and cry--When does that go??----I MUST FIND THE POWER OVER MY MIND_--- 

--- Lets help each other--- to get our lives back on track-- Lordy be!!!

-a short blog--- but---- so far --No MORE TEARS--

 

Get out there and live this Day!

 

Good Morning-- WE HAVE HEAT!!!    And--THE POWER IS ON---It came on yesterday , at supper time--Whatta difference!  I did not have to sleep in bed with all my clothes on--

                                                    There is a lot of damage everywhere--

I cannot seem to enlarge the above pictures but if you look closely you can see broken limbs--

I still have to walk Lopez --all the walking trails are covered with tree limbs  so I'll stick to the road--

I turned on the news this AM., and I hear we 're in for more bad weather--rainy wet snow showers--- As long as we do not lose power I will be OK---

I continue to look for Fred--- feel at times that he is just "out" and will be back--or, I come home , and think he is in the house here--- -Strange!  --I wonder when one gets over that---

Me---- on Son #2 deck--with is dog, Gerrard--and Lopez--our wee fella--

So, How are you all?--= How is the weather in your area??--It will be nice when it warms up a lot--

Are you abe to "Keep your chin up?-""  as Dad used to say--I mean, if I can get thru all this, I think everyone can----No matter what is going on in your life,  (or my life) --we can get thru it----  It might not be easy, but---- in time, each hour gets better----and, if you see anyone without a smile. give them yours--

Remember---"Impossible" means "I'm possible,"

and---

WE ARE A PART OF THIS DAY___

I'm BACK----- Ice storm--Trees down - no Power--but--I AM BACK--

We have had a terrible ice storm here---no power---so-- I could not blog--but--The Power JUST came on--FINALLY--  FINAL:LY--WE Have HEAT__and I shall blog this evening--to-morrow--AND forever--

                                            Holy Cow--I sure missed you all-- Lynda
