Hi everyone. I left a post earlier today and it was there and now it isn't. Not sure what happened to it. So for now I am just saying Hi and letting you know that we are ok in Saskatchewan. While the fires have moved into Saskatchewan they are a long way from us. We have had smoke in the air some days but we are ok. Thanks…

Hi to everyone from Saskatchewan where we are well into Spring. We have been very busy the past few months but so excited to welcome new little people into our family. In March Gregg and Sasha gave birth to Clara Briar. Three days ago, Quinn and Margaret gave birth to Emberlene Mabel. Both little girls have lots of black…

Here I am two days in a row! I didn't update you on my back issues, still there and range from annoying to very sore. I had physiotherapy today so it is very sore tonight. I had X-Rays done and apparently it shows that I have something called DISH which involves arthritis and other issues. It won't get better but hoping to…

Hi to all my friends! Those I don't know are friends I haven't met yet. Time seems to fly by, can't believe it is three months since I last visited. I do think of you often and hope you are doing well! We had a busy summer. We spent a lot of time sailing this summer. The weather was great which is always a plus. The family…

Hi to everyone. Most of the smoke from the northern forest fires has gone. i did get out for a walk today and didn't need antihistamines so liked that. Marie -- I will try to post a picture of Owen but I no longer remember the instructions that Sandy gave me a very long time ago. See what I can do. He is growing so fast,…

Happy Canada Day, eh! We have been having so much smoke here that I haven't been out for my walk for a few days although we did drive to the mall and I did some walking there. It does seem to decrease the pain so I will keep at it. Phoebe -- be careful with that leg. You might need to get it checked out to be sure there…

Not sure what happened to my long winded post! Sorry, you are all in my thoughts. If I can recover it I will repost it. Take care, Gayla.

Hi to you all from very hot and dry Saskatchewan! It seems no matter how much we water our lawns stay dry. I call the lawn my straw.

Happy Birthday to Buzz! Hope you had an amazing day. From Gayla and Dave. Also thanks to Marie for the note and the birthday reminder. I will try to go back and check on everyone but just in case I get lost I will say Hi to you all. I do think of so many of you and hope life is being good to you. We are plugging along here…

Hi to everyone. I have tried to catch up on your news but I have missed so much over the past few months. I feel like a stranger in my own home! So nice to see new names as well as the familiar. It makes me realize I should introduce myself a little. While not a daily visitor I do love these folks a lot and miss hearing…

Hi to everyone from sunny Saskatchewan. The trees are budding out so soon it will be lovely and green. In a couple of weeks I will put my little garden in. Spending 2 weeks in Mexico shortened the winter and that was also helped by very mild weather. No complaints here. After 3 months of coughing and nose running I am…

Hi to all from sunny Saskatchewan! Just in time to say good night once again. I am still dealing with bronchitis and hoping it clears up soon. I hate hearing my chest rattle with every breath. Enough. Said about that. . . for today. The saga will continue. Tomorrow Neil has a Dr. Appt for his physical. Dave is going to…

Just popping in to say goodnight. Still feeling awful. So many new folks here! Welcome to all. You likely think I am a new person but I have been around for a long time. Sometimes life gets in the way and posting suffers, for me. Just to let you know a bit about me. I am a retired nurse. I see retirement as a wonderful…

Hi to everyone from sunny Saskatchewan. Water is running in the streets from all the melting. Tomorrow the weather is supposed to be more seasonal so we will be slip sliding around. I went to my Dr today and I have bronchitis which was not a surprise. I am feeling pretty much awful! Whine, whine. I am hoping to start…

Hi to each of you from sunny Saskatchewan. Once again I am apologizing for not being around. Our sweet Owen has been so sick with strep throat and pink eye. Dave and I have been looking after him during the day so his parents could go to work. It was hard to see him so uncomfortable. We did get lots of cuddles and now his…

Lin, you have been in my thoughts throughout the day. Take time for a cup of tea. Hugs are being sent to you. Take care. Gayla

Hi to everyone from sunny Saskatchewan. Once again I am so far behind that it will take some time to catch up on your lives. I have to set aside a time to pop in daily. For those who are struggling with health and family issues my heart reaches out to you. Life can be tough sometimes. I am glad we have this safe place to…

Hi to you all from snowy Saskatchewan! Wishing each of you a wonderful 2015! We brought in the new year at our son and dil's. It was a lot of fun. I found a few of my lost pounds over the holidays so have to get to work on that quickly! I have a lot of reading to do to catch up on your lives! I will be back soon. Take care…

Marie -- I did take some pics for you but it was a dreary day and they didn't turn out great but I will try again. G.

Hi to everyone from sunny Saskatchewan. Sorry to have worried you, Marie. We are doing fine but life seems very busy right now. We have been test driving vehicles and it takes so much time. Fun though! We finally bought a car yesterday, a Honda Accord, 2015. I think we will really enjoy it. I got my nuts and bolts made a…

Hi from sunny Saskatchewan. This is my second try, just lost a post to you. I see I am nearly out of battery so have to be quick. I have a busy few days ahead but will be back soon. Marie -- many hugs to you and Jerry. I am so sad to read of your loss. Sammy was so well loved by you both and he returned that love to you. I…

Hi to everyone from sunny and very cold Saskatchewan. It is supposed to warm up tomorrow so I will do my best to take a picture and post it to you! No promises as I am not much of a photographer! Sandy -- so sorry for your loss. I know you were so close to Donna. I hope you will be able to celebrate her life with your…

Hi to everyone from our Winter Wonderland. It finally stopped snowing but now the temperature is dropping. Oh well, it is winter after all! I was planning to pick Neil up today but he was in a foul mood and decided not to come home. I expected him to call with a change in plans but didn't hear from him. I hope tomorrow is…

Hope everyone had a wonderful day. I am thankful for all of you. I am thankful for your unending support to everyone and for sharing your lives. Take care and keep smiling. Gayla :-)

Hi to everyone from Saskatchewan where the sun is shining and the snow is white. I have had a good several months watching my diet. My weight and cholesterol have decreased. The cholesterol is now in a normal range. However, I fell off the diet train when I was on my little holiday and am struggling to find my way back so…

Hi to you all from very white Saskatchewan. It is snowing lightly again today. I am so glad that I made a big pot of soup yesterday. I am looking forward to enjoying it for dinner, beef barley. I have tried so often to get into this group and was not able to but today it let me in! I feel like the lost finding their way…

Hi to everyone from sunny Saskatchewan. It has been warm and none of that white stuff yet! I am still doing regular physiotherapy for my hamstring injury but down to once a week now. I am coming to accept that there will always be pain there but hope to control the degree with minimal meds. My sister, a friend and I are…

Hi Marie. Stay well. Miss you. Gayla :heart::cry: :heart:

Hi everyone. We had a busy day today, both Neil and Dave to the ENT Dr. Neil's left vocal chord is still completely paralyzed and his Dr. was very impressed with his compensation. He said he has never seen anyone compensate that well for clear speech and swallowing. He also said that it will not recover after this length…

Hi everyone from chilly Saskatchewan! I should be in bed but I am not!! I am trying to get some things ready for my trip to Quebec City Wednesday (with the girls). Our flight leaves at 5:50 am, not sure what we were thinking about with that! Dave asked if I was going to bother going to bed -- I def. will and will do my…
