Heather - I was happy to read you were feeling better today. It sure messed us up when we don’t feel well. Great photo of your son. Terri - I love your poem. Lisa - I’m surprised at some of the traits I have that are ADHD traits. Never being late is a thing for me too. Rebecca - I’m enjoying reading your enthusiasm for…

Heather - I hope you feel better soon. It’s been a rainy weekend here this weekend. It’s been an odd summer actually. More rain than the last few. Annie - I’ve been doing a research study for three years now to give help on researching Alzheimer’s. I would assume if they saw something they would reach out. I can’t believe…

Lisa - I have learned to relax too well over the last couple of years. I need to get more active. Rebecca - 😂😂😂 I tried to put foundation on the other day and ended up washing it all off before leaving the house. They just changed the law here in Canada regarding seniors being licensed.I agree with it. My second Mom Linda…

Heather - I am missing country life the older I get. As a young get person I wanted to be in town so the girls could attend things after school. Growing up I was never allowed because I would miss the bus home. It’s sounds like you’ll have great excursions. I had never thought of it that’s way. Private schools weren’t a…

Heather - I’m curious why you downplayed academic excellence as a parent? Your Grands have done a great job! I haven’t thought of “Georgia on my Mind” in years. I must listen to it now. That gathering looks fun. Lisa - I went home to NB in July 2016. I had forgotten how humid it could get there after all of these years of…

Machka - I don’t do so well on ferries either. Barbara - I bet you’ll be wonderful at teaching. Allie - I don’t know how Tracy puts up with it all. It must hurt you terribly having to witness your daughter’s life. Lisa - I don’t know how I would give up my craft area. It really is my sanity. Margaret - the fires are…

Lisa - there is so much to consider when moving into a RV. I think I would be more inclined to be like Pip and Kirby. Just go camping frequently but still have my home. I can’t imagine going smaller than what we have.I love car conversations so much can be said and accomplished. Heather - we spent too much for two days,…

Heather - I’m finding a lot of what I’m looking for isn’t available in local stores so end up ordering from Amazon more that I like. We have a big shop local movement happening here. I wish the local pricing was better. Lisa - it sounds like a perfect morning at your house.It was at mine too. I slept in and was only up for…

Temps - the last few years we’ve had a lot of +30c days. In the Winter we’ve seemed to have less -30 days. Heather - I hope your friend had a great day! I told Rodger who they were going to see and he thought a couple of them had passed. Lisa - You’re welcome. Those triangles have come in handy a few times for us. I was…

Machka - CBD is a product of a plant that’s legal here now. It’s perfectly natural and really helps. It was sold here long before it became legal. I looked it up for Australia and it can be prescribed there. Barbara - Prayers for your nephew and his wife. Mo - how old is your son? Isn’t an internship to mentor the intern…

Coffee with the residents today went well. The treats were a huge hit. I bought a variety, 6 Cherry tarts, 6 lemon tarts, 6 Apple streusel and mini cinnamon buns. I told them I decided to give them dessert before lunch because that’s what my grandfather always did. I told them about the town I am from in NB and the story…

Heather - what a wonderful date! You look so pretty and happy. Very posh indeed. I like your analogy of chrysalis and a butterfly. Mo - You have gotten used to being alone. I understand why he would startle you. Noises for sleeping - when we were first married living in one of the Toronto suburbs I would leave a radio in…

Kylia - I’m so happy that you took the long weekend. Most small businesses around here close on holiday weekends.I’m glad you didn’t work and enjoyed your time. Barbie - you’re quite right I do enjoy cable quite a lot. I enjoy all of the musical talent contests, award shows and concerts especially. I have worked on getting…

Kelly - I’m excited for you that you’ll have your family closer, but a few months with 5 people moving in will be a lot. I’m sure you’ll handle it all very well though. Lisa - Yes you’re right. I actually lost weight when I quit smoking because I was so fearful of gaining. I just need to get consistent again. I know I can…

Terri - beautiful poem. Annie - it was probably West Edmonton Mall. It’s about 1/2 an hour from me. I haven’t been there in years. Our eldest daughter was married on the boat that’s there. The airport is about 5 minutes from me. Barbie - We haven’t made the move to get rid of cable yet. One reason is because of live events…

Machka - I like the 2L bottle metaphor. It makes sense. You’re doing a great job. Annie - According to my map, I am approximately 4 hours from Cold Lake.We do see the CF-18’s as they take off when they’ve been in the area where I am occasionally, they shake the whole house. The grands and I went to an air show a couple of…

I’ve read through today as I had the opportunity but didn’t really take any notes. Barbie - thank you for another new month! I depend on you women so much. I worked for an hour this morning, then went to pick Michaela up. This afternoon, her and I went with our neighbour and her little guy to the rec centre for two hours…

Debbie - I hope your DH can begin the healing process now. Hugs to both of you. Machka - Beautiful sunset. Heather - Max has a good attitude. I admire Edie for continuing her activities even without awards. That is a good quality to have. I’m more like Max, I don’t like competitive sports or sports at all really. Lisa -…

I went to Kaitlyn’s today and had a nice visit. She had texted me last night asking me to bring her Father’s sander with me. She stated she was putting me to work. Below is the link to her Instagram- Truesmiles. She has a story about her sailboat repair. That girl amazes me. It’s the one with two daisies with a sailboat in…

Tina - we do a lot ourselves because of the handyman shortage.Our dad spent our whole childhood doing handyman work after work except for Thursday evenings and Sunday’s although Sunday’s he did it for his siblings, nieces or nephews, and elderly relatives. He never asked for anywhere near what he was worth and a lot of…

Kylia - my eldest was diagnosed with ADHD in ‘22. I have learned from her that I sure have a lot of the signs of it. She tells me I’ve created tremendous coping skills over the years. She is sure her father has it worse than me but he of course won’t even discuss it. Your property is beautiful. Lisa - the former owner of…

Machka - I so want to do that glass skywalk. My DH refused to do it with me. He is not up to heights. I just read my first Karin Slaughter it was her first book published again for its 20th anniversary. I don’t know if I’ll read another of hers. I can’t remember the title of the first Sandra Brown book I read but it was…

My Facebook post today. Some of you have seen it.

Kim - I’m sorry your Mom continues to take advantage of you. I hope you are able to find assistance for her in other ways. I don’t know how you have been able to keep your food budget so low. From what I’ve seen on here our prices are comparable. Machka - I used to collect pinwheel crystal. It all started when I was 16 and…
