This week has been difficult. We had to put our 19-year-old cat down. Hunter had lost the use of his hind legs and I couldn’t bear to see him struggle. He’d had a good life and we will miss him. On the day of his demise, I had coffee with a friend. It was an […]
This week was the usual Ho-Hum. I managed 3 consecutive 10kms walks – Thurs. Fri. & Sat. The weather was sunny and lovely. Some people were wearing just shorts & T-shirts – c’mon it never got above 7ºC. I don’t count this as summer. Still I love that there are people, out there who defy
It’s been a week of events. Some weeks nothing happens and other weeks everything happens. My apologies for listing: 1. Last Sunday I was invited to do a presentation at a knitting guild meeting. It was wonderful. We were a small group, but a dedicated one. Everyone present was lovely and I couldn’t have spent
I’m a little late posting my week of Joy for October 22 – 28. This will always be a difficult week for me. My husband passed two years ago on October 26. Through my grief, though, I did find the Joy that was out there. My youngest went in the poring rain on the day
If you have been following my camino posts, you know that I have booked my flight from Toronto to Porto. This is exciting!! I am now working out my route to Santiago. I was just going to do Tui to Santiago – 100kms, when a woman in one of the forums suggested that I do
This year, we celebrated Thanksgiving on the day – Monday, October 9. We do the whole nine yards – roast turkey with stuffing, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, two veg., pumpkin pie. We start with bubbly for the toast and have other wine with dinner. Our friend of many years comes and brings lots of festive
OK, it’s only 2 kms more than what I have been doing every Saturday since the beginning of September, but it was amazing….because… I walked these 12 kms on a Thursday morning. I usually walk 10 kms every Saturday, but I decided to up the ante and do an extra walk mid-week – partly because
Yes, I do like to eat and I have three meals a day – organized eating. Since I rarely go out in the evening, I meet friends for lunch. Wednesday I met a friend at a Chinese restaurant for a lovely set menu of rice, a spring roll and stir-fried chicken with vegetables. My friend
I know – a contradiction in terms. However, it does rule out the dreaded “C.” I have a family history of colon Cancer and I had symptoms. It took five years to finally reach the point of an internal investigation. I prepared for the worst. I was spared!! I will now celebrate! 1. Well, on
Most of this week the weather has been hot and humid, a little unusual for September, but it does happen. I haven’t had to put on the Air Conditioning (A/C) for most of the Summer. What a Joy and a saving of energy, money and the environment!! However, this week was too hot and too
