3 Day Rule

I've been a little homesick this week. That doesn't happen very often but when it does, I allow myself three days of feeling miserable and that really seems to help. I learned the "3 day rule" from my best friend Marie.

Three days are up... I'm feeling SO much better!

Beautiful Boy

This beautiful baby boy, Kadance Nicholas belongs to JR and Doshia... JR is my baby boy. I write notes to Kadance in a notebook that I will give to him one day. I have not seen Kadance since January and he will be one year old when I see him again so when I received this photo online I was SO very happy! I wish I could have a photo of Kadance everyday. I love you to the moon Kadance! Nanna

Time to say Goodbye

Saying goodbye at the airport is never easy. I had to say goodbye to Geraldine and Shyanne today. Peter and I are really going to miss them. We had such a good time while they visited. They were ready to be back in warm weather but they've gone home happy and full of fun experiences. We tried really hard to make their trip memorable and I think we succeeded. We came home to notes they left for us which were special thank yous.

Would You Stop?

A few weeks ago on my way home from work there was a man stranded by the roadside. He was having car trouble... he wasn't in a car... it was a jeep or something... didn't pay too much attention to the actual vehicle but did pay attention to the fact that he was having trouble.

I passed him by but looked in my review mirror and that voice inside my head said "turn around and make sure he's ok." So, I listened to my voice and turned at the next u-turn place and drove back... I locked my doors and rolled down the window enough to ask if he needed help. I knew I couldn't get out and change a flat tyre... well, I knew I WOULDN'T get out and change a flat tyre, whether I could or not is not important.

He said he was fine, his friend was coming to help him. I was very thankful that he was ok and help was coming. I'm so glad I turned around to make sure he was ok. I hope if I'm ever in that situation someone would stop to help me.

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to my Mom and all the Moms I know... and the special Mom to be that I know!!! I hope your day is special. My day will be special as I am spending the day with my American girlfriend. We will probably start out at Starbucks and then make our way to TGIFridays for lunch. It's become tradition now as we've been doing it for years. Some years other friends join us, some years it's just the two of us... it's always a great day. I will hear from my Sons... I usually do. Sons, I love you and I hope you are spoiling the lady in your lives.

It Has a Mind of It's Own!

Uhggg! If you know me, you know I HATE going to the grocery store. I really hate it when I grab a trolley that wants to go in a different direction than I'm going. It is so annoying especially for me because I hate grocery shopping at the best of times!

I decided I'm making pumpkin soup for dinner tonight (it's not even my night to cook) and I didn't have all the ingredients I needed so I had to get a trolley because I can't carry all the groceries, my purse and my Starbucks coffee too!

Well, I'm home now and dinner is going to be yummy! I hope Husband that I Love appreciates my effort!

Colouring Eggs

One of my favourite things about Easter is colouring eggs on Good Friday with our friends the Joyces. The children are teenagers now and they still love to colour eggs. This year we will all actually be going away together and we can't leave before we've done the colouring egg and egg hunt thing! I love it! SJ got up early this morning to drive to the Vic Market to go buy white eggs because you can't find white eggs in the grocery store here. I'm really looking forward to our egg colouring on Good Friday morning... its become tradition. I hope there's an Easter tradition at your house! Happy Easter!
