This Is 57

Another 365 days around the earth!!  At least my hair is different than the past two years!  LOL

  

I was actually alone for this birthday.  Hubby is up north doing some work.  The whole family will be here next weekend so I wasn't expecting them to come this weekend.  My friend Diane came with Timmies this afternoon once she found out I was alone.  LOL  What a sweetheart!  I have had so many text messages and Facebook birthday wishes.....I didn't feel alone at all!!!  It was a wonderful day!!!!!

But what a wild past six months!!!!!!  Half a year of insanity!  Am I good?  Some days.  I have bad days too.  I have been stress eating, gaining (alot) of weight, being inactive.  I have no desire to sew.  But there are good days too.  When the grandkids come to visit with their parents. 😍 I have wonderful friends near and far!!  💕  I truly am blessed and I will get through this!

I have started walking.  I LOVE fall and it seems to inspire me to do that!  I am starting small (only 30 minutes for now) but I feel good when I do it!!!!  I put my earbuds in and get moving!  Now to concentrate on eating better.....much better!  It's easy to do all this while Hubby is away (he would not want to eat my taco salad with ground turkey) but we will make it work!  

So even though there isn't an end in sight with this Covid, I sure hope the end comes sooner rather than later...........and I will continue working on me and on having more good days than bad.  😊 (can you tell I LOVE fall!  LOL And we have had beautiful fall weather!)  

Here's to the next 365 days....praying it's better!!!!  😜

 

A Missing Month

I guess I skipped a month......one day/week/month just seems like the next!

But August brings my annual mammogram and this year I went a day beforehand and stayed with my friend Sue and her husband in their new house in Nanton.  It's so cute and cozy!!  Like us, they downsized quite a bit when they moved there from High River.  We had a FANTASTIC visit and the next morning I was off to Okotoks for the big squeeze and ultrasound.

Of course it's all about wearing masks right now......

Everything came back A-Ok!

We had our game cam set to face the front of the house because our cats were always growling and hissing at something....well it turned out to be another cat (and I haven't seen it again for awhile now) but we also discovered this visitor strolling through in the middle of the night!!!!!

That little bugger better stay away.......I believe skunks are nocturnal so hopefully it was passing through and no one (a dog!) wakes it up during the day!!

Our girls came out one Saturday and I convinced DIL Jenna to bring Jude for a visit and overnight......these two goofs......LOVE them to pieces!💗💙

And this handsome guy is growing and changing every time I see him, which is fairly often. I've even "babysat" overnight now twice!:

Alice and Archie still leave us "gifts" so Jude was the disposer of this one!!!!  (hands were immediately washed afterwards!!)

This is my most favourite picture of these two yet. 😍😍  Their Mommy sent it to me the other day:

Hubby has been up north doing some odd jobs for a few days so I have had some quiet time.  I have been visiting and shopping 😳 and visiting some more.  It's been wonderful!!!!  Before he left, another bid went in for a job and he hasn't heard about the one from a couple of weeks ago.  Two more due next week.  Fingers crossed, praying every night, that something comes along.  I know it will...it has to.  

🙏🤞

Not much to report even after not posting for a whole month!!!  I have lost my sewing/stitching mojo (AGAIN or did I ever find it????) and need something to kick start myself again.  But I am loving this wonderful fall weather and will enjoy it while it is here.  🍁🍂🌻

A wiener roast for supper tonight:
