Good Morning and Welcome to Sunday the 12th day of June, 2016.
It has been overcast and raining off and on this morning.
There have been slight moments of brightness appearing out of small cracks in the deep blue clouds, sun I presume.
It was cool in the house when we first got up this morning.
But no need to turn on the furnace at this time of year.
I just returned a bit ago from cleaning up part of the neighbourhood.
A particular walkway to the 62nd Avenue.
One side is our residential neighbourhood and the other is a very main street and on the other side a bunch of fast few restaurants and a strip mall.
So quite often meaning all of the time there are a vast array of cups and fast food wrappers from Starbucks, McDonalds, Dairy Queen and Boston Pizza.
I have asked for a garbage barrel to be placed there but to no avail.
I guess as long as someone like me will pick up the garbage why would you pay for a barrel, bags and someone to empty them.
Oh well.
I do not mind ….. I am helping out my friends and neighbours.
The only one that truly minds is Mr. Alvin as I have to leave him at home and he does not like that.
He likes me to be at home on the weekends.
I cannot blame him.
Well I guess time to go and enjoy my coffee while it is warm.
The first cup earlier I only drank a bit of it as I wanted to get out before the rain arrived.
Funny thing it rained a bit when I left the house and started to come down a bit harder on my way home.
Just gave me the perfect time to get it done.
YAY.
My neighbours that have been here since I moved to Edmonton are moving out tomorrow into a brand new house that they had built.
Not too far away so I think we will see each other but likely not quite as often, I suspect.
I am looking forward to meeting and getting to know the new people.
I shall miss my neighbours.
“S” was here alone when I moved in and two years later got married.
Nothing last forever and change is a learning process or at least that is what I keep telling myself.
Mr. Elton is coming over at 3:00 p.m. to spend a few hours with his Grandma and Alvin.
We look forward to spending time with him.
Did I mention that my irises are blooming?
The most perfect purple.
Well time to sign off.
I wish you an awesome Sunday.
Thank you for reading.
Special Hello to: “M” longtime friend ……
Always, Carol and Alvin
