Good Morning and Welcome to Friday the 17th day of March, 2017.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day Everyone …..
Today is the 60th Birthday of my dear friend “TW” back in Regina.
Wishing you the best day and all things wonderful for this year and all the years to come.
**************************************************
YAY, it is Friday.
Yesterday with this change in weather again ….. more ice.
So yesterday morning I left the house a few minutes early so that I could take my time walking to the bus stop.
I found that the sidewalks were too icy as I almost wiped out just across the street from my house so I walked on the streets where I could.
On the walkway I had to walk on the border to the sidewalk which in summer is grass and in winter is SNOW.
Thank goodness it was only about 8 inches deep but I still managed to get snow in my boots and my pants were wet on the bottom when the boots came off at work.
ARGH.
Oh, the best part.
After most carefully walking and managing to remain upright ….. just as I was approaching the street the BUS whizzed past.
Of course, he did not see me.
Of course not.
Really, I thought.
I was almost there.
ARGH.
So I thought what is the point in getting upset so I just patiently waited for the next one to arrive knowing that I would not be late for work.
I catch the bus that I do, so that I have extra time (you never know).
After a waiting for about ten minutes a silver SUV came around the corner and stopped at the bus stop.
Now it was kind of dark so could not see inside until she turned down window and I saw my neighbour ….. so ended up getting a ride to work and being almost 1/2 hour earlier than usual.
So it worked out.
This morning I called my neighbour to see if I could catch a ride with her so that I do not have to go through that again knowing it is even more icy today than yesterday.
Luck of the IRISH, methinks.
I found a SHAMROCK charm and placed it on a silver chain that I have ……. along with a green and silver necklace and green sweater I am all set for St. Paddy’s Day.
I think that Mr. Alvin is feeling bad that he does not have anything green to wear.
Maybe tonight I can find something for him……
Guess I will have to buy him a green sweater for next year.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day to my IRISH Family and Friends all over the world.
Special Hello to: my friend T. W. ….. today is your birthday …… WOW, what a great day to celebrate.
Always, Carol & Alvin
