Today is Saturday, July 15, 2017 and it is the 26th day until my 60th Birthday.
I will say that it is a bit difficult putting a year to certain events.
Now were are at:
1988: Just a good year with my girl.
1989: Beginning of year a long term relationship ended which brought on a year of getting my life back in order.
1990: We both went to Calgary with friends and had a great visit with my brother and his family. Went to Banff and Heritage Park … so beautiful.
1991: Went to Montana with friends and had one of the best vacations ever …. this was an adult only trip. The weather was great.
1992: In the summer of this year we had a great visit with my Mom and all siblings and children in Alberta.
1993: This year was filled with incredible highs and lows; births and the passing of family members.
1994: Visited New York City while in area on business. What an incredible city. One of my fondest memories was to the World Trade Centre. So grateful for that memory.
1995: Joined the computer project which would take me away from my regular job until 1998.
1996: Lots of overtime during this time not much time for anything extra.
1997: Continuing with the overtime but the extra money allowed some flexibility and we even bought a new television set, a bigger one.
Oh, how I wished that I had all of my journals summarized and in front of me at this time. My life has been filled with so many amazing people, places and things. Often times things run all together and the years seem like yesterday. So much I have missed. During this decade I travelled through work to Calgary, Vancouver (visited Victoria while in Vancouver), Toronto (visited Niagara Falls while in Toronto), Winston Salem, North Carolina and of course New York City. Each of these trips held a special memory.
My daughter attended the Bon Jovi Concert in Saskatoon in 1993. We increased our family by two nephews and a niece. I
I was thinking the other day that wouldn’t it be great to keep a journal from say your earlier adult years, and just summarize each year on December 31st, 2017. It would be something that you could hand down to each generation. What a treasure. I am hoping that my blog will also give my daughter some extra information and an on-line journal as such about her Momma and her life.
Always, Carol
