Good Morning and Welcome to Saturday the 24th day of February, 2018.
The sun is shining brightly and the sky is a beautiful blue.
Smoke from neighbours chimney signifies that it is still winter and the snow resting on the garage roof tops.
All this I see from my office window.
A birdie flew by …. ah.
The house is quiet without my Alvin.
He is visiting at his sister’s home since Thursday night arriving back home tomorrow morning.
I miss the little guy.
I think that I tossed and turned more than I slept …. too used to have Alvin snuggling next to me.

Some of the gals that I work with had purchased a LOTTO MAX TICKET for last night’s draw.
The draw was for $60 MILLION DOLLARS.
We did not win.
The lucky ticket was purchased in one of our ATLANTIC provinces.
Great to see them win for a change.
I cannot imagine what it would be like to have no thoughts about money.
Imagine having $15 MILLION as that would have been my share.
No mortgage, retirement sooner,than later, and so much more.
It would be wonderful to have access to that kind of money.
If you wanted to donate a large sum to charity – you could.
If you wanted to hop on a plane and go visit family and friends – you could.
If you wanted to hire a professional painter to paint your entire house – you could.
If you wanted to spoil yourself – you could.
If you wanted to pay for someone’s education – you could.
If you wanted to help your siblings and children to retire and make life changes – you could.
If you wanted to help a friend pay off their mortgage – you could.
If you wanted to buy a house for someone that would likely never have that opportunity – you could.
The dream will keep running.
Not giving up.
What would you do with $15 MILLION DOLLARS?

I guess it is time to go and have breakfast, make coffee, empty the dishwasher, tidy up the house and prepare for finishing up canvassing for the HEART AND STROKE FUND.
Followed by dinner and a movie.
Night out with the girls.
I usually stay at home, so this is a nice treat.
Happy Saturday everyone.
Special Hello to: all those folks who are celebrating birthdays today and this month. It has been a busy birthday month.
Always, Carol & Alvin
