Good Morning World.
Welcome to Sunday in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
The SUN is SHINING brightly.
I can imagine the birds singing as I sit here clacking away on the keyboard.
My trusty companion Alvin is laying on his blue blanket on the floor beside my chair.
The sky is the purest of the palest of blues that I have seen in a while.
YAY, I love Sundays.
The coffee is perking away and I am energized by the aroma as it wafts throughout the house.
Life is good.
Last night I was invited to attend a “paint night” with my young friends.
We had a hoot.
The painting is not actually painting in what we traditionally know it to be ….
but rather with this little plastic stick of sorts you pick up a bead that has a round head and flat bottom and lay it onto the picture.
It reminds me of paint by numbers but the picture is sticky and you attach beads.
The pictures are pre numbered of course and they are small beads.
All of our paintings were different views of the sunrise and sunset.
Morning, daytime and evening.
I cannot wait to finish mine.
Definitely longer than a one evening project.
I only did about a 1/4 and then stopped to just concentrate on visiting with my friends.
But so much fun.
We chattered away catching up on our our news and the world’s.
All three of us brought some goodies to share.
There was the taco dip and chips, veggie and fruit tray and dip, “energy bites,” goldfish and breton crackers, and this crazy yummy chocolate pudding with whipped cream and graham cracker
crumb dessert.
We had coffee and wine.
I am so grateful to have these gals as my friends.
We support and love each other.
They have young families so I am kind of like the Grandma or an older Aunt.
I have seen their children grow over the last almost ten years.
They were really just babies when I moved here and met them.
The laughter that emanates from the room when we are together is crazy.
I love these ladies.
Well time to head back downstairs and have some of that glorious coffee.
Just relax for a bit before changing and getting on with the day.
I have towels in the dryer to bring up and put away.
I would like to go through and put in order my papers for taxes (yup, I did not put things in good order like I was going to at the start of the year).
Go for a walk later if the temperature is okay.
Yesterday morning we hopped quickly over to the vet to pick up some food for Mr. Alvin.
He has enough for maybe a week but sometimes hard to gage and I did not want to run out part way through the week.
Mmm, what else.
Get ready for work.
I know that I had a couple of other things on my list ….. wipe out the oven.
I hope that you had an awesome Saturday night with family and or friends.
Perhaps you spent the evening watching your favourite movies cuddling with your puppy dog.
Maybe you played cards or a board game with your kids.
Whatever it was …..
Have an awesome Sunday.
Life is good.
Be kind and respectful to one another.
Always, Carol & Alvin
