Good Morning and Welcome to Thursday the 3rd day of November, 2016.
Lovely morning.
Only a light frost more of a mist on the cars which is a great sign.
Yesterday was beautiful and today the forecast is for +15 celsius – amazing for this time of year.
These extra blessed summer/early fall type days are so appreciated as they just make our winter shorter.
YAY, us.
Last night on our way to the park we waved to our friends and ended up visiting.
One dinner party for Christmas invitation done – check.
Later I called one of my other friends and invited her.
There are three of us that take turns hosting dinner.
Now to plan the menu.
I love the planning.
My turn and I thought we should do it for Christmas.
Appears that November and December will be busy and that is good.
Enjoying good company is never a bad thing.
Tonight after our walk while supper is cooking the Halloween decorations will all come down.
I started but they all get put away tonight as da-da-da tomorrow night the ChRiStmAs TrEE goes up.
My friend “G” is going to help me assemble the tree as my daughter is otherwise engaged for the next while.
She is such a busy girl and although it was a little thing we had been doing together since I moved to Edmonton – sometimes
things do not always go according to plan and you know what – I have learned not to fret and am now okay with things changing.
Now I would not say that I love a mad amount of change(s) but some is okay.
At the office there is always change and I guess that has helped me get over my fears.
Perhaps not so much fear but losing control.
Anyway.
So excited to get that tree out of the boxes and decorated.
So happy ….
Move things around …. decorate the front of the house while the weather is nice.
Decorate the inside of the house.
These always take a few days to complete but the main focus is the TrEE …… cannot have Christmas without the tree.
Started putting together ideas for Christmas gifts.
Thinking about baking.
Our Christmas photo done – check
Duplicate photo, Christmas cards and letters to do.
Well almost time to hit the road for work.
Thank goodness Alvin slept until almost 4:30 this morning ….. YAY.
I am not sure how many 3:00 a.m. mornings I could handle.
Have a great day.
Special Hello to: my sister and family and friends back home …
Always, Carol and Alvin

Good Morning and Welcome to Friday the 29th day of January, 2015.
How are you this morning?
Another weekend about to arrive.
What are your plans?
Mine are pretty much the same from week to week.
I have a list of things to do on Saturday my day off for the week.
The list can range from laundry which is always on the top to running out to take Alvin to the Vet to have his pedicure to coffee with my girl friends to making jewellery to cleaning.
It is a varied list for the most part from week to week.
NICE.
I am very blessed and even though sometimes my “EGO” gets in the way ( I do not like when it rears it’s ugly head as I always go over and over the situation and give myself heck ).
I guess most people have a moment or three.
I try very hard every day to be polite, helpful and kind and not to let my feelings which are my EGO take over a situation.
Because it usually means I let a comment or situation be personal and most times they are not.
Last night I let some comments get my EGO and I regret a couple of things that I said and not that they were particularly mean or low-spirited but I felt regretful for letting the words leave my mouth.
You know what I mean.
I believe that most people let it happen from time to time.
Sometimes it is just that we take things personally when they are not meant to be .
Anyway …. that is my “thought” for this Friday.
Try to … I will be a better, more thoughtful, kind and generous person today.
Thank you for reading and I love your comments.
Special Hello to: all my fellow bloggers ….. great job.
Always, Carol and Alvin
P.S: this thought has always ran through my mind ….. who are the people who get to design the “facial tissues boxes” ….. the KLEENEX boxes and such. They always do such an awesome job. Now I want my kleenex boxes to match my decor. I would love to design these boxes. I think this would be one of the best jobs on the planet and you never hear about it.
