Hello, yes it is Thursday morning.
Dark outside and will be for several more weeks …. months but that is okay.
It is almost dark by the time that I arrive home from work.
In a short time it will be dark before I arrive home.
Last night I hitched a ride home with my daughter.
So nice to catch up and talk about what was on our mind.
Some work talk and Christmas.
After my daughter continued onto home; I ran, no actually I walked and picked up Mr. Humphrey.
He was to spend the evening with us.
After I brought him to the house a short while later, Alvin and I went for a walk.
Another short one but still fresh air and some exercise.
If Alvin wants to go home I let him lead the way.
I do not want him to get cold.
After we got home, I got Alvin settled in the house before going outside to the front to shovel the sidewalks for us and for Humphrey’s Mom.
I am so grateful that I have great neighbours.
Humphrey’s Mom shovelled the walk before I arrived home from work on Tuesday night after the large snowfall.
We had a nice evening.
Me and the boys.
I wrote some more letters for my Christmas cards.
Writing letters is a dying art form.
Most people do not send Christmas Cards.
They tend to send emails or a shout out from Social Media.
Maybe a emoji or GIF (is that the correct term) of something Christmas.
I will always send some Christmas cards and letters as long as I can hold a pen and write.
Sometime tells me that I have MANY good writing letters and cards left in me.
I would like to be doing this at 100 years old.
Wouldn’t that be awesome.
In fact, I started making cards when I was 8 years old.
The first card was a Valentine’s card for my grandparents.
Decades later when I was looking for something in my Grandma’s dresser drawers; I found a box with some cards and one of them was this card from 8 year old me.
She had saved most of the cards that I had sent to her over the years.
The Christmas Cards, the Birthday Cards, Mother’s Day and the letters that I had mailed from wherever I was living over the course of my life.
I spend a few years living with my Grandmother after my Grandfather died so she was like a Mother to me.
Well looks like time to sign off for another day.
I wish you well.
Happy Thursday.
Thank you for taking the time to read my blog, I am most grateful.
Special Hello to You ….
Always, Carol & Alvin
