Good Morning and YAY today is Saturday.
It is bright outside but only due to the recent snowfall.
Sky is overcast but the sun is trying to punch through the clouds.
Alvin and his best friend Teddy are laying together side by side on the blue blanket.
What a joyous sight.
Once the photos stop downloading I will snap a couple of photos for my next post.
If there is time before they move.
Last night after work and we were done with Alvin eating etc., we went for a nice walk.
Once home I called Aunt J and she brought Master Teddy right over.
The boys were so excited to see each other.
Me, too.
Seems like forever since they have been here to visit.
Aunt J did not stay but to have a quick visit by the door.
I could tell in her eyes that she was exhausted.
It has been a horrible last couple of weeks for her with puppy KOBI and that terrible parasite.
I know that Teddy missed her last night but soon was okay just to settle in with his best friend.
Not long after Teddy arrived last night and moments before I was going to eat my supper, there was a knock at the door.
I opened the door to see one of the little boys from a couple of doors down the street.
He handed me a Valentines Card, a heart shaped red lollipop and two boxes of smarties.
One of the boxes of smarties had only red and pink smarties inside.
What a nice treat for after supper.
He is the most kind and generous of little boys.
He is quiet, sweet and so helpful.
He is the one that always wants to help.
He is polite and compassionate and has manners.
Can you imagine a little boy of “7” bringing a Valentine and treats to your door?
I am not 7 either.
He would not have been prompted by his parents either.
His parents did a great job with him.
The pups last night at bedtime.
Teddy was playing a game with the blanket.
This morning he was playing under the blanket (hide and seek) but the camera was downloading / uploading photos to the computer so I was unable to take photos.
Alvin was watching him.
Then he joined them.
Love these little guys.
I had a great evening.
My day was mixed.
I had planned to go for lunch with one of my clients.
We did but long story short it was not great ….. the coffee shop we went to had closed (how I had forgot, I will never know).
She with her walker.
Normally was not even a five minute walk but with her walker and recent injury, it took about 20 minutes or so.
My poor friend, I don’t know what I was thinking.
We ended up going to the 7-11 which had a little counter set up.
It was okay but not what I had imagined.
I felt terrible.
Not sure what I was thinking.
The Starbucks would have been closer even though we had to cross more streets and I guess there were a couple of small restaurants close to it.
Next time, I will have my poop in a group.
Also she slept in and did not hear when I phoned her at 10:00 a.m.
She missed the DATS bus when it arrived and caught a taxi which cost her a small fortune.
I called DATS (Disabled Adult Transit System, I think) from the 7-11 but they said would be a two hour wait but at first refused to pick her up.
I kept at them but finally the woman said two hours.
Way too long in the downtown 7-11 which had lots of people coming and going.
I could not leave her there by herself for two hours and I could not wait.
So I called a taxi.
I offered to pay but she said she could pay for it.
Unfortunately it was a costly lunch for her.
I paid for lunch although she wanted to ….
I had a little gift for her and remembered to give it to her when she was in the taxi.
Thankfully the taxi came within ten minutes of calling them.
I was thirty minutes late for work but my boss was forgiving.
It was nice to see my client but not what I imagined that it would be.
She in her grace said not to worry.
She was just happy to have a visit with me.
How lucky, how blessed am I.
Between this client, the little boy from a few doors down and the pups.
I am feeling so special.
Well time to get going.
Breakfast is late for me.
Pups ate earlier.
Alvin ate really early just before 5 a.m. and Teddy ate about thirty minutes ago.
I just would like a cup of coffee.
That will happen once I get the first load of laundry into the washer.
I am going to work on the photo project.
Going through my photos and deleting the duplicates etc.
Also I am going through my photo boxes and doing the same.
More the out of focus photos.
For some reason I have a problem throwing them away or deleting them.
So we will have a busy day.
In between we shall go for a walk.
Hopefully the sun will shine.
Wishing you an awesome Saturday.
With Kindness and Respect.
Always, Carol, Alvin and Teddy.
